Why a Power Fastener Holds WHY A POWER FASTENER HOLDS IN CONCRETE The compression bond of the con- crete to the power fastener accounts for the majority of the holding power. The fastener displaces the concrete which tries to return to its original form causing a squeezing effect. Maximum holding power is 482-63 achieved when the depth of pen- etration produces a bond on the power fastener equal to the strength of the concrete. As a general rule, penetration should be 1 approximately 1" to 1 / "

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 fas- tened and the amount of fastener that will actually penetrate the con- crete. The concrete must be three 482-80 times as thick as the intended fas- Wood or Non-Metals tener penetration. In most cases, To Concrete penetration should be approxi- 1 mately 1" to 1 / " into the base 4 concrete material. FASTENING INTO STEEL The prope

Operation 48 489-3 1. Grasp muzzle and slide barrel forward rapidly until it stops. This sets piston into firing position and opens the chamber. 482-69 482-70 2. Insert power fastener into muzzle of tool, head end first. Push the fastener until point is even with end of tool. ALWAYS load the fastener first, then the powder load. 482-72 482-71 NOTE: Failure to start with the lowest power level can result in overdrive condition and will re- sult in damage to tool (see page 13). ® 3.

Operation 90˚ 489-40 5. Place the muzzle of tool perpendicular to work surface without tilting the tool. Push tool against work surface until sliding action of barrel stops. 489-41 6. Squeeze trigger to set power fastener. Be sure to keep pressure on tool during this operation. 489 7. After fastening is made, slide barrel forward rapidly. This motion ejects the spent powder load and resets the piston for the next fastening. Make sure spent load has ejected from tool. 30 WATER 489- 489-33 8. Shou
