| Abstract |
This decree stipulates that use may be made of only those powder-actuated tools that have undergone type testing and have been certified. Before the manufacture, import or display for sale in Finland of this type of equipment, application for certification should be made to the Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health so that the tool can be tested. This test is to be repeated within 12 months of first use or, under certain conditions, earlier. Equipment in use should be cleaned daily, lubricated regularly and kept with the cartridges under lock and key. Explosive powdered tools may be used only by persons over 18 years of age who have received adequate instruction and training. Head, eye and hearing protection should be worn when using these tools. |
