Safety
Safety should always be the first priority when
using the Ramset™Powder Actuated (P.A.) system.
Because an explosive charge is involved, the whole
work area must be made safe before work is begun.
General Safety
The tool should never be available to unauthorised
users. When not in use it should be kept in a
lockable container. As a precaution, people who
are less than 18 years old should not operate
powder actuated tools.
To minimise the risk of unintentional firing:
• Never place a hand or any other part of the
body over the fastener guide, whether the tool
is loaded or unloaded.
• Never point the tool at anything other than the
materials to be fastened.
• Only load the tool at the place where it will be
used and when it is ready for immediate use
• Always unload the tool before it is moved
• Always unload the tool before it is laid down.
• Always point the barrel at the ground until firing,
Always display a suitable warning notice, in a
clearly visible location, showing Powder Actuated
(P.A.) Tools will be used in the area. This
notice should conform to relevant government
regulations. Available from Ramset™. (Part No.
PAWS8 “CAUTION - EXPLOSIVE POWERED
TOOL IN USE”).
Always wear suitable hearing and eye protection
to Australian Standards as listed in AS1873. Any
other people nearby must also be wearing hearing
and eye protection.
Keep other people away from the immediate
vicinity of the firing place, (6 metres).

Keep the Power Loads away from all other metal

the same container or packet) excessive heat and
other explosive materials.
The Power Loads are designed for use in
Ramset™Powder Actuated (P.A.) tools. Power
Loads must never be used in firearms. Any
attempts to do so may cause injury.
Never place your hand over the fastener guide,
even without a fastener, when the tool is actuated
the piston may extend out of the barrel by up to
15mm. Even without a piston in the tool the high
pressure gases can be dangerous.
ALWAYS UnLOAD A Powder Actuated (P.A.)
TOOL WHEn nOT In USE
Make sure the tool is at right-angles (90°) in
both directions, to the working surface. If used
at the incorrect angle, the fired fastener may
unintentionally ricochet off the work surface.
To avoid a risk of injury to yourself or to others,
Powder Actuated (P.A.) tools must never be fired
at any angle other than 90° to the work surface.
Always have your body directly behind the tool,
to make sure it is correctly aligned, and never use
the tool with extended reach.
Do not depress the tool in any manner except
against the work surface, even when inserting a
drive pin or threaded stud into the fastener guide
of a Powder Actuated (P.A.) Tool.
