The SECURIT S8101 Twinthread Screws are versatile fasteners designed for general purpose use in wood, plastic, and light metalwork. Follow these instructions to ensure proper usage.

Tools Required

Preparation

1. Check the Package: Ensure you have the correct size and type of screws. This package contains 70 zinc-plated, 3x13mm screws.
2. Gather Tools: Assemble all necessary tools before beginning.
3. Mark the Area: Use a pencil to mark where the screws will be inserted.

Installation

1. Optional – Drill Pilot Holes: For hard materials, it might be helpful to drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw diameter to prevent splitting.
2. Align the Screw: Place the screw on the marked spot, ensuring it is straight and aligned with the material.
3. Insert the Screw: Use a screwdriver or electric drill to drive the screw into the material. Ensure it is flush with the surface for a countersunk finish.

Finishing Up

1. Verify Security: Check that the screws are securely fastened and not over-tightened, which could strip the material or the screw.
2. Clean Up: Remove any debris or dust created during the installation process.

Safety Tips

• Ensure tools are in good condition and suitable for the task.
• Keep fingers away from the screw path to avoid injury.

Troubleshooting
