Remington Power Fasteners are manufactured from special steel and heat treated to produce a very hard, yet ductile, fastener. CAUTION: Always use Remington 22 caliber Type A crimped loads or loads manufactured to specifications outlined in the P.A.T.M.I. “Technical Data Pertaining to Powder Loads (Boosters)”, latest revision. Use of loads other than those conforming to these specifications may cause load- ejection problems or damage the tool. Read this manual and all labels carefully before operating your powder actuated tool. This manual should always accompany the tool and be transferred with it upon change of ownership. WARNING: This tool is designed only for use by qualified operators. Qualification is obtained through a thorough understanding of the Safety Warnings and operating instructions as defined in this operating manual. WARNING: Safety Precautions The following pages contain detailed warnings, cautions, and rules of safe operation. Read carefully and become familiar before operating to avoid serious injury. We expressly disclaim any liability for any injury to persons or damage to property which result from your failure to take the precautions contained in this manual. BEFORE USING 1. ALWAYS handle the tool as if it were loaded. Before starting work, check that the tool is unloaded and the muzzle is clear. NEVER load a tool unless it is going to be used. 2. ALWAYS inspect to make sure the tool is working properly. If the tool does not work properly or is damaged remove from service and tag DEFECTIVE. 3. Operators and bystanders must ALWAYS wear goggles and ear protection that meet or exceed CE standards. 4. ALWAYS clear the work area on all sides and post appropriate warning signs on job sites. 2 Safety Precautions DEFECTIVE G 018 G 018 WARNING POWDER ACTUATED TOOLS IN USE! 3 Safety Precautions HANDLING THE TOOL 1. NEVER place your hand over the muzzle. Accidental discharge can cause serious injury. 2. ALWAYS store UNLOADED powder actuated tool and loads in a locked container. Keep powder loads of different power levels in separate containers. 3. NEVER carry or pass a loaded powder actuated tool. NEVER point a powder actuated tool at anyone. 4. ALWAYS take precautions to maintain your balance while operating a powder actuated tool. 5. An operator taking medication should take extra precautions while handling the tool. NEVER drink alcoholic beverages or take medications which impair your vision, balance or judgement before using a powder actuated tool. 4 Safety Precautions POWDERLOADS POWDLOAD G 018 G 018 G 018 G 018 G 018 5 Safety Precautions KNOW YOUR FASTENING BASE MATERIAL 1. ALWAYS know the thickness and type of base material into which you are fastening. NEVER GUESS. Test the base material by using the Center Punch Test. The Center Punch Test is performed by using a hammer to test drive the particular fastener to be used into the material. If the point penetrates easily, the material is too soft. If the point becomes blunt, the material is too hard. If the material fractures, cracks or shatters, the material is too brittle. Test fastenings should always be made starting with the lowest power load (Gray-Level 1) and proceeding with the order shown. Operators and bystanders must ALWAYS wear goggles and ear protection that meet or exceed CE standards. 2. NEVER attempt to drive 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. 3. NEVER make fastenings in spalled or cracked areas. 6 Safety Precautions ?? ? ?

NEVER drive fasteners into thin or easily penetrated materials unless it is backed by concrete or steel. When in doubt, such as when base material is concealed, conduct a Center Punch Test. Check continually to avoid fastening into unsuitable material, especially in older buildings. 5. DO NOT fasten thru or within 13mm (1/2”) of predrilled or pre-punched holes. 6. DO NOT drive fasteners into concrete less than three times as thick as the intended fastener penetration, within 76mm (3”) of the edge, within 76mm (3”) of another fastener or within 76mm (3”) of a failed fastener. 7. DO NOT drive fasteners into steel base material less then 5mm (3/16”) thick, within 51mm (2”) of a weld, within 13mm (1/2”) of the edge or within 25mm (1”) of another fastener. 8. When fastening into masonry walls, always drive into horizontal mortar joints, NEVER into vertical mortar joints. BE CAREFUL, a poorly laid joint may permit too much penetration, and/or unsatisfactory holding power. 8 Safety Precautions 1” TOO THIN WELD 1/2” G 018 G 018 G 018 76 mm 3" 3X 1X 76mm 3" 76mm 3" 76mm 3" 5 mm MIN 3/16" 25 mm 1"13 mm 1/2...
