FASTENING METAL DECK TO THE STEEL STRUCTURE
INSTALLING THE DECKING NAIL
Mark the deck
Marking the deck is import-
ant to fasten on the joist
or beam because you cant
see the joist or beam when
fastening the deck.
Load the cartridge
Align tool with the
deck marking
Align the tool with the
marking prior to fastening.
Piston jam is a reported
problem by our customers.
In most cases is due to
missing the joist or beam
and gaps between the
sheets or structural beams
while making the fastening.
Missing the joist and beam
at the time of fastening can
reduce the lifetime of the
Piston and Piston Brake/
Stop. Hence, it is important
to mark the deck and align
the tool with the mark while
fastening.
Load the nail
It is a good practice to
always keep the Nail
Magazine full. This redu-
ces damage to the Piston
Brake/Stop and subsequent
damage to the Nail Detec-
tion Mechanism
Tip: For DX 76-MX/PTR
load 1 nail strip first and
then always load nails when
cartridge strip runs out.
Check cartridge strip
is flush
This step prevents missing
the first cartridge on the
strip.
Compress the tool and
pull the trigger
