FUEL CELL 

DANGER

 
EXPLOSION/FIRE HAZARD  

Read ALL safety instructions 
before using or handling the 
fuel cell. Failure to follow  
ALL instructions may result  
in explosion or fire. This  
may cause severe personal 

injuries or property damage. 

Keep the fuel cell away 
from heat, sparks and 
open flame.  

Exposure to temperatures 
above 120°F (49°C) may 
cause the fuel cell to burst, 
releasing flammable gas. 

WARNING

•  Sunlight can raise the inside 

 

temperature of an unventilated  
car or van to above 140°F (60°C). 

•  Do not puncture or attempt to 

 

open the fuel cell; it is non-refillable. 

•  Do not incinerate, reclaim or recycle 

 

the fuel cell. 

•  Do not smoke while installing or 

 

removing the fuel cell. 

•  Do not inhale the spray. 
•  Keep out of the reach of children. 
•  Store fuel cell(s) in well-ventilated 

 

areas only. 

•  Do not reuse fuel cell, adaptor or seal.

The Ramset Fuel Cell contains liquid 
hydrocarbon fuel. This provides enough 
fuel to drive approximately 1,000 fasteners.

The Fuel Cell is designed for proper operation  
at temperatures between 15°F (-5°C) and 
120°F (49°C)

There is a second container inside the fuel 
cell. The inner container holds the fuel. The 
space between the inner container and the 
outer cylinder is filled with a gas, called the 
propellant, which is under pressure. 

To eject the fuel, propellant pressure 
squeezes the inner fuel container, much  
as you squeeze a tube of toothpaste. This 
squeezing action ensures that all the fuel 
is used, and that the T3 tools can operate 
in any position. 

Because of this container-within-a-container 
design, you might hear the sound of fluid 
when shaking the fuel cell after all the 
fuel has been used. This is the propellant, 
which remains between the containers 
even after all the fuel has been expelled. 

If you expose the empty fuel cell to 
extreme temperatures, the propellant gas 
will expand and could cause the container 
to burst, releasing flammable gases.
