it will go without turning it to establish a starting position. It
is recommended to penetrate the dry soft sand/soil firstly before
screwing it in. - Screw the Sand Screw into the ground in a clockwise direction
only. Apply firm downward pressure at the same time to drive the
screw deep into the earth. - If the sand is particularly soft and dry, and starting the Sand
Screw is challenging, dig away the top layer of sand and start
lower in the harder packed layer. - For best results, insert the Sand Screw as far as possible. The
depth of insertion depends on how densely packed and moist the sand
or earth is. Trying an adjacent location may be easier if the sand
or ground yields more easily. - The Sand Screw can be used to attach ropes and ties as
illustrated. - For awning setup, position the screw at the base of the leg to
minimize trip hazards with extending guy ropes. Set the angle of
the Sand Screw in line with the attaching rope. - To remove the Sand Screw, turn the handle in an anticlockwise
direction until it becomes loose enough to lift out. Store the Sand
Screws in their original box or in a place where heavy objects
cannot bend or deform them.
