This standard is applicable to fastener driving tools which are handled by one person and in which energy in a linear movement is applied to a loaded fastener for the purpose of driving this into a workpiece of a determined material. During the driving operation, the fastener leaves the tool partially or entirely, with sufficient velocity to overcome the resistance of penetration, and forms a mechanical connection or attachment of different workpieces. The energy required for driving a fastener is provided by compressed air or combustible gases.NOTE 1 Fastener driving tools are also referred to for example as Nailers, Staplers, Tackers, Pinners.NOTE 2 The w
