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.

been loaded, you must always remove the powder load
first followed by the fastener.

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.
