PREPERATION
Base materials acceptable to shoot:
Powder-actuated fastening is suitable for use in the
following base material only:
-Poured concrete
-Structural Steel
-Masonry Joints
Never attempt to fasten into any other type of
material. Fastening into other types of materials
can cause serious injury.
Unacceptable Base materials that should
not be fastened to:
Never attempt to fasten into very hard or brittle
materials such as cast iron, tile, glass or rocks of
any kind. These materials can shatter, break,
causing the base material and fragments to pop up
or fly freely and cause serious injury to the tool
operator and others around the operator.
Never attach directly to a base where it can easily
penetrate like wood or gypsum board. These types
of materials may cause the fasteners to skip
through to the other side making it dangerous for
other people who are around.
Never fasten into a base material that fails the
center punch test. Failure to check the suitability of
the base material can cause serious injury to the
eyes or other body parts.
Center Punch Test
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN
PERFORMING THIS TEST.
1. Always check the hardness of the base
where you are to fasten.
2. Using a fastener as a center punch, strike
the fastener against the work surface with a
regular hammer and check the results.
Center Punch Test Result
1. If the fastener point is flattened, the
material is too hard for a powder actuated
fastening.
2. If the fastener easily penetrates the
material, the material is too soft.
3. If the material cracks or shatters, the
material is too fragile.
4. If the fastener causes a small indentation
into the material, the material is suitable for
powder actuated fastening.
