Note:-
Hardwoods may require a pilot hole to be pre-drilled as this will assist the screw in tapping a thread whilst reducing timber splitting and driving torque.
Sheet metal must be pre-drilled with a pilot hole.
For information on the correct size pilot hole to drill refer to our Technical data section for Self Tapping Screws.
