11.1 - Cartridge tools

Fixing of decking and edge trim is typically carried out using low velocity powder (shot-firing) or gas-actuated cartridge tools. These provide a fast and efficient method of securing the decking sheets. The tools used are generally Hilti DX450 or DX76 (shot-firing), GX 3 (gas-actuated) or similar approved. All operators must be fully trained and competent to use these tools and at least 18 years of age.
