Screw Fastening Systems
5.2.2 Kwik-Pro Self-Drilling Screws

5.2.2.4 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

For optimal performance and proper setting of self-drilling screws, it is important that proper depth location and torque setting be used.

Varying the depth control is accomplished by rotating the locking collar. When the nosepiece contacts the fatened material, the driving clutch disengages and the driver no longer turns the screw. The torque control limits the torque (power) output of the Kwik-Tapper screwdriver. The drive motor will "ratchet" when the desired torque is reached, helping to prevent overdriving or stripping of the screw. This becomes very important when fastening into thin or soft metals as well as using the Flo-Seal screws.

For best results, hold the Kwik-Tapper screwdriver perpendicular to the work surface. Exert only enough pressure to engage the clutch and then trigger the tool. In driving, remember that the self-drilling screw must first perform a drilling operation. This requires only a nominal amount of pressure--let the Kwik-Tapper and drill point do the work. The variable speed switch allows you to control the drill speed to prevent "walking" of the screwpoint.
