TOOL OPERATION

Daily Function Test
Always check the tool first to make
sure that it does not contain a load
or fastener. 

Test the tool several times

by depressing the muzzle bushing fully
on a hard surface and pulling the 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-closed position.

OPERATING THE MD380  TOOL

1.

After checking to be sure that
the tool is not loaded, point it in a
safe direction and slide the barrel
open. Always hold the front end of
the tool by the heat shield or spall
guard edges. 

NEVER 

open or close

the tool with your hand over the end
of the muzzle bushing (fastener
loading end of the tool).

2.

With finger off the trigger, and
holding the tool by the heat shield,
place 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. 

STOP

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

DO

NOT

 continue loading unless

the problem is corrected.

3.

While still holding the tool by the
heat shield and with the barrel fully
open, use the ramrod to push the
fastener in the barrel until it is up
against the piston and the piston is
fully set. 

Never 

ramrod  a fastener

into the tool with a live or fired load
in the tool or with the barrel in the
closed position.
