3 101274 WARNING ICON G 001 W arning: Safety Precautions The following pages contain detailed warnings, cau- tions, and rules of safe operation. Read carefully and become familiar before operating to avoid serious injury.
4 101274 5. ALWAYS make sure the work area is clean from loose material and debris. Safety Precautions 1. NEVER place your hand over the muzzle. Accidental discharge can cause serious injury. HANDLING THE TOOL 2. NEVER place your finger on the trigger until the muzzle of the tool is against the work surface.
5 101274 Safety Precautions 4. NEVER carry or pass a loaded powder actuated tool. NEVER point a powder actuated tool at anyone. 3. ALWAYS store UNLOADED powder actuated tool and powder loads in a locked container. Keep powder loads of different power levels in separate containers.
6 101274 Safety Precautions 7. An operator taking medication should take extra precau- tions while handling the tool. NEVER drink alcoholic bever- ages or take medications which impair your vision, balance or judgement before using a powder actuated tool.
7 101274 Safety Precautions 3. NEVER make fastenings in spalled or cracked areas. 2. NEVER attempt to drive power fasteners into very hard or brittle materials including, but not limited to cast iron, glass, tile, stone, brick, or hardened steel. Materials of this type tend to shatter and create hazard from flying particles.
8 101274 3" 3X 1X 7. DO NOT drive power fasteners into steel base material less then 3/16" thick, within 2" of a weld, within 1/2" of the edge, or within 1" of another power fastener.
9 101274 WATER 489-33 30 489- 3. ALWAYS use the spall shield when driving directly into concrete or steel. ALWAYS wear eye protection. 4. NEVER use a powder actuated tool in an explosive or flammable atmosphere or when non sparking tools are required.
10 101274 3. NEVER use powder loads in firearms. 5. A color blind person must take extra precautions to prevent the chance of mixing the powder loads of various levels. 4. NEVER carry fasteners or other hard objects in the same pocket or container with powder loads.
11 101274 7. NEVER use common nails or other materials as fasteners. Remington ® Power Fasteners are manufactured from special steel and heat treated to produce a very hard yet ductile fastener. 8. NEVER pry a powder load out of the chamber. Prying can discharge the load causing serious injury (see Trouble- shooting Guide on pages 20 and 21).
12 101274 WHY A POWER FASTENER HOLDS IN CONCRETE The compression bond of the con- crete to the power fastener accounts for the majority of the holding power. The fastener displaces the concrete which tries to return to its original form causing a squeezing effect.
13 101274 FASTENING INTO CONCRETE The proper power fastener length can be determined by adding the thickness of the material to be fas- tened and the amount of fastener that will actually penetrate the con- crete. The concrete must be three times as thick as the intended fas- tener penetration.
14 101274 1. Grasp muzzle and slide barrel forward rapidly until it stops. This sets piston into firing position and opens the chamber. 4. Push barrel into housing to the closed position. 3. Select the proper Remington ® Powder Load (see Applica- tion Chart on pages 24 and 25) and insert into the chamber until it stops.
15 101274 5. Place the muzzle of tool perpendicular to work surface without tilting the tool. Push tool against work surface until sliding action of barrel stops. 6. Squeeze trigger to set power fastener. Be sure to keep pressure on tool during this operation.
