4. To make a fastening, place the tool against the work surface.
Hold the tool firmly with two hands and completely depress the
barrel. Then squeeze the trigger. Always hold
the tool perpendicular to the work surface.
Hold the tool firmly against the work surface
to avoid excessive recoil. Never depress the
tool against anything except the work
surface. NOTE: In the event that the load does not discharge after
the trigger is pulled, continue to hold the tool depressed against
the work surface for at least 30 (thirty) seconds in case of a
delayed load discharge. Then carefully remove the entire load strip
and dispose of it in a can of water or other non flammable liquid.
Never attempt to force or pry a load out of a tool chamber. Do not
discard unfired loads into a trash container.
5. To prepare for the next fastening, point the
tool in a safe direction. Always insert a new
fastener before loading or advancing the
powder load strip. Insert the fastener as
described in step 1. Once the fastener is
inserted, cycle the tool as described in step 2. Repeat this procedure
for subsequent fastenings. When the ten load strip has been
completely fired, remove it by pulling it from the top of the tool body.
NOTE: Do not attempt to unload or disassemble a jammed,
stuck or broken tool as improper handling may cause it to
discharge and strike the operator and/or bystander. A jammed
tool must be pointed in a safe direction at all times. Tag the tool
and lock it up. Call your Powers Fasteners representative for
proper assistance.
Proper Maintenance & Cleaning
MAKE SURE THE TOOL IS NOT LOADED. BE
SURE THE TOOL IS NOT HOT PRIOR TO
ATTEMPTING DISASSEMBLY OR CLEANING.
DAILY FUNCTION TEST
Check the functioning of the tool, without a powder load or
fastener in the tool, by pushing down against the work surface,
pulling the trigger, and releasing the tool from the work surface.
Function the unloaded tool several times and insure that the
breech parts and firing mechanism operate freely before
fastening with the tool.
Your Powers Fasteners Authorized representative should be
asked to assist the first time you disassemble and clean your
tool. If you ever have any trouble reassembling the tool, or have
any doubt about worn parts, call your Powers Fasteners
Authorized Powder Distributor.
CLEANING
AIl parts should be cleaned with detergent oil and the wire
brushes supplied with your tool kit. Remove heavy dirt build-up
with the brush. After cleaning with oil, all parts should be wiped
thoroughly dry. Excess oil will tend to collect dirt and dust. Wear
eye protection when cleaning the tool. The piston rod, barrel
assembly, and receiver should all be cleaned of excess dirt on a
daily basis. Check the condition of the piston for damage from
wear and deformation.
To maintain this tool in good working condition, it is
necessary to disas semble and clean the entire tool if dirt is
evident in the breech face, or if the tool appears to lose power.
All parts should be cleaned with oil and wire brushes. Remove
heavy dirt. All parts should be wiped thoroughly dry after
cleaning with oil.

CAT. NO.52000/Deluxe Kit
General tool mainte nance should be performed at six month
intervals or more frequently as required by the frequency of tool use.
REPLACING OR REPAIRING THE PISTON
The piston is an expendable part and
must be replaced periodically. Typical signs
of a worn out piston are: breaking,
bending or mushrooming.
Prior to servicing the tool make sure there
is no powder load in the tool. Use caution
and do not lose or damage any tool parts.
1. Using a pin, lift the end of the annular
ball spring and rotate toward the top of
the tool body. Pull the piston stop back
and out of the tool.
2. Slide the piston guide and baseplate
assembly out of the tool.
3. Using a fastener, pry the shear clip off
the baseplate. Replace the shear clip if it is
damaged.
4. Remove the baseplate from the piston
guide, then pull the piston out of the guide.
REASSEMBLY:
5. Tilt the baseplate and slide the fastener
guide out. Press the guide out of the
baseplate using a piston if it does not slide
out freely. Replace the guide if it is damaged.
6. Clean the piston using a wire brush.
Inspect it for worn or damaged piston ring,
chipped end, or bending. Apply lubricant to
the piston shank to minimize piston
sticking from an overdrive con dition. Wipe
the piston dry.
7. If a piston tip is damaged, it can be
shortened a maximum of 0.20 inches. The
tip of the piston should be ground flat and
at 90 degrees to the shank of the piston.
The cham fer of the piston must also be
reground as shown. Piston grinding should
be performed by qualified per sonnel using
the proper equipment.
8. Press the piston into the end of the
piston guide. Be sure to push it all the way
back into the guide. Ensure piston is
positioned correctly in piston guide.
9. Insert the fastener guide into the baseplate.
10. Align the groove in both the piston
guide and baseplate. Slide the baseplate
(with fastener guide) onto the piston guide.
Press the shear clip into place. Insert the
piston guide and baseplate assembly into the
liner in the tool body. Be sure to align the
groove with the opening for the piston stop.
11. Replace the piston stop and rotate the annular spring into place.
Upon reassembly of the tool perform the following test.
Depress the tool against a flat, hard surface and pull the trigger.
The barrel assembly should slide smoothly inside the tool
housing assembly. The firing pin should release after the trigger
has been pulled.
CAUTION: THIS TEST SHOULD BE PERFORMED
WITHOUT A PIN OR POWDER LOAD IN THE TOOL.
