Only the following materials are suitable
for Powder-actuated fastening:
Structural Steel
Masonry Joints
Poured Concrete
DO NOT try to fasten into any other
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
splinters to fly and may cause serious
injury to the tool operator and the
bystanders.
PREPARATION
BP-27Cis a semi-automatic feeding low velocity powder-actuated fastening
tool. Continuous feeding of powder loads for a wide range of applications,
make the BP-27C tool a versatile, portable, safe and reliable tool.
INTRODUCTION
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 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 attach directly to a base
where it can easily penetrate like
wood or gypsum board.
08
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 disorderly 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 loading.
Safety at Work
3. Never operate the tool when
explosive or inflammable
materials are close by.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.
Powder actuated
tool in use
09

BP-27C tool can be used for a wide
range of fastening applications on a
variety of substrate 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 and
excess penetration of fastener to avoid a
loss in holding value. Fastening is not
recommended for vertical 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 transfer to
fly free.
APPLICATIONS OF FASTENERS
Fastening wood to concrete.
Penetration of thin gauge metal.
Fastening to Steel
BP-27Ctool 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.
11
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN INJURY TO
THE TOOL OPERATOR OR BYSTANDERS
10
5. Never drive a fastener close to
the edge of the base material
or close to another fastener.
See installation page.
MISFIRE PROCEDURE
If the tool does not fire, 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.
ALWAYS FOLLOW THE
MISFIRE PROCEDURE.
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 Spall Guard protection
whenever possible to minimize the
flying particles or debris.
4. 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.
BP-27C IS NOT A STAND-ALONE TOOL.
IT MUST ALWAYS BE USED MOUNTED ON A BLUE POINT POLE.

NOTE: Use of partially used
load strips.
If you want to use a partially fired load
strip, the end of the strip containing
the live loads should be placed into
the bottom of the tool handle. Count
the number of unfired loads in the
strip before inserting it and keep a
count as the fastenings are being
made, you can easily determine when
all the loads have been used.
13
6. Check the tool frequently to ensure
that the muzzle bushing and loads
strip track are clear, if you are
working at a site with dirt and
debris.
CHECK THE NOSEPIECE BUSHING
AND LOAD STRIP TRACK FOR
DEBRIS
IF YOU DECIDE NOT TO MAKE A
FASTENING AFTER THE TOOL HAS
BEEN LOADED, ALWAYS REMOVE
THE POWDER LOADS FIRST, THEN
THE FASTENER. THIS WILL PREVENT
ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGING OF THE
FASTENER OR PISTON INTO THE
OPERATION HAND.
Please watch the videos on our website: http://bpfasteners.com/licensing/video
5. After all 10 shots are fired, pull the
load strip from the TOP of the tool.
NEVER PULL IT FROM THE
BOTTOM.
4. After one shot is fired, point it in a
safe direction and insert the next
fastener into the Nosepiece, and
then press the Advance Lever
Assembly of the housing to
advance the next load, and repeat
the firing operation.
