3. Inserting power load strip
With the tool in the closed position insert
a power load strip into the cavity in the
base of the rubber handle
(Pic. 10)
and
push it in until the flat of your finger
tip is firmly against the handle recess.
The first power load is now aligned with the
power load chamber prior to cocking.

Note:
Always use the lowest strength power load
and lowest power setting first for firing test.
4. Loading fasteners
Select the correct fastener for the application
(refer page 11), while pointing the tool down
and away from yourself and any other person,
insert a fastener,
head first
into the muzzle
end of the fastener guide at the front end of the
tool. But not with TM40 attachment
(Pic. 11)
.

5. Firing
To fire the tool, press it firmly against the work
surface, ensuring the tool is at right angles
(90º) in both directions to the work surface.
(Safety Precaution No. 22).
Always
hold the
tool securely, with a well balanced stance,
positioning your body comfortably in line with
the tool. (Safety Precaution Nos. 21 & 24) and
then pull the trigger.
6. Fastener Setting
The fastener is correctly set when;
(i) in case of timber fixing.
- the head of the fastener is flush with
the
surface of the timber.
(ii) in the case of fixing thinner metals.
- the under side of the fastener head is in
contact with the material surface with only
minor deformation of the material.
The fastener is over driven if;
(i) the head is embedded into the fixing
material.
(ii) the shank of the fastener is damaged or
broken during driving.
If the fastener is over driven, reduce power
by selecting a lower strength power load or
adjusting power setting.
If fastener is under driven, increase power
by increasing power setting. When maximum
setting is reached, move wheel back to
minimum position and insert next strength
power load.
