LOADING THE POWERHAMMER
1.
Insert the proper fastener into the
muzzle, round metal head first.
Push fastener until the point is even
with the end of the muzzle.
2.
Grab the muzzle and pull forward
until it stops. This sets the piston
and opens the chamber area.
3.
Insert the proper Remington Pow-
der Load into the chamber, while
holding the muzzle downward. Be
sure to keep holding the muzzle
downward and away from you. The
powder load will not seat fully.
4.
Push the barrel into the housing
until it stops and hold in the closed
position keeping the muzzle
pointed down. This keeps the pow-
der load from falling out of the cham-
ber.
FIRING THE POWERHAMMER
1.
Place the muzzle of the tool against
the work surface, hold at 90
°
, Do
Not Tilt.
2.
Hold the grip with one hand and
push down, compressing the
spring. The groove around the bar-
rel and outside of the housing at the
chamber area MUST line up (as
shown) for the tool to operate prop-
erly. If the grooves DO NOT line up,
check that the powder load has not
fallen out of the chamber.
3.
ALWAYS keep the chamber open-
ing away from the wrist to avoid
contact from escaping gas.
4.
Using a one pound hammer, HIT
THE FIRING PIN SQUARELY
WITH A SHARP, STRONG BLOW.
Hold the hammer as close as you
can to the tool head to improve your
accuracy. For best results, work at a
level below shoulder height.
5.
If the powder load does not fire with
the first blow, wait 30 seconds, eject
the powder load and start over
again. NOTE: A LIGHT HAMMER
BLOW WILL JAR THE DRIVE PIS-
TON OUT OF PROPER POSITION
CAUSING LESS POWER AND
PENETRATION OF THE FAS-
TENER.
