Selecting Power Fasteners

and Powder Loads

FASTENING INTO CONCRETE

The proper power fastener length can be determined

by adding the thickness of the material to be fastened and

the amount of fastener that will actually penetrate the

concrete. The concrete must be three times as thick as the

intended fastener penetration. In most cases, penetration

should be approximately 1" to 1 1/4" into the base concrete

material.

FASTENING INTO STEEL

The proper fastener length can be determined by

adding the thickness of the material to be fastened and the

thickness of the steel. The point of the power fastener

must go completely through the steel.

Flush With Surface

POWDER LOADS

Always start with the lowest power level (gray-level

1). If the first test fastener does not penetrate to the

desired depth, move to the next highest power level

(brown-level 2). Increase until a proper fastening is made.

IMPORTANT: Damage to the tool will result if the above

instructions are not followed (see illustrations to right and

lower right).

Piston Extended

Out of Muzzle

OVERDRIVEN POWER FASTENERS

AND PISTON

An overdriven power fastener results when too

strong of a powder load is used causing the piston to

extend past the muzzle. Move to the next lightest powder

load. Repeated overdrive will damage your tool. By avoid-

ing overdrive, you can extend the life of your tool consid-

erably and avoid costly repairs.

NOTE: NEVER fire the tool without a power fastener. This

can damage the tool and/or cause possible injury to the

operator.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use power fasteners longer than

2 1/2". Fasteners longer than 2 1/2" will cause load

ejection problems.
