HOW TO LOAD AND FIRE THE PT-22A TOOL
1. Open the tool. Grasp the nosepiece
and pull sharply forward until you
feel a positive stop, then pull the
nosepiece back until it stops and is
fully closed. This resets the piston.
2. Insert the fastener into the nosepiece
of the tool, head or threaded end
first. Push the fastener until the
pointed end is even with the face of
the nosepiece or, if a pre-assembled
fastener is used, until the nosepiece
is against the fastener accessory.
3. Select the proper power level .22
caliber “A” crimp load and insert
it in the firing chamber. Note: the
barrel must be slid back about
1
⁄
2
" to
allow the load to sit fully flush in the
chamber. With the powder load fully
seated, carefully slide the
barrel closed.
4. Depress the tool firmly against the
work surface using both hands, then
pull the trigger. Make certain you hold
the tool perpendicular to the work
surface. Using the supplied rubber
spall stop will help ensure the tool
is perpendicular to the work surface
and will help to minimize concrete
spalling when the fastener is installed.
Never place your hand over the nose of the tool unless inserting a fastener
and then only with the chamber empty.
