Your Ramset SA270 Tool uses only the Ramset fasteners and loads shown below or 
listed for the tool in the Product Catalog.

FASTENERS

Never use any other types of fasteners or strip loads in the Ramset SA270 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 SA270 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.
