GENERAL SAFETY RULES
1.
Do not use P.A.T. tools in explosive or flammable environments.
2. Never leave a P.A.T. tool unattended in a place where it would be
available to unauthorized personnel.
3. A warning sign (8" x 10" with 1" letters min.) must be posted in plain
sight in areas where P.A.T. tools are being used as adjacent areas
where wall, floor, or work surface pentration by the fastener by pose
a hazard. The wording on the sign should be similar to "Powder
Actuated Tools in Use".
4. Operators and co-workers should always wear safety goggles, ear
and head protection when powder actuated tools are in use.
5.
Always maintain good balance when working on ladders, scaffolds,
etc.
6. Never load the tool until ready to make a fastening. When using a
tool that uses multiple booster strips, always insert the fastener into the
tool prior to advancing to a "live" cartridge.
7. Always operate the tool at right angles to the work surface (to
minimize the chance of the fastener deflecting off the work surface).
9. Never carry fasteners or other sharp objects in the same pocket or
apron section with power loads as they may strike the cartridge and
cause it to fire.
10. Only operators who are trained for a specific P.A.T. tool are allowed
to use that P.A.T. tool. The fact that an operator is qualified by another
P.A.T. tool manufacturer does not mean that he is authorized to
operate a UCAN Fastening Products' tool. An operator must be
trained for each tool he uses, even though he may already be trained
for another P.A.T. tool made by the same manufacturer.
