SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2.
Never
carry fasteners or other hard
objects in the same pocket or container
with powder loads. The loads could be set
off, causing serious injury or death.
3. A person that is color blind must be extra
careful when loading the tool. One must
only take a load from a box that is identi-
fied by powder load number.
Never
use
loose loads that can be misidentified.
4. Powder loads must never be used in fire-
arms. They are more powerful than the
charges normally used in small firearms.
This could result in serious injury or death.
1. A powder actuated fastener, after it has
been installed, is considered a permanent
fastening. Do not attempt to pull a fastener
out of concrete or steel. Attempting to do
so may result in serious injury.
1. If the tool fails to fire, hold the tool firmly against
the material for 30 seconds. Remove the tool
from the work surface, open the barrel to reset
the piston. Re-chamber the load and repeat
firing sequence. If the tool fails to fire again,
hold for 30 seconds, unload the tool, and then
discard the load into a bucket of water.
Never
attempt to pry an unfired load out of the tool.
