- 1). Insert the masonry bit included with the concrete screw kit into the hammer drill.
- 2). Read the instructions with the concrete screw kit to determine the depth needed for the concrete screw.
- 3). Set the depth gauge to the depth specified by the concrete anchor kit. Secure the depth gauge.
- 4). Align the drill bit with the point on the concrete wall where you require the screw, wearing your safety glasses.
- 5). Drill the hole into the concrete. Stop drilling when the depth gauge contacts the surface of the concrete.
- 6). Insert the hex head adapter into the chuck of the drill motor.
- 7). Place the head of the concrete screw into the hex adapter.
- 8). Insert the tip of the screw into the hole that you bored into the concrete in Step 5.
- 9). Slowly run the concrete anchor into the concrete. Bump the trigger of the drill to keep the screw turning slowly. If the screw binds, reverse the drill to back out the concrete screw. When you see a puff of dust emit from the hole, resume running the screw into the concrete hole. Continue the process of reversing the drill when the screw binds, to avoid breaking the screw off inside of the concrete wall.

Stop the drill motor when the head of the concrete screw touches the surface of the concrete. Overtightening can damage the threads in the concrete or break the screw.
