Never use any other types of fasteners or strip loads in the Ramset Rocket Tool. Use of other 

types of fasteners or loads may cause unintentional load discharge, damage the tool, cause 

poor fastening performance, or create a risk of serious injury to the operator or bystanders.

DANGER

LOADS

Ramset RS27 strip loads are specially made for use in the Ramset Rocket Tool.

The power level of the load is indicated by 
the number marked on each box, the color 
of the box, and the color on the tip of each 
load. As the number increases, the power 
level also increases.

Always perform the center punch test 
described on page 3 to test the base material.

Always make a test fastening using the 
lowest power level first. If more power is 
required to set the fastener, use the next 
higher power level until the powder level 
necessary to drive the fastener is reached.
