Safety Precautions

7. An operator taking medication should take extra precautions while handling the

tool. NEVER drink alcoholic beverages or take medications which impair your

vision, balance or judgement before using a powder actuated tool.

KNOW YOUR FASTENING BASE MATERIAL

CENTER

PUNCH TEST

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 fastener impression and

the fastener point is not blunted. ALWAYS use test fastenings to determine the

correct power load level and the tool’s power indicator setting (see

Power Loads

and Power Indicator Setting,

page 13). 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.
