THE “NO’S” OF P.A.T. FASTENING
GUIDELINES FOR SAFE FASTENING
1.
Never
Hold the tool at an acute angle to the work surface. The tool
must be perpendicular to the work surface making certain that
NO debris is present on the surface.
2.
Never
set a fastener too close to another installed fastener
as this can cause a ricochet.
3.
Never
fasten less than 3" from the edge of unsupported concrete
or masonry, or less than
½
" from the edge of steel except for speciic
applications recommended by the tool manufacturer.
4.
Never
fasten into rough, spalled, cracked or uneven concrete.
Fasten at least 3" from the outer edge of a spalled area.
5.
Never
fasten into material which is too hard, such as hardened steel,
welds, cast steel, marble, spring steel, natural rock, etc. This could
cause the fastener to shatter and escape and result in serious injury
or death.
6.
Never
fasten into material which is too brittle, such as glass, glazed
brick, glazed tile, slate, etc. This could cause the material to shatter
and result in serious injury or death.
7.
Never
fasten into material which is too soft, such as wood, plaster,
drywall composition board, plywood, etc. This could cause the
fastener to pass through and escape resulting in serious injury
or death.
8.
Never
fasten through an existing hole in any material as the fastener
could hit the edge of the hole and ricochet.
9.
Never
leave the chamber loaded. If you decide not to make a
fastening after having loaded the tool, remove both the powder load
and fastener from the tool before returning it to its case.
10.
Never
place your hand or any part of your body over the muzzle,
or point the tool toward any person when the tool is chambered
with a load.
BEFORE CHAMBERING A POWDER LOAD
PREPARE FOR LOADING
1.
Always
open the tool and inspect it to be certain it is unloaded.
2.
Always
check to be sure that the tool is clean. Excessive dirt or debris
can cause accidental iring or misiring of the tool.
3.
Never
load or ire the tool in an explosive atmosphere or when
lammables are nearby.
4.
Never
use improper powder loads or fasteners in the tool, as this may
be unsafe or damage the tool.
5.
Always
insert the fastener irst, and the load last. Make sure you never
double load the fasteners.
6.
Never
allow bystanders to gather around you when using the tool.
7.
Never guess
- before fastening into any unknown base material, particularly
into walls, perform the center punch test described in this manual.
8.
Never guess
- once you determine that the base material is suitable,
make a test fastening with the lowest level powder load. If that powder
load does not set the fastener, try the next highest load, and so on until
the fastener is properly set.
