Safety Precautions BRICK TILE CAST IRON GLASS 482-33 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. 3. Never make fastenings in spalled or cracked areas. 4. Never drive power fasteners into thin or easily penetrated materials unless it is backed by concrete or steel. When in doubt, such as when base m

POWDER LOADS POWDER LOADS Safety Precautions 30 WATER 2. Should the tool fail to fire, hold the muzzle firmly against the work surface for 30 seconds. Release the trigger and remove pressure on the tool while holding the muzzle against the work surface. Again press the tool firmly against the work surface and pull the trigger. If the tool still fails to fire, hold the tool firmly against the work surface for another 30 seconds before advancing the power load strip. Use remaining loads in strip.

Head Shank 482-60 Plastic Flute 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 power load out of the strip.

Why A Power Fastener Holds WHY A POWER FASTENER HOLDS IN CONCRETE The compression bond of the concrete 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. 482-64 Maximum holding power is achieved when the depth of penetration produces a bond on the power fastener equal to the strength of the concrete. As a general rule, pene- tration should be approximately 1" to 1 1/4" in

Selecting Power Fasteners and Power Loads FASTENING INTO CONCRETE The proper power fastener length can be determined by adding the thickness of the material to be fastened and the amount of fastener that will actually penetrate the con- crete. The concrete must be three times as thick as the intended fastener penetration. In most cases, penetration 482-85 should be approximately 1" to 1 1/4" into the base concrete Wood or Non-Metals material. To Concrete FASTENING INTO STEEL The proper fastener

Operation 1. Grasp barrel assembly and slide forward rapidly until it stops. Push barrel assembly back into tool to the closed position. This sets piston into firing position. 482-70 482-71 2. Insert power fastener into muzzle of tool, head end first. Push the fastener until point is even with end of tool. NOTE: Failure to start with the lowest power level can result in overdrive condition and will result in damage to tool (See page 13). 3. Select the proper power level of power load strips. Al

Operation 5. Squeeze trigger to set power fastener. Be sure to keep pressure on tool during this operation. 6. Grasp base plate and slide barrel forward rapidly until it stops. Push base plate back into liner to the closed position. This advances the power load strip and resets the piston for the next fastening. WARNING: Do not depress muzzle of tool into barrel assembly when loading new power fastener. Live power load is in firing position. 30 WATER 7. Should the tool fail to fire, hold the muz
