HANDLING THE TOOL AND POWDER LOADS
1. Never leave a loaded tool unattended. Once the tool is loaded, make the fastening immediately or
unload the tool.
2. Always unload the tool before work breaks, changing parts, cleaning or servicing, and when storing.
3. To prevent accidental discharge of loads, never carry the powder loads in the same container as the
fasteners or other hard objects.
4. Always store the powder loads in the containers provided or in an enclosure provided for them. Never
intermix the various power levels. Keep them segregated in clearly identified containers.
5. NEVER use powder loads in firearms. Serious injury or death can occur.
6. Powder actuated tools and powder loads should always be stored under lock and key. Tools must be
unloaded when not in use.
TOOL MALFUNCTION
1. In the event that a load fails to discharge after the trigger is pulled, the tool must be kept depressed
against the work surface for a minimum of 30 (thirty) seconds in case of a delayed load discharge. Then
carefully remove the entire load strip and store it in a can of water or other nonflammable liquid and
dispose in accordance with local jurisdiction and safety data sheet (SDS). Never attempt to force or pry a
load out of a tool chamber.
2. Never discard powder loads into a trash container or fire bin.
3. Do not attempt to unload or disassemble a jammed, stuck or broken tool as improper handling may
cause it to discharge and strike operator and/or bystander. A jammed tool must be pointed in a safe
direction at all times. Tag the tool and lock it up. Call your DEWALT representative for proper assistance.
