7. An operator taking medi-

cation should take extra

precautions while handling

the tool. NEVER drink al-

coholic beverages or take

medications which impair

your vision, balance, or

judgement before using a

powder actuated tool.

KNOW YOUR FASTENING BASE MATERIAL

1. ALWAYS know the thickness and type of base material

into which you are fastening. NEVER GUESS. Test the

base material by using the Center Punch Test. The Center

Punch Test is performed by using a hammer to test drive

the particular power fastener to be used into the material.

If the point penetrates easily, the material is too soft. If the

point becomes blunt, the material is too hard. If the material

fractures, cracks or shatters, the material is too brittle. Test

fastenings can be made if the material shows a clear power

fastener impression and the power fastener point is not

blunted. ALWAYS start with the lowest power load (Gray-

Level 1) and proceeding with the order shown in the lower

right-hand ﬁgure above. Operators and bystanders must

ALWAYS wear goggles and ear protection which meet or

exceed the accepted standards for adequate protection

in your country. In the USA, refer to ANSI standards. In

Canada, refer to CSA standards.
