Troubleshooting
Screw head stripping
Use the correct size and type of Pozidriv bit, apply firm pressure, and avoid over-tightening. If the head is stripped, try a larger screw.
Screw won't insert easily
Pre-drill a pilot hole, especially in hardwoods. Ensure the screw point is not damaged and that the wax coating is still present.
Screw is not flush
Make sure you are using a countersunk screw and that the recess is clear of debris. Adjust the depth of insertion carefully.
Screw breaks during insertion
Use a larger diameter screw or pre-drill a pilot hole. Reduce the insertion torque.
