34 Pa. Code § 29.65 - Firing position
(a) The firing
mechanism shall be designed to prevent the tool from firing during loading or
preparation to fire, or when the tool is dropped while loaded. Firing of the
tool shall be dependent upon at least two separate and distinct operations of
the operator, with the final firing movement being separate from the operation
of bringing the tool into the firing position. The requirements of this section
are in addition to those required by §
29.63 (relating to safety
locks).
(b) The tool shall be so
designed that it is not operable other than against a work surface and unless
the operator is holding the tool against the work surface with a force of at
least five pounds greater than the total weight of the tool.
(c) The tool shall be so designed that it
does not operate when equipped with the standard guard indexed to the center
position, if the bearing surface of the guard is tilted more than 8° from
contact with the work surface.
