instructions as defined in this operating manual. NOTE: Your local labor regulations may
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 1-800-626-2237
(U.S.A.) or 1-905-826-8010 (Canada)
BEFORE USING

3. Operators and bystanders must ALWAYS wear goggles and hearing protection
which meet or exceed the accepted standards for adequate protection in your
country. In the U.S., refer to ANSI standards. In Canada, refer to CSA standards.
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.
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.

4. NEVER carry or pass a loaded powder actuated tool. NEVER point a powder
actuated tool at anyone.
6. ALWAYS take precaution to maintain your balance while operating a powder
actuated tool.
5. If the tool is dropped, inspect for damage and repair it before continuing to work.

7. An operator taking medication should take extra precautions while handling the tool.
NEVER drink alcoholic beverages or take medications which impair your vision,
balance or judgement before using a powder actuated tool.
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 (Gray-Level 1) and proceed with the order
shown in the lower right-hand figure above. Always wear approved goggles.

Safety Precautions

3. NEVER make fastenings in spalled or cracked areas.
5. DO NOT fasten through or within 1/2" of predrilled or pre-punched holes.
4. NEVER drive power fasteners into thin or easily penetrated materials unless it is
backed by concrete or steel. When in doubt, such as when base material is
concealed, conduct a Center Punch Test (See page 6). Check continually to avoid
fastening into unsuitable material, especially in older buildings.

CAST IRON GLASS
2. NEVER attempt to drive power fasteners into very hard or brittle materials including,
but not limited to cast iron, glass, tile, stone, brick, or hardened steel. Materials of
this type tend to shatter and create hazard from flying particles.

6. DO NOT drive power fasteners into concrete less than three times as thick as the
intended fastener penetration, within 3" of the edge, within 3" of another power
fastener or within 3" of a failed power fastener.
7. DO NOT drive power fasteners into steel base material less then 3/16" thick, within
2" of a weld, within 1/2" of the edge or within 1" of another power fastener.
8. When fastening into masonry walls, always drive into horizontal mortar joints, never
into vertical mortar joints. BE CAREFUL. A poorly laid joint may permit too much
penetration, and/or unsatisfactory holding power.
OPERATING THE TOOL
1. ALWAYS hold tool perpendicular to work surface.
