SS 305
Applications: For attaching ModWood Xtreme Guard decking to timber substructures, including starter boards, end boards, steps, screening and fascia applications. These fasteners are to be used in conjunction with ModWood hidden fixing systems.
Mechanical Features:Type 17 Auger Tip designed for use with up to 25mm thick decking attached to timber substructures. Tri-lobar shank and acute thread angle for increased driving power and cleaner penetration through harder decking materials. Extra deep star drive recess reduces cam-out. Reverse thread prevents mushrooming
Usage Notes: Follow all instructions provided with ModWood Xtreme Guard decking. Ensure screw head is always flush with deck board surface. Handy Tip - use the ModWood Deck Screw Depth Setter which makes this easy! It may be necessary with dense hardwood timber to pre-drill the substructure. You MUST pre-drill ModWood Xtreme Guard decking prior to installing fasteners! Use a 4.8mm drill bit.
Corrosion Information: All metal fasteners have the potential to corrode. Fasteners used in corrosive environments and materials require higher levels of corrosion resistance. For applications exposed to salt air, near large bodies of salt water, swimming pools or other areas where corrosion is more likely to occur, always use grade 316 stainless steel. Approved for use with ACQ treated timber
Limited Warranty Statement: ModWood warrants its fasteners to be free from defects in material and manufacturing. ModWood’s liability is limited to purchase price of the fastener.
SS 410
Applications: For attaching ModWood Xtreme Guard Decking to steel and aluminum substructures, including starter boards, end boards, steps, screening and fascia applications. These fasteners are to be used in conjunction with ModWood hidden fixing systems.
Triple Strength Corrosion Resstance: 410 stainless steel, zinc plated and epoxy coated.
Mechanical Features: #3 drill point designed for use with up to 25mm thick decking attached to steel and aluminum substructures up to 4mm thick, including steel gauges 18-12 (as well as two 14g joists doubled up). Wings increase the speed and effectiveness of the drill point, and prevent mushrooming.
Usage Notes: Follow all instructions provided with ModWood Xtreme Guard Decking. Ensure screw head is always flush with deck board surface. Handy Tip - use the ModWood Deck Screw Depth Setter which makes this easy! You MUST pre-drill ModWood Xtreme Guard decking prior to installing fastener! Use a 4.8mm drill bit. To ensure full holding power, wings must shear off cleanly and three full threads must be visible beyond the metal structure.
Limited Warranty Statement: ModWood warrants its fasteners to be free from defects in material and manufacturing. ModWood’s liability is limited to purchase price of the fastener.
Corrosion Information: All metal fasteners have the potential to corrode. Fasteners used in corrosive environments and materials require higher levels of corrosion resistance. These screws are made of grade 410 stainless steel and an epoxy based polymer resin coating over zinc plate. For applications exposed to salt water air, near large bodies of salt water, swimming pools or other areas where corrosion is more likely to occur, always use grade 316 stainless steel.

Deck Screw Depth Setter
ModWood Deck Screw Depth Setter drives screws to the perfect depth - flush or below the work surface - everytime. It is adjustable and easy to use on decks and general construction. The tools Auto-stop mechanism sets the screw at the target depth, without stripping the screw recess. A free spinning stop collar with a rubber O-ring protects the work surface from damaging orr marking. The depth Setter works with Phillips and Torx bits and is designed for use with ModWood fasteners and other screw products
Setting Screw Depth: Loosen Locking RRing (A) and set screw depth by moving the Adjustment Ring (B) to the desired position. The adjustment ring must engage at least two full threads of the tool body. Secure the Adjustment Ring (B) with Locking Ring (A). Check the depth by test on a piece of scrap material.
Correct Use: Use a standard drill; do not use an impact drriverr. Drill in a straight and stable fashion. The scrrew is set when the Auto-Stop mechanism engages fully (making a "pop" sound in most materials)
Replacing Driver Bit: Disconnect powerr an retract the tool fully; remove the bit with pliers. To insert a new bit, retract the tool fully and insert the bit all the way into the tool
Warning To reduce the risk of injury, follow the instructions of your power tool manufacturer and use safety glasses
