4. Product use instructions
(i) Preparation of tools
Before using this self-tapping screws for installation, please make sure you have a suitable Phillips screwdriver ready. The size of the screwdriver's bit should match the screw's Phillips slot to ensure that it can fit tightly and avoid slippage during operation. For harder materials or installation scenarios that require greater tightening force, it is recommended to use a better quality screwdriver with a thicker handle so that you can apply force more easily.
(II) Installation Steps
Determine the mounting position: According to the needs of your DIY project, determine the mounting position of the screws on the material to be fixed. Use a pencil or other marking tool to mark the screws to make sure the position of the screws is accurate to ensure the stability of the structure and aesthetics after installation.
Tapping the screws: Insert the Phillips screwdriver into the Phillips slot of the screws, keep the screwdriver perpendicular to the surface of the material to be fixed, and then apply appropriate pressure and slowly rotate the screwdriver so that the screws begin to tap into the material. During the tapping process, maintain a stable rotational speed and strength to avoid over-exertion resulting in broken screws or rupture of the material. If you encounter greater resistance, you can properly adjust the tapping angle or first exit the screw, clean up the tapping part of the debris, and then continue to operate.
Tighten the screw: When the screw is tapped to a certain depth, continue to rotate the screwdriver to tighten the screw. Be careful not to over-tighten as this may damage the material being held or cause the screw to slip. Generally speaking, the tightening operation can be stopped when the head of the screw closely fits the surface of the material to be fixed and it is no longer possible to easily rotate the screwdriver. For some connection parts that require higher tightening force, you can appropriately increase the tightening force, but pay attention to observe the material to withstand the situation to avoid damage.
(iii) Precautions
Safety Protection: When using the screws for installation operation, please wear appropriate safety protection equipment, such as gloves, goggles, etc., to prevent the screws from accidentally popping out during operation, causing personal injury.
Material suitability: Although the self-tapping screws are suitable for a variety of common materials, but before use, please ensure that you understand the characteristics and hardness of the material to be fixed, select the appropriate specifications of the screws, and in inconspicuous parts of the trial installation to ensure that the screws can be tapped smoothly and achieve the desired fastening effect. For some special materials, such as high-strength alloys, ceramics, etc., it may be necessary to pre-drill the holes first or use other special installation methods, so please be careful.
Storage and Maintenance: When not in use, please store the screws in a dry and ventilated environment to avoid moisture and rust. If slight rust appears on the surface of the screws, you can use sandpaper or wire brush to gently wipe it off, and apply a small amount of antirust oil after removing the rust to prolong the service life of the screws.
