KNOW YOUR FASTENING BASE MATERIAL
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 power fastener impression and the power fastener point is not blunted. ALWAYS start with the lowest power load (Gray- Level 1) and proceeding with the order shown in the lower right-hand figure above. 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.

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 hazard from flying particles.
3. NEVER make fastenings in spalled or cracked areas.
4. NEVER drive power fasteners into thin or easily penetrated
material 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.
5. DO NOT fasten through or within 1/2" of predrilled or pre-
punched holes.

Safety Precautions
6. Power fasteners are a permanently installed fixture. An
act of demolition is required for their removal. Appropriate safety precautions must be taken.
ers. Remington® Power Fasteners are manufactured from special steel and heat treated to produce a very hard, yet ductile, fastener.
8. NEVER pry a power load out of the chamber. Prying can
discharge the load causing serious injury (see Trouble- shooting Guide on pages 19 and 20).
9. ALWAYS
insert the power fastener first, then the power
load. If work is interrupted for any reason, ALWAYS remove the power load before removing the power fastener (see page 15, item 8).

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 power 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, penetration 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 power fastener penetration. NEVER have the power fastener point protrude thru the concrete.
NOTE: Concrete needs to cure for 28 days before maxi mum 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.
Recommended applications are between 3/16-3/8" steel.
NOTE:
When fastening in steel be sure the point goes thru
the steel.

Selecting Power
OVERDRIVE
Fasteners and
Power Loads
FASTENING INTO CONCRETE
The proper power fastener length can be determined by adding the thickness of the material to be fastened and the amount of power fastener that will actually penetrate the concrete. The concrete must be three times as thick as the intended power fastener penetration. In most cases, penetration should be ap­proximately 1" to 1 1/4" into the base concrete material.
FASTENING INTO STEEL
The proper power fastener length can be determined by adding the thick­ness of the material to be fastened and the thickness of the steel. The point of the power fastener must go completely through the steel.
POWER LOADS
Always start with the lowest power level (gray-level 1). If the first test power fastener does not penetrate to the desired depth, move to the next highest power level (brown-level 2). Increase until a proper fastening is made. IMPORTANT: Damage to the tool will result if the above instruc­tions are not followed (see illustra­tions to right and lower right).
OVERDRIVEN POWER FASTENERS AND PISTON
An overdriven power fastener re­sults when too strong of a power load is used causing the piston to extend past the muzzle. Move to the next lightest power load. Repeated overdrive will damage your tool. By avoiding overdrive, you can extend the life of your tool considerably.
NOTE: NEVER
a power fastener. This can damage the tool and/or cause possible injury to the operator.

Safety ON
1.
ALWAYS place safety ON/OFF switch in the SAFETY ON
position before inserting power fastener and power load.
2.
Grasp muzzle and slide barrel forward rapidly until it stops. This sets piston into firing position and opens the chamber.
3. Insert power fastener into muzzle of tool, head end first.
Push the power fastener until point is even with end of tool.
ALWAYS load the power fastener first, then the power load.
4. Select the proper Remington® Power Load (see Application
Chart on pages 20 and 21) and insert into the chamber until it stops. NOTE: Failure to start with the lowest power level can result in overdrive condition and will result in damage to the tool (see page 13).

without tilting the tool. Push tool against work surface until sliding action of barrel stops.
Safety OFF
7. Before squeezing trigger, rotate safety ON/OFF switch to
the SAFETY OFF position. Squeeze trigger to set power fastener. Be sure to keep pressure on tool during this op­eration.
IMPORTANT: When tool is not in use, ALWAYS rotate
safety ON/OFF switch to the SAFETY ON position.
8. After fastening is made, slide barrel forward rapidly. This
motion ejects the spent power load and resets the piston for the next fastening. Make sure spent load has ejected from tool.
