HOW TO LOAD AND FIRE THE PT-22P
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 irst. 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 nose piece is against
the fastener accessory.
3. Select the proper power level .22
caliber “A” crimp load and insert
it in the iring chamber. Note: the
barrel must be slid back about
½
"
to allow the load to fully
seat lush in the chamber. With
the powder load fully seated,
carefully slide the barrel closed.
Never place your hand over the nose of the tool unless inserting a fastener
and then only with the chamber empty.
HOW TO LOAD AND FIRE THE PT-22P
WARNING: ALWAYS INSTALL THE FASTENER IN THE TOOL
FIRST, AND CHAMBER THE POWDER LOAD LAST.
4. Depress the tool irmly against the
work surface using both hands,
then pull the trigger. Make certain
you hold the tool perpendicular
to the work. 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.
5. After making the fastening, lift the
tool off the work surface and pull
the nosepiece sharply forward,
or lip the tool open with a snap
of the wrist. This action resets
the piston and ejects the powder
load shell from the chamber.
