The Ramset™Powder Actuated (P.A.) Fastening System
The Ramset™ Powder Actuated (P.A.) Fastening
System, also known as the explosive powered
tool system, is an innovative approach to fastening
construction materials to concrete, steel or brick.
By using a controlled power load to deliver the
fastener directly to the materials, it eliminates the
need for drilling, plugging and bolting etc.
The latest Ramset™ P.A. tools - FrameBoss™,
FormMaster™, FrameMaster™ (TS750P),
JobMaster™, TyMaster™, FixMaster™ (TS60P),
Rocket, InsulFast™ and DekMaster™ - use the
new low velocity indirect acting system to deliver a
powerful strike on the fastener.
The low velocity indirect acting system allows
more control over the power supplied to the
fastener as the driving action stops when all the
energy is consumed in fastening, or when the
piston reaches the end of its stroke. This limits
the potential free-flight (projectile) velocity of the
fastener. This is one of the ways in which the
Ramset™ indirect acting P.A. system is designed
to limit the risk of injury provided that the tool is
operated correctly.

Safety
Safety should always be the first priority when
using the Ramset™ Powder Actuated (P.A.) system.
Because an explosive charge is involved, the whole
work area must be made safe before work is begun.
General Safety
The tool should never be available to unauthorised
users. When not in use it should be kept in a
lockable container. As a precaution, people who
are less than 18 years old should not operate
powder actuated tools.
To minimise the risk of unintentional firing:
• Never place a hand or any other part of the
body over the fastener guide, whether the tool
is loaded or unloaded.
• Never point the tool at anything other than the
materials to be fastened.
• Only load the tool at the place where it will be
used and when it is ready for immediate use
• Always unload the tool before it is moved
• Always unload the tool before it is laid down.
• Always point the barrel at the ground until firing,
Always display a suitable warning notice, in a
clearly visible location, showing Powder Actuated
(P.A.) Tools will be used in the area. This
notice should conform to relevant government
regulations. Available from Ramset™. (Part No.
PAWS8 “CAUTION - EXPLOSIVE POWERED
TOOL IN USE”).
Always wear suitable hearing and eye protection
to Australian Standards as listed in AS1873. Any
other people nearby must also be wearing hearing
and eye protection.
Keep other people away from the immediate
vicinity of the firing place, (6 metres).
WARNING:
NEVER PLACE
HAND OVER
FASTENER
GUIDE
ALWAYS WEAR HEARING AND EYE
PROTECTION
Always check the barrel is free of obstructions
before loading.
ALWAYS CALL “FIRING” IMMEDIATELY
BEFORE FIRING A TOOL, TO ALERT PEOPLE
NEARBY.
Keep the Power Loads away from all other metal
objects, (do not carry pins and Power Loads in
the same container or packet) excessive heat and
other explosive materials.
The Power Loads are designed for use in
Ramset™ Powder Actuated (P.A.) tools. Power
Loads must never be used in firearms. Any
attempts to do so may cause injury.
Never place your hand over the fastener guide,
even without a fastener, when the tool is actuated
the piston may extend out of the barrel by up to
15mm. Even without a piston in the tool the high
pressure gases can be dangerous.
ALWAYS UNLOAD A Powder Actuated (P.A.)
TOOL WHEN NOT IN USE
Make sure the tool is at right-angles (90°) in
both directions, to the working surface. If used
at the incorrect angle, the fired fastener may
unintentionally ricochet off the work surface.
To avoid a risk of injury to yourself or to others,
Powder Actuated (P.A.) tools must never be fired
at any angle other than 90° to the work surface.
Always have your body directly behind the tool,
to make sure it is correctly aligned, and never use
the tool with extended reach.
Do not depress the tool in any manner except
against the work surface, even when inserting a
drive pin or threaded stud into the fastener guide
of a Powder Actuated (P.A.) Tool.
NEVER DEPRESS THE FASTENER GUIDE OF
A TOOL WITH YOUR HAND
ONLY EVER DEPRESS THE FASTENER
GUIDE OF A P.A. TOOL AGAINST THE
WORK SURFACE

