Note
•
When cutting Fortress Fencing, it is very important to
complete the following at cut points:
• Remove all metal shavings from the cut area.
• File any sharp edges left by cutting. Thoroughly wipe and
remove any filings, grime, or dirt.
• Apply two coats of Fortress zinc based touch-up paint to
the cut area. If touch up is at rail ends, allow paint to dry
before connecting bracket to post.
• Be sure to remove any metal shavings from the surface of
Fence.
Torx Safety Tips
• Always use the lowest speed setting on drill.
• To reduce chance of bit breakage, start tightening with drill
on low torque setting and work up until screw is secured.
