Thread Depth Indicator

Step 1. Insert th e thread depth indicator (supplied) through the thread inserts found on the back of the flat panel to make su re the

inserts measure the same full depth and mark it.

Step 2. Locate the correct diameter screw for the thread insert. Compare your marking to the screws (supplied).
Step 3. If your selected screw is longer than the marking on the thread depth indicator, DO NOT USE this screw.
Step 4. The screw length must not bypass the marking. Select another screw size, until you find one that comes closest to your mark
