line C-2 use portable power tools Flashcards
at what speed does the fastener move in low- velocity
under 100m/s
what component does a low- velocity tool have that is not found in high - velocity tool
piston
name 3 safety features of the low velocity powdered actuated tool
must be within 7 degrees
2 actions needed before it can fire
captive piston
when the powder actuated tool is fired , the piston travels down the barrel to strike the fastener like a hammer , what is the type of propulsion called ?
impact
what is the method of contact propulsion ?
the piston is in contact with the fastener which in turn is in contact with the work surface
what kind of propulsion is it called when the piston and the fastener are not in contact with the work surface
co-acting
what is medium velocity and its speed
when fired , the fastening pin travels 100-150 meters per second
what is low velocity and its speed
a powder actuated tool that contains a captive piston , less than 100meters per second
what is high velocity and its speeds
they have no pistons and the fastening pin is discharged at a higher velocity greater then 150 meters per second …. speeds of 460 meters per second is not unusual
for brass case ( low-velocity) what is the order from strongest to weakest in color and number
grey 1
brown 2
green 3
yellow 4
red 5 ( most common)
purple 6
for nickel case ( high-velocity) what is the weakest to strongest from color and number
grey 7
brown8
green 9
yellow10
red 11
purple 12
What are the 2 different types of cartridges and the way the are fired
crippled and wadded
center fire and rim fire
what are 3 types of fasteners for powder actuated tools
threaded , headed and eyelet
when designing fasteners what are the 3 rules manufactures must follow ?
the piston must match the fastener
the fastener washer guide must fit snuggly in the barrel
the proper cartridge must be used
when selecting fasteners consider the following what ?
the type of material to be penetrated and the amount of penetration required
why would you use additional washers
to prevent shearing of soft material on steel , concrete
what are 3 examples of requirements for fastening to concrete or concrete block
concrete cannot be less then 3’’ (75mm) thick
fastening must be 3’‘(75mm) away from edge of concrete
do not fasten into horizontal or vertical mortar joints of concrete
fastenings should be spaced no closer than 3’’ ( 75mm)
what are 2 situations to avoid when using a powder actuated tool
do not fasten into spalled areas
do not fasten into pre cast concrete beams or slabs containing pre stressed cables
what are 3 things to consider when using a powder actuated tool into steel
-fastners must be at least 13mm(1/2’’) away from edge of steel
- fasteners should be installed at least 25mm(1’’) apart
- steel must be at least 5mm (1/4’’) thick
what are 4 basic types of chainsaws
gasoline powered
electric
battery powered
pneumatic
what are common chainsaw hazards
kickback
chain cuts
noise
vibration
exhaust fumes
chain breaks
what dcbs do chainsaws cut at
90 and 120
what are 3 cutting techniques for chain saws
top cut
under cut
plunge cut
before you start cutting with a chainsaw what should you consider and check for
for cracks
loose bolts
excessive wear
what are common uses of a chainsaw in construction
timber framing
demolition
cutting rough openings
what do chainsaws emit the most
carbon monoxide
name 2 safety devices that help prevent injuries resulting from chain breaks
rear hand guard
chain catcher
what is the only accepted method of starting a chainsaw
with the saw on the ground
what is the easiest and safest cut
top cut
when undercutting the natural tendency of the saw is to
push away from the wood
