INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the DEWALT P3500 low velocity powder actuated tool. This
tool will provide you with excellent performance provided the steps for proper operation
and maintenance are followed. Powder actuated fastening systems can provide a cost
effective method of attaching fixtures for light duty, static load conditions. The systems
provided by DEWALT consist of specially designed fasteners, installation tools, and powder
loads, which are designed to function in combination to provide optimum performance.
While powder actuated tools can provide one of the fastest and economical means of
fastening, they can also be dangerous if they are not operated properly.
Prior to operating the P3500 tool, you must be properly trained in the operation and
maintenance of this tool and be issued a DEWALT Qualified Operator Card. When using
the tool, you must have this card in your possession. As part of the training process,

safety precautions.
Powder actuated tools may be operated only by properly trained operators as
described in ANSI Standard A 10.3, Safety Requirements for Powder Actuated
Fastening Systems. For complete tool operation details, contact your local DEWALT
Branch office or distributor for training.
Remember, safety begins with you! It is your primary responsibility when operating

can result in serious injury or death to yourself or bystanders. In addition to the training
