11. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten each steel stud anchor screw until the legs have completely compressed against the back of the steel stud.
The steel stud anchor screw will feel tight when you first begin to turn it until the legs begin to compress. The steel stud anchor screw will then
turn easier for several turns. The steel stud anchor screw will again feel tight when the legs have completely compressed against the back of
the drywall. Stop turning the steel stud anchor screw at that point (Figure 22).
Do not overtighten the steel stud anchor screw.
12. Remove the steel stud anchor screws and set them aside.
Steel stud anchors may come with small paper washers. You may leave them on the screw or discard them. These small paper washers do not
replace standard 5/16" washers.
