HANDLING THE TOOL AND POWDER LOADS
1. Never leave a loaded tool unattended. Once the tool is
loaded, make the fastening immediately or unload the tool.
2. Always unload the tool before work breaks, changing parts,
cleaning or servicing, and when storing.
3. To prevent accidental discharge of loads, never carry the powder
loads in the same container as the fasteners or other hard objects.
4. Always store the powder loads in the containers provided or in
an enclosure provided for them. Never intermix the various power
levels. Keep them segregated in clearly identified containers.
5. Powder loads should never be used in firearms. They are normally
more powerful that the cartridges supplied with the firearms.
6. Powder actuated tools and powder loads should always be stored
under lock and key. Tools must be unloaded when not in use.
TOOL MALFUNCTION
1. In the event that a load fails to discharge after the trigger is
pulled, the tool must be kept depressed against the work surface
for a minimum of 30 (thirty) seconds in case of a delayed load
discharge. Then carefully remove the entire load strip. and
dispose of it in a can of water or other nonflammable liquid.
Never attempt to force or pry a load out of a tool chamber.
2. Never discard unfired powder loads into a trash container.
3. Do not attempt to unload or disassemble a jammed, stuck or
broken tool as improper handling may cause it to discharge and
strike operator and/or bystander. A jammed tool must be pointed
in a safe direction at all times. Tag the tool and lock it up. Call
your Powers Fasteners representative for proper assistance.
Tool Operation
CAUTION:
— Be sure to read and understand all of
thesafety precautions and training in this manual before
attempting to operate the tool. (Check to be sure the tool is
not loaded, the piston moves freely within the
barrel, and no foreign objects or fasteners are in
the barrel.) Perform the daily function test
before using the tool.
OPERATION
1. Always point the tool in a safe direction
away from bystanders and the operator. Slide the barrel
forward. This can be done by snapping your wrist. The barrel
should be pulled fully forward to reset the
piston for the next fastening. Loss of
power may result from an im properly
positioned piston.
2. Always load the fastener before
inserting powder load to prevent injury to the operator or
bystanders in the event of an accidental discharge. Place the
fastener, point out, into the end of the
nose piece until the fluted tip fits inside.
Do not use excessive force when inserting
the fastener. If excessive force is required,
stop and determine why the fastener can
not be inserted. Correct the problem
before proceeding.
NOTE: Do not use fasteners longer than 3" as listed in the
fastener selection section of this manual.
3. Make sure the breech is clear. Insert the powder load
starting with the lowest power level. If this Load does not fully
set the fastener, try the next higher power level until the proper
level is found.
NOTE: Over driving or over powering a
fastener can cause a safety hazard.
4. Pull the barrel all the way back to
close the tool. Do not attempt to close
the tool by exerting force on the front of the nose piece. Never
place your fingers or hands over muzzle bushing. The safe
position for hands and fingers are as shown in the diagram.
Hands must never be placed in front of
the tool muzzle or nose piece. In the
event of an accidental discharge, the
piston and/or fastener can pass
through the operators hand.
5. Once the tool is in the closed position, place it against the
work surface. Hold the tool firmly with two hands and
completely depress the barrel. Then squeeze the trigger. Always
hold the tool perpendicular to the work surface. Hold the tool
firmly against the work surface to avoid excessive recoil. Never
depress the tool against anything
except the work surface.
NOTE: In the event that the load does
not discharge after the trigger is pulled,
continue to hold the tool depressed
against the work surface for at least 30 (thirty) seconds in case
of a delayed load discharge. Then carefully remove the load
and dispose of in a can of water or other non flammable
liquid. Never attempt to force or pry a load out of a tool
chamber. Do not discard unfired loads into a trash container.
6. To prepare for the next fastening, point the tool in a safe
direction. Snap the barrel forward as described in step 1. This
action will eject the spent powder load and properly reset the
piston. Always insert a new fastener before loading powder
load in the chamber. Do not attempt to unload or disassemble
a jammed, stuck or broken tool as
improper handling may cause it to
discharge and strike operator and/or
bystander. A jammed tool must be
pointed in a safe direction at all times.
Tag the tool and lock it up. Call your Powers Fasteners
representative for proper assistance.
