sure that it does not contain a load
strip or fastener.
Test the tool several
times by depressing the muzzle bushing

trigger. You should hear an audible click
as the firing pin releases. Let up on the
tool and check to be sure that the barrel
has opened to the semi- open position.

OPERATING THE COBRA TOOL
1.
After checking to be sure that
the tool is not loaded, point it in a
safe direction and be sure that
the barrel is fully extended and then
close the tool to the semi-closed
position This assures that the piston
is in position for the next fastening.
Use the spall guard every time
possible to minimize the risk of
being struck by flying debris.

the fastener, point out, into the
muzzle end of the tool until the
point end is inside the muzzle.
NEVER
load a fastener with
your finger on the trigger.
DO
NOT
use excessive force when
inserting a fastener.

immediately if excessive force is
required, inspect the barrel to
find out why the fastener is not
entering the muzzle freely.

the problem is corrected.
3. With the tool pointed in a safe
direction and finger away from the
trigger, insert a load strip into the
bottom of the handle and push it in
until your finger is in firm contact
with the handle recess.
