Preparation

Acceptable Base Materials

Powder actuated fastening is suitable for 
use in the following base materials only:

•  Poured Concrete
•  Structural Steel
•  Masonry Joints (see page 8)

Never attempt to fasten into any other 
type of material. 

Fastening into other 

materials can cause blindness or other 
serious injury.

Unacceptable Base Materials

Never attempt to fasten into very hard or 
brittle materials such as cast iron, tile, 
glass, or rock of any type. 

These materials  

can shatter, causing the fastener and/or base  
material fragments to fly free and cause 
serious injury to the tool operator and others.

Never fasten into soft base materials, such as 
drywall or lumber products. 

These materials 

may allow the fastener to travel completely 
through and out the other side, endangering 
those in the path of the fastener.

Never fasten into any base material that 
does not pass the Center Punch test. 

Failure to assure the suitability of the base 
material can result in serious injury to the 
eyes or other body parts.

Center Punch Test

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES 
WHEN PERFORMING THIS TEST.

1.  Always check the material being  

fastened into for hardness before 
attempting any fastening operation.

2.  Using a fastener as a center punch, 

strike the fastener against the work 
surface using an average hammer 
blow and check the results.

Center Punch Test Results

1.  If the fastener point is flattened,  

the material is too hard for a  
powder actuated fastening.

2.  If the fastener penetrates the  

material easily, the material is  
too soft.

3.    If the material cracks or shatters,  

the material is too brittle.

4.  If the fastener makes a small  

indentation into the material, the 
material is suitable for fastening.

Preparación

Materiales base aceptables

La fijación por medio de herramientas 

activadas con pólvora es solamente  

adecuada para usarse en los siguientes 

materiales base: 

• Concreto

 vertido

 

• Acero

 estructural

 

• Uniones

 de

 mampostería

 (vea

 la

 página

 8)

 

Nunca intente realizar las fijaciones en 

otro tipo de material. 

La fijación en otros 

materiales puede ocasionar ceguera u 

otras lesiones graves.

Materiales base inaceptables

Nunca intente realizar las fijaciones en 

materiales muy

 duros

 o

 frágiles

 tales

 

como hierro

 fundido,

 cerámica,

 vidrio,

 o

 

piedra de cualquier tipo. 

Estos materiales 

se pueden hacer pedazos, haciendo que  

los fragmentos del material base o del  

elemento de fijación salten y ocasionen 

lesiones graves al operador de la  

herramienta y a terceros.

Nunca fije los elementos sobre materiales 

base blandos, tales como paredes de yeso 

o productos de madera. 

Estos materiales  

pueden permitir que el elemento de fijación   

los atraviese completamente y salga por 

el otro lado, poniendo en peligro a aquellos

 

que se encuentren en el paso del elemento 

de fijación disparado.

Nunca realice las fijaciones en un material 

base que no pase la prueba de Punzón 

de Marcar.

 El no comprobar la idoneidad 

del material base puede ocasionar lesiones 

graves a los ojos y a otras partes del cuerpo.

Prueba de Punzón de Marcar

USE SIEMPRE GAFAS DE SEGURIDAD 

CUANDO REALICE ESTA PRUEBA.

1.  Compruebe siempre la dureza del 

material que se va a fijar antes de 

intentar realizar la operación de 

fijación.

2.  Utilizando un elemento de fijación como

 

punzón de marcar, golpee el elemento 

contra la superficie de trabajo dando 

un golpe normal de martillo y vea los 

resultados.

 

Resultados de la prueba 

de Punzón de Marcar

1.  Si la punta del elemento de fijación 

 

se aplasta, significa que el material 

es demasiado duro para fijar por  

este medio.

2.  

Si el elemento de fijación penetra  

muy

 fácilmente

 en

 el

 material

 base,

 

significa que éste es demasiado 

blando.

3.  Si el material se quiebra o se fragmenta,

 

significa que

 es

 demasiado

 frágil.

4.  Si el elemento de fijación hace u

na 

pequeña marca en el material, significa 

que el material es adecuado para 

realizar la operación de fijación.
