PA3500
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the DEWALT PA3500 low velocity powder actuated tool. This
tool will provide you with excellent performance provided the steps for proper operation
and maintenance are followed. Powder actuated fastening systems can provide a
cost effective method of attaching fixtures for light duty, static load conditions. The
systems provided by DEWALT consist of specially designed fasteners, installation tools,
and powder loads, which are designed to function in combination to provide optimum
performance. While powder actuated tools can provide one of the fastest
and economical means of fastening, they can also be dangerous if they are not
operated properly.
Prior to operating the PA3500 tool, you must be properly trained in the operation
and maintenance of this tool and be issued a DEWALT Qualified Operator Card. When
using the tool, you must have this card in your possession. As part of the training
process, you should read and understand the contents of this instruction manual
especially the safety precautions.
Powder actuated tools may be operated only by properly trained operators as
described in ANSI Standard A 10.3, Safety Requirements for Powder Actuated
Fastening Systems. For complete tool operation details, contact your local DEWALT
Branch office or distributor for training.
Remember, safety begins with you! It is your primary responsibility when operating
this tool. Failure to follow the proper operating, maintenance, and safety procedures
can result in serious injury or death to yourself or bystanders. In addition to the training
provided, you should be familiar with any local, state, and federal regulations. If you

Branch office or distributor.
