				designed to prevent inadvertent actuation.
(b) The tool must be designed to prevent
				actuation when dropped in any attitude from a height of 3 meters (10 ft) onto a
				smooth, hard surface such as concrete or steel, if such actuation can propel a
				fastener or any part thereof in free flight.
(c) Actuation of the tool must be dependent
				upon at least two separate and distinct operations by the operator, with at
				least one operation being separate from the operation of holding the tool
				against the work surface.
(d) The
				tool must be designed not to be operable other than against a work surface with
				a force on the work surface equal to 22 newtons (5 lb) greater than the weight
				of the tool or a minimum impact energy of 4 joules (3 ft-lb).
(e) All tools must be designed so that
				compatible protective shields or fixtures, designed, built, and supplied by the
				manufacturer of the tool, can be used (see WAC
				296-155-36307(2)(b), (3)(b),
				(4)(b) and
				296-155-36313(8)
				).

				that a determin-able means of varying the power levels is available for
				selecting a power level adequate to perform the desired work (see WAC
				296-155-36309(5)
				).
(g) The tool must be designed so
				that all principal functional parts can be checked for foreign matter that may
				affect operation.
(h) The tool must
				be designed so that all parts will be of adequate strength to resist maximum
				stresses imposed upon actuation when the tool is used in accordance with the
				manufacturer's instructions and is powered by any commercially available power
				load which will properly chamber in the tool.
(i) Each tool must bear a legible permanent
				model designation, which must serve as a means of identification. Each tool
				must also bear a legible, permanent manufacturer's unique serial
				number.
(j) You must provide a
				lockable container for each tool. The words "POWDER ACTUATED TOOL" must appear
				in plain sight on the outside of the container. The following notice must be
				attached on the inside cover of the container:
"WARNING - POWDER ACTUATED TOOL. TO BE USED ONLY BY
A QUALIFIED OPERATOR AND KEPT UNDER LOCK AND KEY
WHEN NOT IN USE."
(k) Each tool must bear a durable warning
				label with the following statement, or the equivalent:
"WARNING - FOR USE ONLY BY QUALIFIED OPERATORS ACCORDING TO
				  MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTION MANUAL."
(l) Each tool must be supplied with the
				following:
(i) Operator's instruction and
				service manual.
(ii) Power load
				chart.
(iii) Tool inspection
				record.
(iv) Service tools and
				accessories.

				determining tool test velocities, you must measure the velocity of the fastener
				in free flight at a distance of two meters (6-1/2 ft) from the muzzle end of
				the tool, using accepted ballistic test methods.

Identification of caseless power
				loads.
Caseless power loads must be coded to identify power load levels
				by power load color as specified in Table G-1 and by configuration.
(3)
Power load use limitation.
No power load (cased or caseless) must be used if it will properly chamber in
				any existing commercially available tool and will cause a fastener to have a
				test velocity in excess of the maximum test velocities specified for the said
				tool.
(4)
Identification of
				power load packages.
Power load packages must provide a visual
				number-color indication of the power level of the power load as specified in
