• Use the correct square-drive (Robertson) bit to avoid stripping the screw head
• Hand-start the screw to ensure proper alignment before using power tools
• Do not overtighten; stop once the part is snug to avoid thread or panel damage
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety precautions before servicing
