INTRODUCTION

The BP301 is an economically designed tool that produces high productivity and dependable performance.

This semi-automatic tool makes it easy to operate and allows for fast maintenance making it easy to repair in

minutes. BP301 handles all .300”and 8mm head diameter drive pins from 1/2” to 3” shank lengths and 1/4”

threaded studs.

PREPERATION

Base materials acceptable to shoot:

Powder-actuated fastening is suitable for use in the

following base material only:

-Poured concrete

-Structural Steel

-Masonry Joints

Never attempt to fasten into any other type of

material. Fastening into other types of materials

can cause serious injury.

Unacceptable Base materials that should

not be fastened to:

Never attempt to fasten into very hard or brittle

materials such as cast iron, tile, glass or rocks of

any kind. These materials can shatter, break,

causing the base material and fragments to pop up

or fly freely and cause serious injury to the tool

operator and others around the operator.

Never attach directly to a base where it can easily

penetrate like wood or gypsum board. These types

of materials may cause the fasteners to skip

through to the other side making it dangerous for

other people who are around.

Never fasten into a base material that fails the

center punch test. Failure to check the suitability of

the base material can cause serious injury to the

eyes or other body parts.

Center Punch Test

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN

PERFORMING THIS TEST.

1. Always check the hardness of the base

where you are to fasten.

2. Using a fastener as a center punch, strike

the fastener against the work surface with a

regular hammer and check the results.

BP301 www.bpfasteners.com Page 4

CENTER PUNCH TEST RESULT

1. If the fastener point is flattened, the material is too

hard for a powder actuated fastening.

2. If the fastener easily penetrates the material, the

material is too soft.

3. If the material cracks or shatters, the material is

too fragile.

4. If the fastener causes a small indentation into the

material, the material is suitable for powder

actuated fastening.

SELECTION OF LOADS AND SAFETY

1. Always make a fastening test after being sure that

the base material is suitable for powder actuated

fasteners. Failing to determine the appropriate

power level to be used may result in the use of

excessive power, allowing the fastener to pass

completely through the work material, causing

severe injury or death to others who maybe in the

path of the fastener.

2. All operators must always select the level of the

loads by the power level to avoid the use of

incorrect loading for the same reason as that of #1.

SAFETY AT WORK

1. Operators and by standers must always wear safety

glasses and approved hearing protection. Failure to

do so can result in blindness or serious eye injury

from debris and hearing loss for unprotected

exposure to constant or repeated noise from the

fastening tool.

2. Keep the work area clear of by standers and

unnecessary materials that may interfere with the

safe operation of the tool. Operating the tool in a

congested or disorderly area may affect the ability

to operate safely.

3. Never operate the tool when flammable or

explosive materials are nearby. Powder loads burn

and create sparks when fired and could ignite these

materials or vapors.

4. Always provide warning signs within 50' of the area

where fastening is taken place. Sign should state:

"Caution powder actuated tool in use." Failure to

warn others can result in serious injury or death to

them. Contact your supervisor for this sign.

SAFE HANDLING OF TOOLS

1. Always make sure that the tool is working

properly before attempting to use. Follow daily

check function, see the example below and

described instructions in the maintenance

section.

2. Always use loads directly selected from a box

indicating the type of load power and number.

Never attempt to use a load that is loose or out of

its box (must be from a box).

3. Never transport loads in pockets with loose pins

or other hard objects. Doing so may cause the

loads to fire.

4. Never load a tool unless you intend to use

immediately to insure of it being used. Loading a

tool and not using it in the work place may result

in the tool accidentally being discharged by

others.

5. Never place your hands or any other body part on

the loading end of the tool. It can cause serious

injury by the fastener or piston must the tool be

fired accidentally.

6. Always store the tool unloaded and keep the tool

and loads safely locked in a tool box. Keep keys

away from children and unauthorized/ unlicensed

persons.

7. Always keep the tool pointed away from yourself

and others.

