ANCHORING TIP SHEET
1. Anchors must be at least 5” from the edge of the slab or any seam.
2. Use a concrete hammer drill with a 3/4 carbide bit.
3. Do not use a worn bit.
4. Drill in a perpendicular line with the hole.
5. Do not apply excessive pressure to the drill. Let the drill do the
work.
6. Lift the drill up and down occasionally to remove residue and to
reduce binding.
7. Drill the hole to a depth equal to the length of the anchor, or
completely through the slab.
8. For better holding power, blow all dust and residue from hole before
driving anchor into hole.
9. Place a flat washer over threaded end of anchor. Spin nut 1/2” down
past end of anchor. Carefully tap anchor into the concrete until nut and
flat washer are against base plate. Do not use an impact wrench to
tighten.
