TRAKFAST TOOL OPERATING MANUAL
This manual is intended to acquaint you with Ramset’s TrakFast tool . Unlike other power
fastening tools, the TrakFast tool is powered by an linear internal combustion motor . In
simpler terms, your TrakFast tool is powered by a motor similar to the one that powers an
automobile . The tool ignites a fuel and air mixture to produce the energy to drive the motor,
which in turn drives the fastener . As you will see, the TrakFast tool is totally self-contained .
It carries its own fuel supply and battery, along with a supply of fasteners .
For ease of use, this manual is divided into sections (see Table of Contents) . Each section
of the manual is written with you, the tool operator, in mind . We have left out all of the
technical terms so that you can readily understand how to get the maximum performance
from your TrakFast tool, and how to avoid damaging the tool or injuring yourself . But, to
accomplish this, we need you to do two things:
1. READ THE MANUAL FROM COVER TO COVER BEFORE USING THE TOOL.
2. FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THE MANUAL.
The TrakFast tool should be handled like other power fastening tools that you use . When
used properly, it will meet your fastening needs . And, like most of your tools, when used
improperly it can cause injury . If you are going to allow others to use the TrakFast tool, it is
your responsibility to make sure that they also read and comply with the instructions in this
manual before attempting to operate the tool .
Should you have questions about the TrakFast system, or wish to obtain additional copies
of this manual, please feel free to contact your Ramset Distributor Sales Representative .
