PUNCH TESTG 018

TOO SOFT

G 018

TOO HARD

G018

1.ALWAYS know the thickness and type of base material into which you are fastening. NEVER GUESS. Test the base material by using the Center Punch Test. The Center Punch Test is performed by using a hammer to test drive the particular power fastener to be used into the material. If the point penetrates easily, the material is too soft. If the point becomes blunt, the material is too hard. If the material fractures, cracks or shatters, the material is too brittle. Test fastenings can be made if the material shows a clear fastener impression and the fastener point is not blunted. ALWAYS use test fastenings to determine the correct power load level and the tool???s power indicator setting (see Power Loads and Power Indicator Setting, page 13). Operators and bystanders must always wear goggles and ear protection which meet or exceed the accepted standards for adequate protection in your country. In the USA, refer to ANSI standards. In Canada, refer to CSA standards.

Safety Precautions

TILE BRICK

CAST IRON GLASS

2.NEVER attempt to drive power fasteners into very hard or brittle materials including, but not limited to cast iron, glass, tile, stone, brick, or hardened steel. Materials of this type tend to shatter and create hazards from flying particles.

G018

3.NEVER make fastenings in spalled or cracked areas.

G018

4.NEVER drive power fasteners into thin or easily penetrated materials unless it is backed by concrete or steel. When in doubt, such as when base material is concealed, conduct a Center Punch Test (See page 6). Check continually to avoid fastening into unsuitable material, especially in older buildings.

G018

5.DO NOT fasten through or within 1/2" of predrilled or pre-punched holes.

7

Safety Precautions

3"

6.DO NOT drive power fasteners into concrete less than three times as thick as the intended fastener penetration, within 3" of the edge, within 3" of another power fastener or within 3" of a failed power fastener.

WELD

7. DO NOT drive power fasteners into steel base material less then 3/16" thick, within 2" of a weld, within 1/2" of the edge or within 1" of another power fastener.

G 018

8.When fastening into masonry walls, always drive into horizontal mortar joints, never into vertical mortar joints. BE CAREFUL. A poorly laid joint may permit too much penetration, and/or unsatisfactory holding power.

OPERATING THE TOOL

1.ALWAYS hold tool perpendicular to work surface.

2.Should the tool fail to fire, hold the muzzle firmly against the work surface for 30 seconds. Release the trigger and remove pressure on the tool while holding the muzzle against the work surface. Again press the tool firmly against the work surface and pull the trigger. If the tool still fails to fire, hold the tool firmly against the work surface for another 30 seconds before advancing the power load strip.

Use remaining loads in strip. Discard power load strip into water or oil.

3.ALWAYS use the spall shield when driving directly into concrete or steel. Always wear goggles.

Safety Precautions

2.Remington?? power load strips are available in three power levels ??? green (level

Always use test fastenings to determine the correct power load level and the tool???s power indicator setting (see Power Loads and Power Indicator Setting, page 13). IMPORTANT: Purple (level 6) power load strips will not function in model 500V tool.

3.NEVER use power loads in firearms.

7.Never use common nails or other materials as fasteners. Remington?? Power

Fasteners are manufactured from special steel and heat treated to produce a very hard yet ductile fastener.

G018

8.Never pry a power load out of the strip. Prying can discharge the load causing serious injury (See Troubleshooting Guide, page 26). Never attempt to reload used strips.

9.If work is interrupted for any reason, remove the power load strip before removing the power fastener.

Why A Power Fastener Holds

WHY A POWER FASTENER HOLDS

IN CONCRETE

The compression bond of the concrete to the power fastener accounts for the majority of the holding power.

The fastener displaces the concrete which tries to return to its original form causing a squeezing effect.

Maximum holding power is achieved when the depth of penetration produces a bond on the power fastener equal to the strength of the concrete. As a general rule, pene- tration should be approximately 1" to 1 1/4" into the base concrete. Make sure the concrete is at least three times as thick as the intended fastener penetration. Never have the power fastener point protrude through the concrete.

NOTE: Concrete needs to cure for 28 days before maximum fastening holding power will be achieved.

WHY A POWER FASTENER HOLDS IN

STEEL

Holding power in steel depends on the elasticity of the steel. The steel pushes back on the shank of the power fastener.

Drop a marble into water; the water parts, the marble continues down, the water closes back. This is similar to the reaction when a power fastener penetrates steel.

In steel, the point of the power fastener must penetrate completely throughfor highest holding power. If thefastener does not penetrate, the spring action of the steel pushes back on the point and tends to force the fastener out.

Recommended applications are between 3/16-3/8" steel.

NOTE: When fastening in steel be sure the point goes through the steel.

Selecting Power Fasteners

and Power loads

13

Operation

1.Grasp barrel assembly and slide forward rapidly until it stops. Push barrel assembly back into tool to the closed position. This sets piston into firing position.

2.Insert power fastener into muzzle of tool, head end first. Push the fastener until point is even with end of muzzle.

NOTE:

Failure to start with the proper power level and power set- ting can result in over- drive condition and will result in damage to tool (See page 13).

3.Select the proper power level of power load strips and power indicator setting (see Power Loads and Power Indicator Setting, page 13). Always insert power load strips through bottom of handle. Push power load strip in until even with bottom of handle.

4.Place the muzzle of tool perpendicular to work surface without tilting the tool.

Push tool against work surface until sliding action of barrel stops.

106763

14

Operation

5.Squeeze trigger to set power fastener. Be sure to keep pressure on tool during this operation.

6.Grasp muzzle cap and slide barrel forward rapidly until it stops. Push barrel assembly back into tool to the closed position. This advances the power load strip and resets the piston for the next fastening.

WARNING: Do not depress barrel assembly past the closed position when loading new power fastener. Live power load is in firing position.

WATER

7.Should the tool fail to fire, hold the muzzle firmly against the work surface for 30 seconds. Release the trigger and remove pressure on the tool while holding the muzzle against the work surface. Again press the tool firmly against the work surface and pull the trigger. If the tool still fails to fire, hold the tool firmly against the work surface for another 30 seconds before advancing the power load strip. Use remaining loads in strip. Discard power load strip into water or oil.
