STIHL TS 400 Tightening torques DG screws are screwed into plastic and light metal parts. These screws cut a thread in the material when they are screwed in for the first time. The material is permanently deformed. The screws can then be removed at will and retightened without impairing the strength of the screw connection, provided that the specified tightening torque is maintained.
