STIHL 088 6
Use the following procedure when refitting a Plastoform screw in an existing thread:
- Place the screw in the hole and rotate it counterclockwise until it drops down slightly.
- Tighten the screw clockwise to the specified torque.
This procedure ensures that the screw engages properly in the existing thread and does not form a new thread and
weaken the joint.
