2" of a weld, within 1/2" of the edge, or within 1" of another power fastener. G 018 489-29 When fastening into masonry walls, always drive into horizontal mortar joints, NEVER into vertical mortar joints. BE CAREFUL. A poorly laid joint may permit too much penetration and/or unsatisfactory holding power. - Page 9 Safety Precautions 489- WATER 489-33 Should the tool fail to fire, hold the muzzle firmly against the work surface for 30 seconds. Release the trigger and remove pressure on the tool while holding the muzzle against the work surface. Again press the tool firmly against the work surface and pull the trigger.
- Page 10 482-31 482-54 Remington Powder Loads are available in four power levels with gray (1) being the lowest power level and yellow (4) being the highest power level.

Page 12: Why A Fastener Holds
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 482-64... -
Page 13: Selecting Fasteners And Powder Loads
Selecting Power Fasteners and Powder 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. -
