7.
Never
fasten into structural steel base
material thinner than 3/16". Never fasten
into concrete base material thinner than 3
times shank penetration. Always maintain
minimum penetration requirements.
8. Fastening into block and masonry is not
recommended. When it is necessary to fas-
ten into masonry walls, it is recommended
that fasteners be driven into the horizontal
joints only. Published holding values for
these materials is not available due to the
inconsistency of the materials.
9.
Never
fasten through or into a hole. Always
maintain at least 1/2" distance from any
pre-drilled or pre-punched hole.
10. Should you decide not to make a fastening
after the tool has been loaded, always
remove the powder load first, then the
fastener.
Never
attempt to pry an unfired load
out of the tool. Call The Technical Department
at 1-877-ITW-BRANDS (1-877-489-2726) for
assistance.
1.
Never
leave a loaded tool unattended.
Someone may pick it up, not know it is
loaded and accidentally discharge the tool
causing serious injury or death.
Never
load
the tool until you are prepared to complete
the fastening.
Always
store loads and tool,
unloaded, under lock and key.
