TRAKFAST REPAIR MANUAL

Rev. 09/07
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always wear EYE and EAR safety gear when
working with or in the vicinity of the TrakFast
tool.
1. Wear eye and ear protection.
2. ALWAYS assume the tool is “loaded”.
3. DON’T treat the TrakFast tool as a toy.
The TrakFast tool is not a toy — it is a tool. Careless
and improper use may result in a serious accident.
4. NEVER carry the tool with your finger on or pressing
the trigger.
This practice may result in the accidental discharge
of a fastener.
5. NEVER operate a malfunctioning tool.
Refer to the service section of this manual to correct
the problem. If the problem cannot be corrected,
report it to your supervisor or ITW Ramset Distribu-
tor Sales Representative.
6. Operate the tool ONLY on the work surface.
7. NEVER remove or disable the lower probe.
This device helps reduce the possibility of accidental
fastener discharge by preventing the tool from oper-
ating until it is completely against the work surface.
NEVER operate the tool if the work lower probe is
not working properly.
8. DO NOT load fasteners with the trigger and/or lower
probe pressed in.
The fastener may be accidently discharged.
9. ALWAYS point the tool away from yourself and oth-
ers when clearing jams or removing fasteners.
Pull the follower slightly back and push the release
lever. Tip the tool nose up slightly and fasteners
should slide out of the rear of the magazine. If fas-
teners are jammed, refer to the appropriate service
section of this manual.
10. NEVER attempt to operate the TrakFast tool if parts
are loose, damaged or missing.
11. DO NOT drive fasteners too close or on top of other
fasteners.
A fastener may ricochet and cause serious injury.
12. NEVER drive fasteners into areas with concealed
hazards.
Always check the area behind the work surface
for electrical wiring, gas pipes, water pipes, sewer
drains or other potential hazards.
13. ALWAYS maintain secure and unobstructed footing
when on ladders, platforms or other high locations.
14. Allow ONLY qualified personnel to operate the Trak-
Fast tool.
DANGER
The TrakFast tool should be operated only when
it is in contact with the work surface.
WARNING
Never overreach, since tool recoil may cause a
loss of balance. Always be aware of edges and
drop-offs. Keep them in full view
DANGER
Only persons who have read and fully under-
stand all tool operation, safety and maintenance
instructions should be allowed to operate the
tool.
