The self-drilling dowel can be screwed directly through the wooden part to be assembled with the aluminium connector, without pre-drilling.

For installation with an aluminium connector, we recommend using a high-torque, low-speed screwdriver (600-1000 rpm). A pressure of 25 to 30 kg should be applied to the screwdriver after the drill tip comes into contact with the aluminium.

It is recommended to have a wood notch clearance of 1 to 2 mm, i.e. a notch of 7 to 8 mm for a 6 mm thick plate (BTALU type), to allow chips to be removed. The dowel must be perpendicular to the plate to be drilled.
