INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Use a 0-1800 RPM variable speed drill (at least 14.4V if cordless). Use the PoziSquare driver bits provided. Install fastener perpendicular to deck, increasing drill speed as the screw threads into the deck. Slightly countersink. Do not overdrive. If cam-out occurs, remove and replace screw.
No Predrilling
GuardDog’s sharp piercing point allows for installation without predrilling for most applications. Predrilling is recommended at all seam joints, when fastening within 1 of end of board, and when using hardwoods.
GuardDog PoziSquare Drive – Versatility on the job
The patented PoziSquare Bit is engineered to work with:
The PoziSquare Drive (Recommended drive system–Free bit enclosed)
#2 Square Drive
#2 Phillips Drive
This versatile drive system allows for flexibility at the jobsite. The PoziSquare drive virtually eliminates cam-out during installation. (If cam-out does occur during installation, the fastener should be removed and replaced with a new GuardDog screw.)
GuardDog Coating: Fully Tested, Fully Guaranteed.
The GuardDog coating has been tested and approved for use in ACQ, Copper Azole PT, Cedar, and Redwood applications. This fastener is guaranteed to protect against rust for the life of the project.
Note: Corrosion guarantee does not apply when the fastener is used within 1,000 ft. of a saltwater or when de-icing salts will be in contact with decking.
