DANGER

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 pos-

sibilities and emergencies, nor can ITW Ramset/Red Head instructors and printed

material detail all possible conditions surrounding the use of ITW Ramset/Red Head

tools and products.

Responsibility for the safe and proper use of this tool rests with the tool

user and the employer.

DANGER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Preparation

Acceptable Base Materials

Powder actuated fastening is suit-

able for use in the following base

materials only:

• Poured Concrete

• Structural Steel

• Masonry Joints ( see page 8)

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.

NEVER FASTEN INTO VERY

HARD OR BRITTLE MATERIALS

NEVER FASTEN INTO SOFT

MATERIALS SUCH AS DRYWALL

Center Punch Test

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES

WHEN PERFORMING THIS TEST.

1. Always check the material

being fastened into for hard-

ness 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 al-

ways select loads by load 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 safety

goggles 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’ of the area where fastening is

to be done. Sign must state:

“Caution- Powder Actuated Tool

In Use”. Failure to warn others may

result in serious injury to them. Con-

tact ITW Ramset/ Red Head at

Tool Handling Safety

1. Always be sure tool is operating

properly before attempting to

use it. Follow the “Daily

Function Check” shown to the

right and described on page 9.

2. Always load tool using a power

load selected directly from a box

indicating the power load type

and number. Never attempt to use

loose loads that could be

mis-identified.

3. Never carry loose loads in

pockets with pins or other hard

objects.

4. Never load a tool unless you

intend to immediately make a

fastening. Loading a tool and

leaving it unattended in the work

area can result in the tool being

accidentally discharged by others.

5. Never place your hand or any

other body part over the fastener

loading end of the tool. Serious

hand injury could result from being

struck by either a fastener or the tool

piston should the tool be accidentally

fired.

6. Always store the tool unloaded

and keep the tool and the loads

securely locked in a tool box.

Keep keys away from children

and unlicensed persons.

7. Always keep the tool pointed

away from yourself and others.

8. Never carry a loaded tool around

the work area.

9. Never allow anyone not trained to

use the tool.

10.Never engage in horseplay with

the tool.

11.Using the tool in poorly ventilated

areas, cleaning tool or handling

loads may result in exposure to

lead or other substances known

to cause birth defects, and other

physical harm. Have adequate

ventilation at all times and wash

thoroughly after exposure.

ALWAYS DO A DAILY

FUNCTION CHECK BEFORE

LOADING THE TOOL

NEVER LOAD THE TOOL UNLESS

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 perpendic-

ular to and firmly against the

work surface when making a

fastening. Failure to do so could

allow a fastenerto 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 pull-

ing the trigger, continue to hold the

depressed tool against the work

surface for at least 30 seconds. Then

carefully open the tool, remove the load,

and put it in a can of water or other non-

flammable liquid. Never carelessly

discard 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 immedi-

ately tag it, “Danger-defective-do not

use”. Lock the tool in a tool box and call

your local Ramset Distributor for assist-

ance.

FASTENING APPLICATIONS

Your Ramset tool can be used for a wide

range of fastening needs in a variety of

base materials. Reading and following

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 perm-

enant fastenings so attempting to

remove a fastener from concrete or

steel may result in a 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. The

primary exception to the 3" edge

distance can occur in a sill plate

application where, by necessity, the

edge distance is reduced.

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 Concrete Block or

to Masonry Walls

While this application is not recom-

mended, when used, it is necessary to

take care to observe a 3” edge distance

to avoid cracking the block and over

penetration of the fastener to avoid a

loss of holding value. Fastenings may be

made into the horizontal joint but not into

the vertical joint.

TOOL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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.

SLIDE THE BARREL

FORWARD

INSERT FASTENER INTO THE

MUZZLE END OF THE TOOL

WITH THE POINT OUT

OPERATING THE M70 TOOL

1. After checking to be sure that

the tool is not loaded, point it in a

safe direction and pull the barrel

open with a quick forward

motion.This action positions the

piston in preparation for the next

fastening. Use the spall guard every

time possible to minimize the risk of

being struck by flying debris.

2. With finger off the trigger, 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. With the tool pointed in a safe

direction, the barrel fully open, and

your finger away from the trigger,

make sure the chamber is clear

and insert a load into the tool

chamber. Always start with the #1,

gray power level. If the #1 load does

not fully set the fastener, try the

next higher power level until the

proper power level is found.

INSERT A LOAD INTO THE

TOOL CHAMBER

WITH EMPTY, UNLOADED TOOL

TOOL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

4. Slide the barrel back to the semi-

closed position. Never attempt to

close the tool by exerting force on

the front end of the barrel. Never

place your hand, fingers or any

other body part over the fastener

loading end of the tool.

5. Hold the tool perpendicular (90°) to

the work surface with both hands

and press firmly to fully depress the

tool. Maintain firm downward

pressure on the tool with both

hands and pull the trigger to drive

the fastener. DO NOT DEPRESS

THE TOOL AGAINST ANYTHING

OTHER THAN THE INTENDED

WORK SURFACE. Holding the tool

firmly in place will produce more

consistent fastening quality and

minimize tool wear or damage.

6. After making the fastening, point the

tool in a safe direction, and pull the

barrel forward to cause the barrel

to move to the open position. This

action ejects the fired load case and

properly resets the piston for the

next fastening. Should a fired load

fail to eject, open and close the tool

several times to loosen the load in

the chamber, then remove the load

with your fingers. Never attempt to

pry an unfired load out of the

tool chamber. The load could be

caused to discharge resulting in a

serious injury or death to the tool

operator or to a bystander.

7. Insert another fastener in the

muzzle end of the tool before

inserting a new powder load into the

chamber. Always insert the

fastener into the tool before

inserting the powder load. Keep

your finger off of the trigger until the

tool is in position to drive the

fastener.

Never carelessly discard or

throw unfired powder loads into

a trash container.
