Screws secured with adhesive are easier to loosen if the adhesive is heated first with a hot air blower.
Exercise caution on polymer components.
Use the following procedure to fit a P (Plastoform) or DG screw in an existing thread:
– Place the screw in the hole and rotate it counterclockwise until it drops down slightly.
– Tighten the screw clockwise to the specified torque.
This procedure ensures that the screw engages properly in the existing thread and does not form a new thread
and weaken the assembly.
Power screwdriver speed setting for polymer:
– P screws: max. 500 rpm
