type of materials. It can cause serious

injury or blindness.

Unsuitable Base materials that should

not be fastened to:

Never try to fasten into very hard or

brittle materials such as tile, glass, cast

iron or rocks of any kind. These

materials can break or shatter causing

spall and may cause serious injury to the

tool operator and the bystanders.

PREPARATION

BP361 is a semi-automatic feeding low velocity powder-actuated fastening

tool. Continuous feeding of powder loads and pins for a wide range of

applications, make the BP361 tool a versatile, portable, safe and reliable tool.

INTRODUCTION

Never fasten directly to a base

material easily penetrated like

wood or gypsum board. These

types of materials may cause the

fasteners to penetrate through to the

other side making it dangerous for

other people in the work area.

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.

Never try to fasten into very hard

or brittle materials.

Never fasten directly to a base

material easily penetrated like

wood or gypsum board.

Center Punch Test

MUST WEAR EYE

PROTECTION WHILE

PERFORMING THIS TEST.

1. Always check the hardness of the

base where you want to fasten.

2. Using a fastener as a center punch,

strike the fastener with a hammer

against the work surface and check

the results.

1. Operators and bystanders must always

wear approved ear and eye protection.

Failure to do so can cause blindness or

serious eye injury from debris, and

hearing loss from exposure to constant

or repeated noise from the fastening

tool.

2. Keep the work area clear of

unnecessary materials and bystanders

that may interfere with the safe

operation of the tool. Operating tool in

a congested or disorganized area may

affect the ability to operate safely.

Center Punch Test Result

1. The material is too hard for a powder

actuated fastening, if the fastener point

is flattened.

2. The material is too soft, if the fastener

easily penetrates it.

3. The material is too fragile, if the

material cracks or shatters.

4. The material is suitable for powder

actuated fastening, if the fastener

causes a small indentation in the

material.

Selection of Loads and Safety

1. Always make a fastening test after

ensuring that the base material is

suitable to determine the appropriate

power level. If excessive power is used,

the fastener may pass completely

through the work material, causing

death or severe injury to someone who

may be in the path of the fastener.

2. All operators must always select the

level of the loads by the power level

number to avoid the use of incorrect

Safety at Work

3. Never operate the tool when explosive

or inflammable materials are close.

Powder loads may create sparks when

fired and could ignite these materials or

vapors.

4. Always provide warnings within 50’ of

the area where fastening is taking

place: “ 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.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE

INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN INJURY TO

THE TOOL OPERATOR OR BYSTANDERS

BP361 tool can be used for a wide

range of fastening needs on a variety of

base materials.

For best results, read and follow these

important instructions for fastening.

These guidelines will help you perform

the fastening operation most effectively

and safely. Powder actuated fastenings

are permanent solutions. Any attempt

to remove them may cause serious

injury.

This application is not recommended,

but if at all used, keep at least 3” edge

distance to avoid cracking the block or

excess penetration of fastener to avoid a

loss of holding value. Fastening is not

recommended on vertical masonry joint.

Fastening on Concrete

For fastening in concrete, keep a

minimum distance of 3” between

fastenings and 3” of any free edge.

Concrete thickness should be at least

three times the expected depth of

penetration into concrete. The drive pin’s

ideal penetration is 1”.

Fastening to Concrete Block or

Masonry Walls

Concrete Fasteners driven too close to

an edge or too close together can cause

the concrete edge to fail or to fly free.

FASTENER DRIVING SAFETY

1. Use this tool ONLY to fasten into a

recommended base material.

2. DO NOT fire the tool without a

fastener. If the tool is fired without

a fastener, the piston can hit the

work surface causing serious injury

to you and bystanders.

3. Always use the tool firmly and

perpendicular to the work

surface and keep your hand

flexed before firing. Otherwise

the fastener may ricochet

causing injury.

4. Never drive a fastener close to

the edge of the base material.

See installation page.

MISFIRE PROCEDURE

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 it in a can of

water or other non-flammable liquid.

Never discard the load into a dumpster.

If the tool becomes stuck or jammed

with a powder charge, point the tool in

a safe direction and label it

immediately with “DANGER – DO NOT

USE – DEFECTIVE”. Lock the tool in a box

and contact your local dealer for

assistance from BLUEPOINT.
