Hints for use
• When driving screws close to the ends of hardwoood or
treated timber boards it may be necessary to pre-drill pilot
holes to prevent spitting.
• Use the proper screws for the task on hand. Drywall
screws are not suitable for decking applications.
• Make sure that screws are long enough to ensure a
secure fastening.
• Use the low speed gear when driving into decking and
the like, and the high speed gear when driving into
drywalls.
• Once the screw has started to drive into the material, do
not stop until it is fully seated. Keep full pressure of the
bit on the screw head to prevent slippage and possible
damage to the screw head or bit.
• Before driving deck screws check that there is not gap
between the board and the support.
• Do not drive through knots in the wood unless absolutely
necessary. If there is no choice, pre-drill a pilot hole to the
same diameter as that of the screw shank.