8. Never carry a loaded tool around the work area.

9. Never play with the tool.

10. Using tools in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning

tools or handling charges may result in exposure

to lead and other substances known to cause

birth defects and physical damage. Have

adequate ventilation at all times and wash

thoroughly after exposure.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN INJURY TO

THE TOOL OPERATOR OR BYSTANDERS

FASTENER DRIVING SAFETY

1. Only use the tool for fastening into a

suitable base material.

2. Do not fire the tool without a fastener. The

shooting of an instrument without a

fastener can cause the piston to strike the

work surface, and can cause serious injury

to you and others in the work area.

3. Always use spall guard protection whenever

possible to minimize the flying particles or

debris.

4. Always hold the tool perpendicular to and

firmly against the work surface. Otherwise, it

could allow a fastener to ricochet which

could cause serious injury or death to

operator or bystanders.

5. Never attempt to drive a fastener close to

an edge or other fastener. See the

installation page.

ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MISFIRE

PROCEDURES

If the tool does not fire after pulling the

trigger, continue to hold the tool against

the work surface for at least 30 seconds.

Then carefully open the tool, remove the

load and put in a can of water or other non-

flammable liquid. Never discard loads into a

BP301 www.bpfasteners.com Page 9

dumpster.

If the tool becomes stuck or jammed with a

powder charge, keep the tool pointed in a

safe direction and immediately labeled

"Danger do not use defective". Lock the tool

in a box and contact your local dealer for

assistance from Blue Point.

APPLICATIONS OF FASTENERS

BP301 tool can be used for a wide range of

fastening needs in a variety of base

materials. Read and follow these important

instructions for fastening guidelines will

help you get the best results from your tool,

fasteners and powder loads and as well as

helping to do these operations safely and

effectively.

Powder actuated fastening are permanent

solutions to try to remove a bra concrete or

steel can result in serious injury.

FASTENING TO CONCRETE

For fastening in concrete, keep a minimum

distance of 3" between fastening and 3"of

any free edge. Concrete thickness should be

at least three times the expected depth of

penetration into the concrete. The primary

exception to the 3” edge distance can occur

in an application where lower sill, of

necessity, reduces the edge.

Fastening wood to concrete

Penetration of thin gauge metal

Fasteners driven in concrete too close to an

edge can cause the concrete edge to fail or

fasteners to fly free or concrete can crack if

driven too close together.

FASTENING TO CONCRETE BLOCKS

OR MASONARY WALLS

Although this application is not

recommended, when used, care must be

taken to observe a 3” edge distance to

avoid cracking the block and superior

penetration of the fastener to avoid a loss

in the holding value. Fastening can be done

in horizontal joints, but not in the vertical

joints.

BP301 www.bpfasteners.com Page 10

FASTENING TO STEEL

BP35 tool can be used for fastening on the

flat surfaces of structural steel. For steel

fastening, always maintain a minimum of 1-

1/2 "between the fasteners and 1/2" from

any edge.

Operating Instructions

DAILY FUNCTION TEST

Always check the tool first to ensure that it

does not contains a strip or fastener. Try

the tool repeatedly pressing the muzzle

bushing completely on a hard surface and

pull the trigger. You should hear an audible

clicking sound while pulling on the trigger.

Let up on the tool and make sure the barrel

is open to semi-open position.

OPERATING THE BP301 TOOL

1. After checking to make sure that the tool is

not loaded, point it in a safe direction and

make sure the barrel is fully extended and

close the tool to the semi-closed position.

This ensures that the piston is in position

for the next fastening operation. Use the

spall guard whenever possible to minimize

the risk of being struck by flying debris.

2. With your finger off the trigger, place the

fastener, point out, into the end of the

fastener guide until the end is inside the

fastener guide completely. STOP

immediately if excessive force is required;

inspect the barrel to find out why the

fastener is not entering the fastener guide

easily. Do not continue to use the tool

unless the problem is corrected. DO NOT

use excessive force when inserting a

fastener. NEVER load a fastener with your

finger on the trigger.

3. With the tool pointed in a safe direction

and your finger off the trigger, insert the

strip in the tool through the bottom of the

handle. Make sure the load is inserted

correctly.

4. After shooting pull the fastener guide out

on the tool and push it back in, this will

allow the strip to advance.
