TOOL OPERATION
Daily Function Test
Always check the tool first to make sure
that it does not contain a strip 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 that the barrel has opened to the semi-
open position.
OPERATING THE RAMSET
COBRA 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 and then close the tool to the
semi-closed position. 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. 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 require, inspect 
the barrel to find out why the fastener 
is not entering the muzzle freely. DO
NOT continue loading unless the 
problem is corrected.
3. With the tool pointed in a safe 
direction and finger away from the 
trigger, insert a load strip into the 
bottom of the handle and push it in 
until your finger is in firm contact with
the handle recess.
