GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURES OF THE PTM-27 AND PTM-27HD
1. Always point the tool away from yourself and all bystanders.
2. Never place your hand over the front (muzzle) end of the tool.
3. An accidental discharge will seriously injure your hand.
4. Always hold the tool perpendicular to the work surface making certain
that NO debris is present on the surface.
5. Never set a fastener too close to another set fastener, as this can
cause a ricochet.
6. Never fasten less than 3" from the edge of concrete, or less than 1/2"
from the edge of steel.
7. Never fasten into rough, spalled, cracked or uneven concrete. Fasten
at least 3" from the outer edge of a spalled area.
8. Never fasten into material which is too hard such as hardened steel, welds,
cast steel, marble, spring steel, natural rock, etc. This could cause the
fastener to shatter and escape and result in serious injury or death.
9. Never fasten into material which is too brittle such as glass, glazed
brick, glazed tile, slate, etc. This could cause the material to shatter
and result in serious injury or death.
10. Never fasten into material, which is too soft such as wood, plaster,
drywall composition board, plywood, etc. This could cause the fastener
to pass through and escape resulting in serious injury or death.
11. Never fasten into a concrete base material less than 3 times the shank
penetration of the fastener. Never fasten into a steel base material
less than the shank diameter of the fastening being used. Fastening
into any base material, which is too thin, may allow the fastener to
pass through and escape resulting in serious injury or death.
12. Never attempt to fasten through a disc, use only pre-assembled
fasteners and disc (PDPW-series) when a disc is required.
13. Never fasten through an existing hole in any material as the fastener
could hit the edge of the hole and ricochet.
14. If you decide not to make a fastening after having loaded the tool,
remove both the power load and fastener from the tool before
returning it to its case.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE ANY OF THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT
IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOURSELF OR A BYSTANDER.
WARNING
WARNING
Never place your hand over the nose piece of the tool unless inserting a
fastener and only then with the tool fully open and the chamber empty!
5. Depress the tool firmly against
the work surface using both
hands. Make certain you hold the
tool perpendicular to the work.
The tool is now in the firing
position, if you have followed
ALL safety precautions, pull
the trigger.
6. After making the fastening, lift
the tool off the work surface and
pull the nose piece sharply
forward, or flip the tool open
with a snap of the wrist. This
action resets the piston and
prepares it for the next load.
7. To remove the spent strip loads,
grasp the strip firmly and pull
upwards in a smooth motion.
