• 3/16" Allen Bit Tip (Provided)
To Install S-5-USF Mini / S-5-EF Mini
1. Partially thread the setscrew into the clamp by hand.
2. Determine how to position the clamp. On many snap-together type seams,
the setscrew is opposite the open (or overlap) side of the seam. On some
seams, this aspect of clamp orientation is not critical.
3. Tighten the setscrew at the base of the clamp using a screw gun* and the
included screw gun bit tip.
