FAILURE TO FOLLOW 
INSTRUCTIONS CAN 
CAUSE INJURY TO THE 
TOOL OPERATOR OR  
TO BYSTANDERS.

Fastener Driving Safety

1.  Only use the tool for fastening into  

a suitable base material.

2.  Never fire the tool without a fastener. 

Firing a tool without a fastener will 
cause the piston to strike the work  
surface, and may cause serious injury 
to you and others in the work area.

3.   Always hold the tool perpendicular  

to and firmly against the work  
surface when making a fastening. 

Failure to do so could allow a fastener  
to ricochet.

4.  Never attempt to drive a fastener 

close to an edge or to another  
fastener. 

See page 8 for guidelines.

ALWAYS FOLLOW THE  
MISFIRE PROCEDURE.

If the tool does not fire after pulling the 
trigger, continue to hold the depressed 
tool against the work surface for at least 
30 seconds. 

Then carefully open the tool, 

remove the load strip, and put it in a can 
of water or other non-flammable liquid. 
Never carelessly discard a strip with live 
loads into a trash container.

If the tool becomes stuck or jammed with 
a live powder load, 

keep the tool pointed 

in a safe direction, and immediately tag it, 

“Danger- defective - do not use”. 

Lock  

the tool in a tool box and call your local 
Ramset distributor for assistance.
