Instructions for using the product:
• Prepare the surface: Before installing the PVC self-tapping insert, make sure that the surface to which you will attach the drywall is clean and dry. Remove any paint, dirt or other contaminants.
• Place the panel: Place the drywall panel in the desired location and align it properly. Make sure the panel is positioned correctly and fits snugly against the surface.
• Screwing: Take the PVC self-tapping insert and place it in the desired location on the board. Using a screwdriver or a drill with a screw attachment, screw the screw into the insert and the board. Be careful not to overtighten to avoid damaging the board.
• Repeat the process: Repeat the screwing process for the remaining inserts. Make sure to maintain an even distance between the inserts.
• Check the strength: After completing the assembly, check the strength of the screws.

Useful tips for work:
• Before installation, check that you have enough PVC self-tapping inserts for the entire project. We recommend having a few extra inserts in stock for possible repairs or follow-up projects.
• If you are dealing with an uneven surface, you can use additional shims or leveling materials to ensure even attachment.
• We recommend that you use appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, during installation to avoid possible injuries.

Warnings:
• Do not use the inserts in concrete, brick, stone or solid wood unless the product is specifically designed for such substrates. Self-tapping inserts of this type are intended for plasterboard.
• Do not exceed the permissible load capacity of the specific insert and do not use laboratory or maximum values as normal working loads.
• Do not use damaged, deformed or cracked inserts.
• Do not use an oversized or improper screw as it may damage the plastic insert or plasterboard.
• Do not tighten the screw with excessive force or torque.
• Wear safety glasses when drilling or screwing and check for any hidden electrical wiring or pipes before installation.
• For televisions, heavy cabinets, larger wall brackets, or other items with high or dynamic loads, use a dedicated, heavier mounting system that is suitable for the specific wall construction.
