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

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.

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 hazards from flying particles.
G 018
3. NEVER make fastenings in spalled or cracked areas.
G 018
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.
G 018
5. DO NOT fasten through or within 1/2" of predrilled or pre-punched holes.

G 018
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.

2. 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.

IMPORTANT:
Purple (level 6) power load strips
will not function in model 500V tool.
