Safety of personnel is essential for us. Inferior quality cartridges can burn uncleanly and create a build-up of unburned powder inside powder actuated tools. In rare and extreme cases, a buildup of unburned powder from inferior-quality cartridges may result in explosion of the tool, which may lead to serious injury to the operator as well as bystanders.Hilti long ago established technical specifications to secure high quality standards for its cartridges and avoid dangerous levels of powder build-up. All Hilti cartridges are tested to these specifications to ensure they can be safely used in Hilti powder actuated tools. Hilti has no control over the design, manufacture, testing or modification of non-Hilti cartridges. It is therefore not possible for Hilti to continuously monitor and test all cartridges in the market to ensure they will work safely in Hilti tools. As a result, we re-emphasize the recommendation contained in the Hilti Instruction Manuals to only use Hilti cartridges or cartridges of suitable quality in all Hilti powder actuated tools.At a minimum, cartridges must:
