Nose Piece or Depth Control:
Nose Piece or Depth Control naturally
wears over time due to constant abrasion
of the screws and contact with the surface
being screwed down. If the nibs on the
front of the nose piece or the fastener
channel are worn, the nose piece may
be replaced. If it’s the channel that is worn,
the fastener may drive into the material off vertical,
causing countersink problems, jamming, and excessive bit wear.
Gear Wheel:
The gear wheel may wear with use.
If the gear wheel is worn, it will either
seize or spin freely instead of deliberately
advancing from one position to the next.
If the gear wheel does not advance
properly, it is likely damaged and may
need to be replaced. The purpose of the
gear wheel is to advance the fastener belt
forward but not allow it to roll back during
or after the advancing movement.
Spring for the Gliding Piece:
Over time, the spring for the gliding piece may become fatigued.
(Refer to part #6 in the Parts Diagram shown on page 14)
This may prevent the tool from properly recoiling between drives.
If the spring has worn replacement may be necessary.

Warning: Do Not Use Oil
Oil will hold dirt and interfere with tool operation
• Graphite may be used to lubricate.
• To maintain proper operation of the PAMFast tool, ensure that
the gear wheel, inner spring, and gliding piece remain free from
debris and obstructions.
• Gliding piece must move freely in the housing.
Check periodically for damage. If burrs or obstructions
are found, smooth with a file.
