OPERATOR’S

SAFETY & OPERATING

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

DANGER

THIS TOOL FOR USE BY LICENSED OPERATORS ONLY.

READ AND OBEY ALL SAFETY AND OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING TOOL.

SEMI-AUTOMATIC, LOW VELOCITY

PISTON TYPE FASTENING TOOL

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 possibilities and emergencies, nor

can Ramset instructors and printed material detail all possible conditions surrounding

the use of Ramset tools and products.

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

and the employer.

SAFETY INTRODUCTION DANGER

Operator’s and bystanders

must wear eye and hearing

protection.

Never close tool with hand over fastener loading end of the tool.

A serious hand injury from penetration by the piston or a

discharged fastener could result.

Read manual before

operating tool.

DANGER

THIS TOOL IS TO BE USED ONLY BY PROPERLY TRAINED

AND LICENSED OPERATORS.

YOU MUST SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE THE

RAMSET TRAINING PROGRAM FOR THE

TOOL AND OBTAIN A CERTIFIED OPERATOR’S LICENSE

BEFORE HANDLING, LOADING OR OPERATING THIS TOOL.

ATTEMPTING TO HANDLE OR OPERATE THIS TOOL

WITHOUT PROPER TRAINING AND LICENSING CAN RESULT IN

SERIOUS INJURY TO THE OPERATOR OR BYSTANDERS.

DANGER

Preparation

Acceptable Base Materials

Powder actuated fastening is suitable 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.

Center Punch Test

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES

WHEN PERFORMING THIS TEST.

1. Always check the material being

fastened into for hardness 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.

DANGER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER 3

NEVER FASTEN INTO VERY HARD OR

BRITTLE MATERIALS

NEVER FASTEN INTO SOFT MATERIALS

SUCH AS DRYWALL

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 always

select disc loads by 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 eye protection

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 ft. of the area where fastening

is to be done. Sign must state:

“WARNING - Powder Actuated

Tool In Use”. Failure to warn others

may result in serious injury to them.

2. Always load tool using a disc load

selected directly from a box indicating

the power load type and number.

Never attempt to use loose disc

loads that could be mis-identified.

Never carry loose disc 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

rom 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.

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 perpendicular

to and firmly against the work surface

when making a fastening. Failure to do

so could allow a fastener to 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 pulling 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 disc, and put it in a can

of water or other non-flammable liquid.

Never carelessly discard a disc with 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 immediately tag it,

“Danger- defective - do not use”.

Lock

the tool in a tool box and call your local

Ramset distributor for assistance.

FASTENERS

FASTENERS / LOADS

Never use any other types of fasteners or strip loads in the Ramset D60 Tool. Use of other

types of fasteners or loads may cause unintentional load discharge, damage the tool, cause

poor fastening performance, or create a risk of serious injury to the operator or bystanders.

DANGER

LOADS

Ramset disc loads are specially made for use in the Ramset D60 Tool.

The power level of the load is indicated by

the number marked on each box, the color

of the box, and the color on the tip of each

load. As the number increases, the power

level also increases.

Always perform the center punch test

described on page 3 to test the base material.

Always make a test fastening using the lowest

power level first. If more power is required

to set the fastener, use the next higher

power level until the powder level necessary

to drive the fastener is reached.

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 permanent

fastening so attempting to remove a fastener

from concrete or steel may result in 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 recommended,

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 loss of holding value. Fastening

may be made into the horizontal joint but

not into the vertical joint.

Fastening to Steel

Your Ramset tool can be used for fastening

on the flat surfaces of structural steel. When

fastening into steel, always maintain a mini-

mum spacing of 1-1/2” between fastenings

and 1/2” from any edge.

TOOL OPERATION

Daily Function Test

Always check the tool first to make sure

that it does not contain a disc 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 the barrel has opened to the

semi-closed position.

OPERATING THE D60 TOOL

1. After checking to be sure that the

tool is not loaded, point it in a safe

direction and be sure that the barrel

is fully extended. This assures that

the piston is in position for the next

fastening. Use the spall guard every

time possible to minimize the risk of

being struck by flying debris.

2. Slide the barrel to the semi-closed

position. NEVER place your hand,

fingers or any other part of your

body over the muzzle (fastener

loading end) of the tool.

3. 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.

WITH THE POINT OUT

Keep hand away

from muzzle.

4. With the tool barrel closed to the semi-

closed position and finger away from

the trigger, open the cover by pressing

the side button, and insert a load disc

into the slots in the receiver housing.

5. Close the cover and be sure it is locked.

NEVER attempt to make a fastening

with the tool cover in the open or

unlocked position.

6. 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.

7. After making the fastening, with the

“tool pointed in a safe direction, pull

“the barrel fully open. This resets the

piston for the next fastening. Always

keep fingers and other body parts

away from the muzzle end of the

tool.

8. Insert another fastener in the muzzle

end of the tool as before and the tool

is ready for the next fastening. Keep

your finger off of the trigger until the

tool is in position to drive the fastener.

9. To remove a used or partially used

load disc from the tool, open the cover

and lift out the load disc. NEVER try

to remove a jammed or stuck load

disc. Should a “jammed” load disc

occur, call your local Authorized Ramset

Distributor for technical assistance.
