Repeated overdrive will damage your tool. By avoiding overdrive, you can ex- tend the life of your tool considerably.
16 LOADING THE POWERHAMMER 1. Insert the proper fastener into the muzzle, round metal head first. Push fastener until the point is even with the end of the muzzle. 2. Grab the muzzle and pull forward until it stops. This sets the piston and opens the chamber area.
