KNOW YOUR FASTENING BASE MATERIAL

1. ALWAYS know the thickness and type of base material into which you are fasten-

ing. 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 eye 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.

2. NEVER attempt to drive power fasteners into very hard or brittle materials in-

cluding, 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.

3. NEVER make fastenings in spalled or cracked areas.

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.

5. DO NOT fasten through or within 1/2" of predrilled or pre-punched holes.

6. Power fasteners are a permanently installed ﬁxture. An act of demolition is

required for their removal. Appropriate safety precautions must be taken.

7. NEVER use common nails or other materials as fasteners. Remington® Power Fasteners are manufactured from special steel and heat treated to produce a very hard, yet ductile, fastener.

NEVER pry a power load out of the strip. Prying can discharge the load causing

serious injury (See Troubleshooting Guide, pages 23 and 24). NEVER attempt to reload used strips.

9. If work is interrupted for any reason, ALWAYS remove the power load strip before removing the power fastener.

114915

Why A Power Fastener Holds

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 power 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 base concrete. Make sure the concrete is at least three times as thick as the intended power 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 power fastener does not penetrate, the spring action of the steel pushes back on the point and tends to force the power fastener out.

Recommended applications are between 3/16-3/8 NOTE: When fastening in steel be sure the point goes through the steel.

114915

Selecting Power Fasteners

OVERDRIVE

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 power fastener that will actually penetrate the concrete. The concrete must be three times as thick as the intended power fastener penetration. In most cases, penetration should be approximately 1" to 1 1/4" into the base concrete material.

FASTENING INTO STEEL

The proper power 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.

POWER LOADS

Always start with the lowest power level (green-level

3). If the ﬁrst test power 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.

NOTE: NEVER ﬁre the tool without a power fastener. This can damage the tool and/or cause possible injury to the operator.
