Step 3
Place the C-Sert assembly into the pilot hole, as deep as it will go. Turn the assembly clockwise only 2 or 3 full turns, to form guide threads.

Step 7
Turn the C-Sert in manually so that it follows the pilot threads that you did in Step 3. Then turn the C-Sert in steadily until the installation nut shoulders up against the surface of the workpiece.

Step 8
When the nut has shouldered up against the surface of the workpiece, secure it well with a wrench, and then with a second wrench remove the installer bolt. Break up the chips inside the C-Sert and blow them out.
