Shank Plastic Flute 482-60 7. NEVER use common nails or other materials as fasteners. Remington Power Fasteners are manufactured from special steel and heat treated to produce a very hard yet ductile fastener. 8. NEVER pry a power load out of the tool. Prying can discharge the load causing serious injury (see Troubleshooting Guide , page 16).
The fastener displaces the concrete which tries to return to its original form causing a squeezing effect. 482-63 Maximum holding power is achieved when the depth of pen- etration produces a bond on the power fastener equal to the strength of the concrete.
