4
Inspect the tool to ensure that the tool is complete, undamaged, and all parts
are secure prior to use. Damaged parts should be replaced using genuine
NITROSET® parts.
Insert the fastener assembly completely into the muzzle to ensure the correct
function of the tool. Fasteners that do not completely insert into the muzzle
should not be used and should be disposed of appropriately.
Never leave a loaded tool unattended. Only load the tool prior to fastening.
The NITROSET® tool should be reset after every actuation to clear any debris
from the nosepiece (muzzle+debris cup) of the tool.
The trigger body and reset sleeve should be held in place when loading a fastener.
Always remove fasteners and any debris from the muzzle prior to cleaning,
servicing, maintenance, or storage of the tool.
Always hold the tool securely and perpendicular to the working surface when
making a fastening.
Use the NITROSET® spall guard with clip to protect against concrete spall.
Please refer to the included Spall Guard Usage Guide.

Operating Instructions
1. Reset the tool before inserting the fastener to ensure the muzzle barrel is
clear of any debris.
2. Insert the fastener fully into the muzzle of the tool. Fasteners must be fully
seated in muzzle to ensure proper actuation.
(Hold reset sleeve while inserting fasteners.)
3. Place the NITROSET® tool perpendicular against the fastening surface.
A) Pull back front of muzzle until reset spring fully collapses.
B) Ensure firing pin guide clears all debris from muzzle chamber
prior to inserting new fastener assembly.
In case of jammed fasteners – Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide (Page 11) for
proper removal of all jammed fasteners.
Loading and Actuating Instructions
9
If the fastener assembly cannot be inserted into the muzzle, do not force the
fastener into the muzzle. This can jam the fastener in the tool and damage
the fastener. Fasteners that cannot be inserted should be removed and
discarded appropriately.
Fasteners should not be driven close to the edge of the base
substrate.
Always maintain a distance of at least 3" from the concrete
edge or 1" from the steel edge.
Too close to edge
Cracked concrete may actuate loudly when using the tool.

WWW.NITROSET.COM
Operating Instructions
The use of NITROSET® pole is recommended for maximum eciency on ceiling
fastening applications. The end of the wire assembly should be placed inside the
pole for better control. Actuate by following the actuating instructions as detailed.
Using NITROSET® Tool with a NITROSET® Pole
10
When using an electrically conductive or metallic pole, be sure to maintain a
minimum 10 ft clearance from all electrical lines to avoid electrical hazard.
WARNING
4. Position the tool and push directly to feel the engagement of the firing
spring. Follow with a smooth and forceful motion to compress the firing
spring to trigger the firing mechanism. This is the correct fastening
procedure to minimize spalling and noise.
5. Reset the tool to ensure the muzzle barrel is clear of debris and repeat
Steps 1 to 4 for further use.
If the tool fails to fasten, remove the spent fastener assembly while pointing
the tool away from yourself and any bystanders.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT BOUNCE FIRE THE TOOL!

WWW.NITROSET.COM

DO NOTs
12

A) If cycling the tool does not clear the jammed fastener, remove the
nosepiece completely. The jammed fastener can then be removed
from the other end.
B) DO NOT strike the tool against the substrate to dislodge the fastener.
C) If the fastener remains permanently jammed, please contact the
appropriate support personnel.
A) Check if you are fastening to the appropriate substrate material.
B) Check the nosepiece is free of debris and reset the tool.
C) Check if the correct adapter is being used (Refer to Adapter Usage
Table on Page 6).
D) Ensure the tool is assembled properly according to the manual and
instructions.
E) Before firing, make sure the nosepiece is perpendicular (right angle) to
the material surface. The tool is not designed to fasten at other angles.
F) Check if the firing pin is piercing the NITROSET pill. If it's piercing the
pill and not firing, then check for damage to the firing pin. Replace
firing pin if damaged.

Cleaning Procedure 18
It is recommended that the NITROSET® tool be cleaned every day after use.
Proper maintenance and cleaning of the tool enables the tool to operate at
peak performance.
1. First, be sure all fastener assemblies and debris are ejected from the tool by
resetting it pointed away from yourself or any bystanders.
2. Remove the debris cup by unscrewing it from the reset sleeve. Then, remove
the end cap and disassemble the entire tool following the tool disassembly
instructions (Page 14).
3. Empty the debris cup.
4. To clean, use a diluted industrial degreaser or cleaner similar to Strike-Hold
(provided in tool kit) or other similar non-oil base degreaser to spray or wipe
the tool surface and threads. Allow contact time of 3 to 5 minutes before
scrubbing. Wipe off excess cleaning agent and allow tool to fully dry before
reassembly.
5. Re-assemble the tool (Page 15). For long term storage, thread the nosepiece
halfway to prevent debris build up from forming rust on the fine thread.
NITROSET® Tool Full Cleaning Procedure
1. Empty the debris cup after every 500 fastenings, or as needed to optimize
performance.
2. A liquid shot of degreaser lubricant at approximately every 500 to 1000
fastenings is recommended to maintain a smooth operation.
3. This will help tool performance and actuating consistency, making your
end-of-day cleaning easier.
