IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION SELECTING FASTENERS AND LOADS This manual describes the proper use of the PTM-27 and PTM-27HD and the safe operating procedures for them; however, THINKING IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. You must understand ALL operating principles, safety features and fastening limitations of these tools, to use them without risk of serious injury or death to yourself or bystanders. 2.

SELECTING FASTENERS AND LOADS -15- BASE MATERIAL SUITABILITY Before fastening into any material, give it the center punch test. Using the fastener as a punch, and a hammer, strike a solid blow to the actual material you wish to fasten into. If the point of the fastener is blunted the material is too hard and is unsuitable. If the material cracks or shatters it is too brittle and is unsuitable. If the fastener sinks into the material with the hammer blow, the material is too soft and is unsuitable.
PAGE 6
MAKING SAFE FASTENINGS WARNING 3. Thickness of base material is perhaps the most important consideration for good safe fastenings. In concrete the thickness must be 3 times the shank penetration, in other words, for 1" of shank the concrete must be at least 3" thick. In steel thickness must be equal to or greater than the diameter of the shank. STUDY AND UNDERSTAND THESE RULES BEFORE OPERATING THESE TOOLS. Before Loading and Firing 1.

MAKING SAFE FASTENINGS YOUR RESPONSIBILTY There is no substitute for good common sense; however, knowing and understanding the following basic rules will help ensure safe use of Simpson Strong-Tie tools. A. TRAINING 1. Remember you must obtain certification of training from an authorized Simpson Strong-Tie instructor. If such training is not available where you purchased the tool, call or write Simpson Strong-Tie before attempting to operate the tool for information on the nearest authorized instructor.

5. Depress the tool firmly against the work surface using both hands. Make certain you hold the tool perpendicular to the work. The tool is now in the firing position, if you have followed ALL safety precautions, pull the trigger. WARNING 6. After making the fastening, lift the tool off the work surface and pull the nose piece sharply forward, or flip the tool open with a snap of the wrist. This action resets the piston and prepares it for the next load. © Copyright 2004 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE COMPANY INC.
