FASTENERS
The GypFast tool can drive only ITW Ramset
fasteners . Any other fastener will cause tool
damage and void your warranty .
LOADING AND UNLOADING FASTENERS
1 . Lay the tool on its right side, exposing the
gate latch .
2 . Unlatch and open the gate . Swing open the
magazine cover .
3 . Completely remove the blue tape from the coil
and unwind 1-2” of nails .
4 . Guide the first nail into the drive raceway while
placing the coil of nails into the magazine .
5 . Close the magazine and gate and you are now
ready to start driving nails .
To unload nails from a tool, first tear off excess
collation sticking out the front of the tool . Unlatch
and open the gate to remove the rest of the coil .
GYPFAST TOOL OPERATION
Proper technique assures smooth operation of the
tool . Three easy steps to actuated the tool
are:
1. ENGAGE THE TOOL
PLACE GYPFAST
ADJUSTABLE NOSEPIECE
AGAINST WORK SURFACE .
Then press down
to close tool .
Fan Motor will turn on, LED
will be steady green . Fuel
is injected into Combustion
Chamber and mixed with air
by the Fan .
2. SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER
The Spark Plug
sparks and fuel/air mixture ignites . Combustion
powers the Piston Assembly, driving the fastener .
3. RELEASE TRIGGER - LIFT THE TOOL
The Combustion Chamber opens . Fan exhausts
hot gases and cools internal components .
NOTE:
If no additional cycles are made, fan will
run for 7 seconds and then shut off .
TO PREVENT UNINTENTIONAL TOOL OPERATION,
AND POSSIBLE INJURY TO YOURSELF OR
ANYONE IN THE WORKING AREA, BE SURE
TO RELEASE THE TRIGGER AS SOON AS YOU
HAVE FINISHED DRIVING FASTENERS . NEVER
PRESS THE ADJUSTABLE NOSEPIECE AGAINST
ANY OBJECT EXCEPT THE MATERIAL TO BE
FASTENED .
As the nails are being driven, the leftover collation
is fed through the nose of the tool . As collation
accumulates, it can be torn off by twisting and
pulling down on the collation . Keep your finger
off the trigger when performing this procedure .
