GYPFAST TOOL OPERATING MANUAL
This manual is intended to acquaint you with Ramset’s GypFast tool . Unlike other power fastening tools,
the GypFast tool is powered by an linear internal combustion motor . In simpler terms, your GypFast tool is
powered by a motor similar to the one that powers an automobile . The tool ignites a fuel and air mixture to
produce the energy to drive the motor, which in turn drives the fastener . As you will see, the GypFast tool
is totally self-contained . It carries its own fuel supply and battery, along with a supply of fasteners .
For ease of use, this manual is divided into sections (see Table of Contents) . Each section of the manual
is written with you, the tool operator, in mind . We have left out all of the technical terms so that you can
readily understand how to get the maximum performance from your TrakFast tool, and how to avoid
damaging the tool or injuring yourself . But, to accomplish this, we need you to do two things:
1. READ THE MANUAL FROM COVER TO COVER BEFORE USING THE TOOL.
2. FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THE MANUAL.
The GypFast tool should be handled like other power fastening tools that you use . When used properly, it
will meet your fastening needs . And, like most of your tools, when used improperly it can cause injury . If
you are going to allow others to use the GypFast tool, it is your responsibility to make sure that they also
read and comply with the instructions in this manual before attempting to operate the tool .
Should you have questions about the GypFast system, or wish to obtain additional copies of this manual,
please feel free to contact your Ramset Distributor Sales Representative .
