Warning: Safety Precautions
IMPORTANT: Read these operating instructions carefully and completely before trying to operate or service this tool. Improper use of
this tool can cause serious injury or death from firing fastener into
body or from flying debris. We expressly disclaim any liability for any
injury to persons or damage to property which result from your failure
to take the precautions contained in this manual.
WARNING: This tool is designed only for use by qualified operators.
Qualification is obtained through a thorough understanding of the Safety
Warnings and operating instructions as defined in this operating manual.
NOTE: The labor regulations of many states require that the operator of this
tool on a job site be thoroughly trained and certified for competence prior
to operating this tool. For certification procedures, call: DESA Tool Division,
1-800-626-2237 (USA) or 1-905-826-8010 (Canada).
BEFORE USING
1. Always handle the tool as if it were loaded. Before starting work, check that the
tool is unloaded and the muzzle is clear. Never load a tool unless it is going to
be used.
DEFECTIVE
2. Always inspect to make sure the tool is working properly. If the tool does not
work properly, remove from service and tag “DEFECTIVE.” Do not use the tool
again until it has been properly repaired.
G 018
3. Operators and bystanders must ALWAYS wear goggles and ear protection
which meet or exceed the accepted standards for adequate protection in your
country. In the USA, refer to ANSI standards. In Canada, refer to CSA standards.

1. Always know the thickness and type of base material into which you are
fastening. Never guess. Test the base material by using the Center Punch Test.
The Center Punch Test is performed by using a hammer to test drive the
particular power fastener to be used into the material. If the point penetrates
easily, the material is too soft. If the point becomes blunt, the material is too
hard. If the material fractures, cracks or shatters, the material is too brittle. Test
fastenings can be made if the material shows a clear fastener impression and
the fastener point is not blunted. Always start with the lowest power load
(Green-Level 3) and proceeding with the order shown in the lower right-hand
figure above. Operators and bystanders must always wear goggles and ear
protection which meet or exceed the accepted standards for adequate protection in your country. In the USA, refer to ANSI standards. In Canada, refer to
CSA standards.

Why A Power Fastener Holds
482-64
WHY A POWER FASTENER HOLDS
IN CONCRETE
The compression bond of the concrete to the power
fastener accounts for the majority of the holding power.
The fastener displaces the concrete which tries to return
to its original form causing a squeezing effect.
Maximum holding power is achieved when the depth of
penetration produces a bond on the power fastener equal
to the strength of the concrete. As a general rule, penetration should be approximately 1" to 1 1/4" into the base
concrete. Make sure the concrete is at least three times
as thick as the intended fastener penetration. Never have
the power fastener point protrude through the concrete.
NOTE: Concrete needs to cure for 28 days before
maximum fastening holding power will be achieved.
WHY A POWER FASTENER HOLDS IN STEEL
Holding power in steel depends on the elasticity of the
steel. The steel pushes back on the shank of the power
fastener.
Drop a marble into water; the water parts, the marble
continues down, the water closes back. This is similar to
the reaction when a power fastener penetrates steel.
In steel, the point of the power fastener must penetrate
completely through for highest holding power. If the
fastener does not penetrate, the spring action of the steel
pushes back on the point and tends to force the fastener
out.
Recommended applications are between 3/16-3/8"
steel.
NOTE: When fastening in steel be sure the point goes
through the steel.
12
482-65
105635
Selecting Power Fasteners
and Power loads
FASTENING INTO CONCRETE
The proper power fastener length can be determined by
adding the thickness of the material to be fastened and the
amount of fastener that will actually penetrate the concrete. The concrete must be three times as thick as the
intended fastener penetration. In most cases, penetration
should be approximately 1" to 1 1/4" into the base concrete
material.
FASTENING INTO STEEL
The proper fastener length can be determined by adding
the thickness of the material to be fastened and the
thickness of the steel. The point of the power fastener
must go completely through the steel.
Wood or Non-Metals

482-85
482-79
POWER LOADS
Always start with the lowest power level (green-level 3). If
the first test fastener does not penetrate to the desired
depth, move to the next highest power level (yellow-level
4). Increase until a proper fastening is made.
IMPORTANT: Damage to the tool will result if the above
instructions are not followed (see illustrations to right and
lower right).
OVERDRIVEN POWER FASTENERS
AND PISTON
An overdriven power fastener results when too strong of
a power load is used causing the piston to extend past the
muzzle. Move to the next lightest power load. Repeated
overdrive will damage your tool. By avoiding overdrive,
you can extend the life of your tool considerably and avoid
costly repairs.
NOTE: Never fire the tool without a power fastener. This
can damage the tool and/or cause possible injury to the
operator.

Operation
1. Grasp barrel assembly and slide forward rapidly until it stops. Push barrel
assembly back into tool to the closed position. This sets piston into firing
position.

2. Insert power fastener into muzzle of tool, head end first. Push the fastener until
point is even with end of tool.
NOTE:
Failure to start with
the lowest power
level can result in
overdrive condition
and will result in
damage to tool
(See page 13).
3. Select the proper power level of power load strips. Always insert power load
strips through bottom of handle. Push power load strip in until even with bottom
of handle.
4. Place the muzzle of tool perpendicular to work surface without tilting the tool.
Push tool against work surface until sliding action of barrel stops.

105635
Operation
5. Squeeze trigger to set power fastener. Be sure to keep pressure on tool during
this operation.
6. Grasp muzzle cap and slide barrel forward rapidly until it stops. Push barrel
assembly back into tool to the closed position. This advances the power load
strip and resets the piston for the next fastening.
WARNING: Do not depress barrel assembly past the closed position
when loading new power fastener. Live power load is in firing position.
WATER
7. Should the tool fail to fire, hold the muzzle firmly against the work surface for
30 seconds. Release the trigger and remove pressure on the tool while
holding the muzzle against the work surface. Again press the tool firmly
against the work surface and pull the trigger. If the tool still fails to fire, hold
the tool firmly against the work surface for another 30 seconds before
advancing the power load strip. Use remaining loads in strip. Discard power
load strip into water or oil.
