securely against the aligning feature and
drive screws parallel with the balusters, not
perpendicular to the bottom rail. Do not over-
tighten.
Round Metal Balusters:
Insert the screw into
the center “X” of the end baluster. It may be
necessary to slightly over-drill the factory-
drilled holes by rocking the moving bit parallel
with the direction of the rail. Do not over-
tighten.
Continue working from one end until all the
balusters are secured into the bottom rail.
