11 103500 Safety Precautions 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. 8. Never pry a power load out of the strip.
12 103500 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.
13 103500 Selecting Power 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 fastener that will actually penetrate the con- crete.
14 103500 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. 3. Select the proper power level of power load strips. Always insert powder strip loads through bottom of handle.
15 103500 Operation 5. Squeeze trigger to set power fastener. Be sure to keep pressure on tool during this operation. 6. Grasp base plate and slide barrel forward rapidly until it stops. Push base plate back into liner to the closed position. This advances the power load strip and resets the piston for the next fastening.
