Single Fastening Tool Operation

CAUTION:

— Be sure to read and understand all of the safety precautions and training in this

manual before attempting to operate the tool. (Check to be sure the tool is not loaded, the
piston moves freely within the barrel, and no foreign objects or fasteners are in the barrel.)
Perform the daily function test before using the tool.

Always load the fastener before inserting powder load to prevent injury to the operator or
bystanders in the event of an accidental discharge. Place the fastener, point out, into the end 
of the guide until the washer/fluted tip fits inside. Do not use excessive force when inserting the
fastener. If excessive force is required, stop and determine why the fastener cannot be inserted.
Correct the problem before proceeding.

Load the cartridge strip narrow end first by inserting it into the bottom of the tool grip unit flush.
If the strip has been partly used, pull it through until a live cartridge is in the chamber.

Adjust the driving power by turning the regulating wheel.

1 = minimum power
3 = medium power
6 = maximum power

Note:

Start with minimum power. If the fastener does not penetrate deep enough,

increase the power.

To make a fastening, place the tool against the work surface. Hold the tool firmly with two 
hands and press down. Then squeeze the trigger. Always hold the tool perpendicular to the work
surface. Hold the tool firmly against the work surface to avoid excessive recoil. Never depress the
tool against anything except the work surface.

Never push back the fastener guide with the palm of your hand or other part of your body or by
means of the fastener. IF THE TOOL ACCIDENTALLY DISCHARGES THE PISTON OR FASTENER MAY
PENETRATE YOUR HAND RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY

Note:

Do not attempt to unload or disassemble a jammed, stuck or broken tool as improper

handling may cause it to discharge and strike the operator and/or bystander. A jammed tool must
be pointed in a safe direction at all times. Tag the tool and lock it up. Call your Powers Fasteners
representative for proper assistance.

Push button in red area of connecting
sleeve and turn sleeve until button
