5. NEVER CARRY THE TOOL WITH
YOUR FINGER ON, OR DEPRESSING,
THE TRIGGER.
You must remember that
the TrakFast tool operates in a specific
sequence . The Work Contacting Element
acts as an operating feature that blocks the
Trigger from completing the ignition circuit .
Should you unintentionally depress the
Work Contacting Element while pulling
the Trigger as you are carrying the tool . . .
it could discharge a fastener .
6. NEVER OPERATE A TOOL THAT IS
MALFUNCTIONING.
If you determine that
the TrakFast tool is not working properly,
and the problem is more than a simple
fastener jam, stop using it immediately and
refer to the Servicing Section of this manual .
If the problem cannot be corrected with one
of the steps covered in the Servicing Section,
report the problem to your supervisor or
Ramset Distributor representative .
Do not attempt to make any additional
repairs to the TrakFast tool.
7. OPERATE THE TOOL ONLY ON THE
WORK SURFACE.
The
TrakFast tool should be
operated only when it is
in contact with the work
surface . Always hold the
tool firm and perpendicular
against the surface to be fastened .
8. NEVER DISABLE OR REMOVE THE
WORK CONTACTING ELEMENT.
The
TrakFast tool is equipped with a device
called the Work Contacting Element .
This device helps reduce the possibility
of accidental operation by preventing the
tool from operating until it is fully depressed
on the work surface . The Work Contacting
Element must never be disabled or removed .
Do not use the TrakFast tool if the Work
Contacting Element is not working properly .
9. DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS WITH
THE TRIGGER OR WORK CONTACTING
ELEMENT DEPRESSED.
When loading
fasteners into the TrakFast tool, you must
avoid pulling the Trigger or while having the
Work Contacting Element depressed . When
the tool is placed on a bench or other surface,
the Work Contacting Element might be
depressed . When you are loading fasteners,
you could accidentally pull the Trigger by
grasping the Handle to steady the tool .
These two actions will cause the TrakFast
tool to operate, discharging a fastener .
10. FASTENER REMOVAL OR CLEARING
JAMS.
With the TrakFast tool pointed away
from you and others, pull the Follower back
slightly and push the Release Lever . Tip the
tool Nose up slightly, and the fasteners will
slide out the rear of the Magazine . If you
have a jammed fastener, or other problem
with the operation of your TrakFast tool you
should stop attempting to use the tool and
refer immediately to the Servicing Section of
the manual .
11. NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE
TRAKFAST TOOL IF PARTS ARE LOOSE,
DAMAGED, OR MISSING.
Make sure all
screws and nuts are properly tightened and
all parts are properly installed and in good
working order . If parts are missing, don’t
attempt to make temporary repairs . . .contact
your Sales Representative immediately .
12. NEVER DRIVE FASTENERS ON TOP
OF OTHER FASTENERS OR TOO CLOSE
TO OTHER FASTENERS.
Fastening on top
of or too close to other fasteners can cause
the fastener to ricochet and cause serious
injury . Fasten only in areas where the entire
shank can penetrate .
13. NEVER FASTEN INTO INAPPROPIATE
BASE MATERIAL.
Materials such as hardened
steel, the web or edge of an I-beam, or steel
that is too thick may cause the fastener to
bend and or break and could cause serious
injury . Ramset performance data offers a
guideline of appropriate base materials and
thicknesses .
14. NEVER FIRE INTO VERY HARD OR
BRITTLE MATERIALS SUCH AS CAST
IRON, TILE, GLASS, OR ROCK.
These
materials can shatter, causing sharp
fragments and/or the fastener to fly freely .
