Installation & Usage

1. Position screw perpendicular to work surface ensuring proper alignment with target material within 0.035-0.110 inch thickness range
2. Apply steady downward pressure while engaging hex drive with appropriate driver tool sized for 5/16" indented hex head
3. Begin drilling at moderate speed allowing #2 drill point to penetrate and create clean entry hole in steel substrate
4. Continue driving as self-tapping threads engage material, maintaining consistent pressure and rotation speed
5. Drive until integrated washer contacts surface and screw head reaches proper seating depth
6. Verify secure installation by checking that washer provides full contact and load distribution across fastened materials
