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.

POWER 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 power load
is used causing the piston to extend past the muzzle. Move to the next
lightest power load. Repeated overdrive will damage your tool. By
avoiding overdrive, you can extend the life of your tool considerably
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.

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.
