TOOL OPERATION
Daily Function Test
Always check the tool first to make sure
that it does not contain a strip load or
fastener.
Test the tool several times by
depressing the muzzle bushing fully on a
hard surface and pulling the trigger. You
should hear an audible click as the firing pin
releases. Let up on the tool and check to be
sure that the barrel has opened to the semi-
open position.
OPERATING THE RAMSET
SA270 TOOL
1. After checking to be sure that the tool
is not loaded, point it in a safe direction
and be sure that the barrel is fully
extended and then close the tool to the
semi-closed position. This assures that
the piston is in position for the next
fastening. Use the spall guard every
time possible to minimize the risk of
being struck by flying debris.
2. With finger off the trigger, place the
fastener, point out, into the muzzle
end of the tool until the point end is
inside the muzzle.
NEVER
load a
fastener with your finger on the trigger.
DO NOT
use excessive force when
inserting a fastener.
STOP
immediately
if excessive force is require, inspect
the barrel to find out why the fastener
is not entering the muzzle freely.
DO
NOT
continue loading unless the
problem is corrected.
3. With the tool pointed in a safe
direction and finger away from the
trigger, insert a load strip into the
bottom of the handle and push it in
until your finger is in firm contact with
the handle recess.
