Safety Precautions
Safety is your primary responsibility when operating any
powder actuated tool. You must read and understand the
contents of this manual. You must be familiar with all functional
and safety requirements of the tool. It is your responsibility to
obtain proper training and a Powers Fasteners operator card prior
to using this tool in compliance with the current American
National Standard A10.3 Safety Requirements for Powder
Actuated Fastening Systems and the Federal Occupational Safety
and Health Administration Standards (OSHA). Existing state or
local regulations should also be followed. When using this tool,
you must have the qualified operators card in your possession.
Revocation of card - Failure to comply with any of the rules and
regulations for safe operation of powder actuated tools shall be
cause for the immediate revocation of your qualified operator card.
The following is a summary of safety precautions to be
followed when operating a Powers Fasteners powder actuated
tool. Failure to follow these safety instructions can result in
serious injury or death to operators or bystanders.
PRIOR TO OPERATING THE TOOL
1. Warning signs should always be posted within the area in
which a powder actuated tool is to be used. These signs should be
at least 8" x 10" in size with boldface type that is not less than 1"
in height. The sign should state "Powder Actuated Tool In Use".
2. Approved safety goggles should always be worn by operator
or bystander, to protect their eyes from flying particles. Hearing
protection should always be worn by the operator and
bystanders when using a powder actuated tool. Other personal
safety protection as required should also be used.
3. Never modify or fabricate parts for use in your Powers tool.
Use only Powers Fasteners, loads, and tool parts.
4. Hands or other body parts must never be placed in front of
muzzle/barrel. Accidental discharge can cause piston and/or
fastener to pass through the operator’s hand.
5. Never compress the tool against any part of the body. Serious
injury or death may result in the event of an accidental discharge.
6. Always point tool in a safe direction at all times.
7. Use the tool for its intended purpose only.
PREPARATION FOR LOADING THE TOOL
1. Tools must be checked prior to operating to make sure
they are not fully or partially loaded with a powder load or fastener.
2. To insure safe operation, perform the daily function test
described in this manual. Be sure the tool is not loaded prior to
performing this test.
3. Do not operate this tool unless all its parts are in place and
operating appropriately. Never attempt to use a malfunctioning
tool. Call 1-800-524-3244 for assistance.
4. Never guess about the suitability of a base material. If you
are uncertain about the suitability of a base material, perform a
center punch test.
5. Do not operate the tool until you learn and understand the
color code / numbering system used to identify the power level
of powder loads.
OPERATING THE TOOL
1. Only use fasteners and powder loads designed for this tool
as supplied by Powers Fasteners.
2. Do not use powder actuated tools in a flammable or an
explosive atmosphere.
3. Do not fire a tool without a fastener. The piston will impact
the work surface possibly causing serious injury to the operator
or bystanders along with damage to the tool.
4. Do not load the tool until you are ready to make a fastening.
Check the power load level before inserting it into the tool chamber.
5. Fastener must be loaded prior to loading the powder load, to
prevent injury to operator or bystander in the event of an
accidental discharge.
6. Do not close tool against work surface. The tool should be
manually closed, with hand away from muzzle/barrel to prevent
accidental discharge.
7. Hold the tool perpendicular to the work surface at all times. Use
a spall guard wherever possible. This will limit the possibility of
fastener ricochet which could cause serious injury or death to the
operator or bystanders.
8. Always perform a test fastening with the lightest load level
designed for use in the tool. If the lightest load fails to set the
fastener, try the next highest load until the proper level is
attained. Failure to follow this procedure may cause the fastener
to be overpowered. If this occurs, the fastener may fully
penetrate the base material causing serious injury or death to
someone. Overpowering the fastener can also damage the tool,
creating a safety hazard to both the operator or bystanders.
9. Do not fasten into cast iron, tile, glass, or other types of
brittle materials. These materials can shatter and create sharp
fragments which may cause injury.
10. Do not fire tool within 3" (three inches) of the edge of a
concrete base material or within 1/2" (one-half inch) of the edge
of a steel base material.
11. Do not attempt to install a fastener closer than 3" (three
inches) to another previously inserted fastener in concrete or 1-
1/2" (one and one-half inch) in steel.
12. Do not fasten into a concrete base material less than 3 times
as thick as the fastener penetration or into a steel base material
thinner than 1/8”.
13. Never attempt to install a fastener in a cracked or spalled
area in concrete. Place fastener at least 3” (three inches) away
from a spalled area to prevent the possibility of the fastener
bending and striking an operator or bystander.
14. Do not attempt to install fasteners in areas that have been
welded or cut with a torch as these procedures may have caused
local hardening of the steel.
15. Do not fasten through a predrilled hole unless proper
guidance is provided.
16. If you decide not to make a fastening after the tool has
been loaded, you must always remove the powder load first
