Why A Power Fastener Holds WHY A POWER FASTENER HOLDS IN CONCRETE The compression bond of the concrete 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 achieved when the depth of penetration produces a bond on the power fastener equal to the strength of the concrete. As a general rule, pene- 1 tration should be approximately 1" to 1 /4" into the

Selecting Power Fasteners and Power 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, pen- 1 etration should be approximately 1" to 1 / " into the base 4 Wood or Non-Metals concrete material. To Concrete FASTENING INTO STEEL The proper fastener len

Operation 1. Grasp barrel assembly and slide forward rapidly until it stops. Push barrel assembly back into tool to the closed position. This sets piston into firing position. 2. Insert power fastener into muzzle of tool, head end first. Push the fastener until point is even with end of muzzle. NOTE: Failure to start with the proper power level and power set- ting can result in over- drive condition and will result in damage to tool (See page 13). 3.

Operation 5. Squeeze trigger to set power fastener. Be sure to keep pressure on tool during this operation. 6. Grasp muzzle cap and slide barrel forward rapidly until it stops. Push barrel assembly back into tool to the closed position. This advances the power load strip and resets the piston for the next fastening. WARNING: Do not depress barrel assembly past the closed position when loading new power fastener. Live power load is in firing position. WATER 7. Should the tool fail to fire, hold
