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 Specialty
Products™ Technical Services Department, 1-800-858-8501 or visit
www.desatech.com (U.S.A.) 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 hearing 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 use test fastenings to determine the
correct power load level and the tool’s power indicator setting (see
and Power Indicator Setting,
page 13). Operators and bystanders must always

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 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.

Selecting Power Fasteners
Wood or Non-Metals
To Concrete
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.
POWER LOADS AND POWER
INDICATOR SETTING
Proper fastening requires the correct combination of power
load level and the tool’s power indicator setting to match the
fastener length for a given application. A general estimate
for the power load level needed for a given application can
be found in the application chart on page 29. For a given
power load level, always start with the lowest power
indicator setting on the tool. If the first test fastening does
not penetrate to the desired depth, increase the tool’s
power indicator setting 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).
Wood or Non-Metals

Flush With Surface
OVERDRIVEN POWER FASTENERS
AND PISTON
An overdriven power fastener results when the combination of power load level and the tool’s power indicator
setting is too strong causing the piston to extend past the
muzzle. Decrease the tool’s power indicator setting.
Repeated overdrive will damage the tool. By avoiding
overdrive, the tool’s life can be extended considerably
and costly repairs can be avoided.
NOTE: Never fire the tool without a power fastener. This
can damage the tool and/or cause possible injury to the
operator.

Piston Extended
Out of Muzzle
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 muzzle.
NOTE:
Failure to start with
the proper power
level and power setting 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 and power indicator setting
(see
Power Loads and Power Indicator Setting,
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.

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.

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.

Tool does not fire.
Opening and closing of
barrel or pushing down
on tool, etc. is not
smooth but is rough or
binds.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Tool overdriven.
Piston not properly assembled in
relation to stop.
Broken piston or piston ring.
Excessive power.
Overdriving of fastener (see

Advance bar or spring damaged
Tool dirty.
Piston not returning to full rear
position.
Worn piston ring or broken piston.
Misassembled or damaged sear,
firing pin parts, or guide.
Failure of tool to depress completely.
Piston not fully reset.
Dirt buildup on sear not allowing

worn firing pin.
Lack of proper cleaning.
REMEDY
Tap piston on hard surface until
piston is pushed back into the
guide. (See
