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 eye 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.
