explosive powered tools


Today i learned more about Explosive Powered Tools. first we went through a booklet called explosive powered tools which went through the different tpyes of fasteners, charges, laws for using them in australia and the difference between direct and in-direct acting guns.
We went outside and learned the right way to fire them then we all fired a shot into a piece of steel. Before you fire them you must give everyone a verbal warning"firing" and make sure everyone is at least 6 metres back. Before using them on site you must have a sign like the one shown here, and you must also have a licence to fire a direct-acting gun in every other state except WA.
