THIS TOOL FOR USE BY LICENSED OPERATORS ONLY.
READ AND OBEY ALL SAFETY AND OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING TOOL.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC, LOW VELOCITY
PISTON TYPE FASTENING TOOL
Just as no one can merely read a book about driving an automobile and then hope
to drive one safely, no one should attempt to use any Ramset tool without adequate,
competent personal instruction. And just as one must be licensed to drive an automobile,
one must also be licensed to use a powder actuated tool. No automobile instruction
book or instructor can forewarn a learner against all possibilities and emergencies, nor
can Ramset instructors and printed material detail all possible conditions surrounding
the use of Ramset tools and products.
Responsibility for the safe and proper use of this tool rests with the tool user
and the employer.

Preparation
Acceptable Base Materials
Powder actuated fastening is suitable for
use in the following base materials only:
• PouredConcrete
• StructuralSteel
• MasonryJoints(seepage8)
Never attempt to fasten into any other
type of material.
Fastening into other
materials can cause blindness or other
serious injury.
Unacceptable Base Materials
Never attempt to fasten into very hard or
brittle materials such as cast iron, tile,
glass, or rock of any type. These materials
can shatter, causing the fastener and/or base
material fragments to fly free and cause
serious injury to the tool operator and others.
Never fasten into soft base materials, such as
drywall or lumber products.
These materials
may allow the fastener to travel completely
through and out the other side, endangering
those in the path of the fastener.
Never fasten into any base material that
does not pass the Center Punch test.
Failure to assure the suitability of the base
material can result in serious injury to the
eyes or other body parts.
Center Punch Test
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES
WHEN PERFORMING THIS TEST.
1. Always check the material being
fastened into for hardness before
attempting any fastening operation.
2. Using a fastener as a center punch,
strike the fastener against the work
surface using an average hammer
blow and check the results.
Center Punch Test Results
1. If the fastener point is flattened,
the material is too hard for a
powder actuated fastening.
2. If the fastener penetrates the
material easily, the material is
too soft.
3. If the material cracks or shatters,
the material is too brittle.
4. If the fastener makes a small
indentation into the material, the
material is suitable for fastening.

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 always
select loads by 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 eye protection
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 ft. of the area where fastening
is to be done. Sign must state:
“WARNING - Powder Actuated
Tool In Use”. Failure to warn others
may result in serious injury to them.

Fastener Driving Safety
1. Only use the tool for fastening into
a suitable base material.
2. Never fire the tool without a fastener.
Firing a tool without a fastener will
cause the piston to strike the work
surface, and may cause serious injury
to you and others in the work area.
3. Always use the spall guard whenever
possible to minimize flying particles
or debris.
4. Always hold the tool perpendicular
to and firmly against the work
surface
when making a fastening.
Failure to do
so could allow a fastener
to ricochet.
5. Never attempt to drive a fastener
close to an edge or to another
fastener. See page 8 for guidelines.
ALWAYS FOLLOW THE
MISFIRE PROCEDURE.
If the tool does not fire after the normal
firing sequence, continue to hold the
depressed tool against the work surface
for at least 30 seconds. Then carefully lower
the tool, remove the strip load, and put it
in a can of water or other non-flammable
liquid. Never carelessly discard a strip with
live loads into a trash container.
If the tool becomes stuck or jammed with
a live powder load,
keep the tool pointed
in a safe direction, and immediately tag it,
“Danger- defective - do not use”.
Lock
the tool in a tool box and call your local
Ramset distributor for assistance.

FASTENING APPLICATIONS
Your Ramset tool can be used for a wide
range of fastening needs in a variety of
base materials. Reading and follow these
important fastening guidelines will help you
get the best results from your tool, fasteners,
and powder loads, as well as help you
perform these fastening operations safely
and effectively.
Powder actuated fastenings are permanent
fastening so attempting to remove a fastener
from concrete or steel may result in serious
injury.
Fastening to Concrete
When fastening into concrete, always
maintain a minimum spacing of 3”
between fastenings
and 3” from any free
edge. Concrete thickness
should be at
least three times the intended penetration
depth into the concrete.
Driving fasteners too close to an edge or too
close to each other can cause the concrete
edge to fail or fasteners to fly free.
Fastening to Steel
Your Ramset tool can be used for fastening
on the flat surfaces of structural steel.
When fastening into steel, always maintain
a minimum spacing of 1-1/2” between
fastenings and 1/2” from any edge.

TOOL OPERATION
DAILY FUNCTION TEST
Always check the tool first to make sure
that it does not contain a load strip or
fastener. Test the tool overhead several
times by completely depressing it on a hard
surface. You should hear an audible click as
the firing pin releases. Let up on the
tool and
check to be sure that the barrel assembly
has opened to the starting position.
Next, place the tool, pointing downward, on
a hard surface and firmly, completely depress
the tool. You must not hear the firing pin
release! If the firing pin releases.
STOP, DO
NOT TRY TO USE THE TOOL UNTIL THE
PROPER REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE.
Contact your Ramset Distributor for repairs.
OPERATING THE VIPER TOOL
1. Insert a fastener assembly into the
muzzle bushing end of the tool until
it is fully seated. If a clip assembly is
being used, be sure it is positioned in
the cutout section of the spall guard.
2. Insert a load strip into the bottom of the
handle and push it in until your finger is
in firm contact with the handle recess.
Never try to insert a load strip into the
tool from the top of the receiver.
3. Carefully raise the tool to the ceiling
and depress the barrel assembly
where the fastening is to be made.
Hold the tool perpendicular and forcibly push upwards on the pole handle
to compress the firing pin spring and
release the sear to fire the tool. If the
tool does not fire, continue to hold it
in place for at least 30 seconds and
then follow the misfire procedure on
page 6. Always point the tool in a safe
direction and use care when raising it
to the ceiling to avoid bumping objects
that could cause the tool to fire.

4. Lower the tool, keeping it pointed in
a safe direction, and insert the next
fastener or fastener assembly. Note:
While the Viper tool is being closed and
fired, the advance lever cam has caused
the load advance lever to be indexed
downward to pick up the next load.
When the tool is lowered and opens
up, the next unfired load is indexed
upward to the firing position. At the
same time, as the tool is lowered, the
piston is automatically reset for the
next fastening.
NEVER PLACE YOUR HAND OR
FINGERS OVER THE MUZZLE
BUSING WHILE AN UNFIRED LOAD
IS IN POSITION TO BE FIRED.
5. After all 10 loads in the strip have been
fired, pull the used load strip from the
top of the tool. NEVER try to pull a load
strip from the bottom of the tool.
6. If you are working in an area where
dirt or debris can fall onto the tool
while making fastenings, check the
tool frequently to be sure the muzzle
bushing and loads strip track are clear.
NOTE: Use of partially used load strips.
The design of the Viper tool is such that
the next load to be fired is automatically
indexed into the firing position during
the tool closing, firing and tool opening
sequence of operation. If it is necessary
to use a partially used load strip, the
end of the strip containing the live loads
should be placed into the bottom of the
tool handle just as if it were a new strip.
By counting the number of unfired loads
in the strip before inserting it and keeping
count as the fastenings are being made,
one can easily determine when all of the
loads have been used.
SHOULD YOU DECIDE NOT TO MAKE A
FASTENING AFTER THE TOOL HAS BEEN
LOADED, ALWAYS REMOVE THE POWDER
LOAD FIRST, THEN THE FASTENER. THIS
WILL PREVENT ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGING
