SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4

Loads & Load Selection Safety

1. Always make a test fastening

after being sure that the base
material is suitable for powder
actuated fastening. 

Failure to

determine the correct power level
to be used may result in the use
of excessive power, allowing the
fastener to pass completely
through the work material,
causing serious or fatal injuries to
others who may be in the path of
the fastener.

2. Color-blind operators must al-

ways select loads by load number
to prevent use of an incorrect
load for the same reasons as in #1
above.

Workplace Safety

1. Operators and bystanders must

always wear approved safety
goggles and approved hearing
protection.

 Failure to do so may

result in blindness or serious eye
injury from flying debris and loss
of hearing from constant or
repeated unprotected exposure to
fastening noise.

2. Always keep the work area clear

of bystanders and unnecessary
materials that could interfere with
safe tool operation.

 

Operating the

tool in a congested or cluttered
area may affect your ability to
operate the tool safely.

3. Never operate tool if flammable or

explosive materials are nearby.

Powder loads burn and create
sparks when fired  and could ignite
these materials or fumes.

4. Always post warning signs within

50’ of the area where fastening is
to be done. Sign must state:
“Caution- Powder Actuated Tool
In Use”. 

Failure to warn others may

result in serious injury to them. Con-
tact ITW Ramset/ Red Head at
1-800-354-7432 to obtain this
sign.
