2. Slide the sleeve of the A88X-Press It® over the drill bit until it connects to the receiver.
3. With the internally-threaded portion of the anchor (XP 20, XP 35) positioned inside the socket of the installation tool, secure the square base of the Sammy X-Press® within the square recessed guidelines of the installation tool.
4. Insert the Sammy X-Press® anchor through the pre-drilled hole. Install the Sammy X-Press® anchor to release the expandable portion of the anchor and secure the anchor in the metal deck or purlin to allow vertical orientation of threaded rod.