Instruction Manual
What to do if a
P.A. Tool Misfires
IF A TOOL MISFIRES, CONTINUE TO HOLD
THE TOOL AGAINST THE WORK SURFACE
FOR A MINIMUM OF 10 SECONDS.
(Regulations in the UK require that the tool be
held against the work surface for a minimum of
30 seconds). After this time release the tool
from the work surface but continue to point the
fastener guide towards the work surface. Remove
the power load or power load strip as per normal
operation. If the power load strip can be removed
normally without any unusual effort or force;
return the power load or entire power load strip
to supplier/Ramset™ in a safe manner. If the
power load cannot be extracted from the tool in
the usual manner return the entire tool and power
load/s in an enclosed metal container. If a tool
misfires repeatedly over consecutive power load
strips, then the tool should be returned for service
with the power load strip immediately.
What to do if the strip
is not indexing
consistently
Return tool to Ramset™ immediately for
inspection/service.
In these circumstances NEVER send these items
through the post.
What to do if a
P.A. Tool Jams
In the event that a tool becomes jammed, (which
can be identified by the barrel remaining in the
most rearward position even when the tool is
removed from the work surface). This situation is
also evident by the fastener guide not protruding
from the front of the tool. The following steps
should be taken.
If the power load enclosed by the barrel has
been detonated then an attempt may be made to
release the barrel as described in the section of
this booklet entitled “Tool Maintenance”. If this is
not successful then the tool should be returned to
Ramset™ in the manner stipulated below.
If the power load enclosed by the barrel has
NOT been detonated then it is important that
no attempt be made to cycle the tool. Extreme
care should be taken where the tool is pointing
and hands should be kept well clear of the front
section of the tool. Return the entire tool and
power load/s in an enclosed metal container to
supplier/Ramset™.
In these circumstances NEVER send these items
through the post.

Operational Safety
Ramset™ Low Velocity Powder Actuated (P.A.)
Tools are designed for the following applications:
1. Setting drive pins through material (wood,
light gauge metal, hardboard, insulation etc) into
masonry materials or steel greater than
4 millimetres thick.
2. Setting threaded studs into masonry materials
or steel greater than 4 millimetres thick, for the
attachment of pre-drilled material (wood, metal,
plastics, insulation etc) with a nut and washer.
Never use a Powder Actuated (P.A.) Tool:
• In the presence of any explosive or flammable
gas, dust, or vapour. Do not use a P.A. Tool in
these circumstances.
• In a compressed atmosphere such as a
pressurised vessel. Do not use a P.A. Tool in
these circumstances.
• Where the charge may be made dangerous by
the presence of excessive heat, (temperatures
above 50°C). Do not use a P.A. Tool in these
circumstances.
Fasteners should not be driven into BRICK,
CONCRETE etc:
• Closer than 75mm to an edge or hole
• If the material is less than 100mm thick, or less
than three times the shank penetration into the
base material, which ever is the lesser.
• Closer than 150mm to a failed fastener.
• Closer than 75mm to another fastener.
Fasteners should not be driven into STEEL:
• Closer than 13mm to an edge.
• Closer than 25mm to another fastener.
• Closer than 100mm to a heat affected zone
such as a weld.
• If the steel is less than 4mm thick, unless for
fastening into thinner steel, the shank diameter
of the fastener is less than the thickness of the
steel.
• Never use wood, fibreboard, plaster or any soft
material, including mortar, as the base material,
unless the material is backed by steel
Never fire fasteners:
• Into brittle or hard materials such as glazed brick,
tile, terracotta, marble, granite, slate or glass
• Into hardened steel, high-tensile steel, cast iron,
heat-treated steel
• Into pressurised vessels such as gas bottles or
compressed air cylinders
• Into a spalled area in masonry where a fastener
has failed, or
• Into an existing hole unless the tool has been
fitted with a Ramset™ alignment device.
Spall Shield
A spall shield is available and can be easily
attached when required to prevent small
fragments of concrete being propelled towards
the user.
Test for Suitability of Base Material
If there is a doubt as to the suitability of a base
material, the following simple test should be
performed prior to any fixings being attempted
with the Ramset™ tool. (This test is particularly
useful when fixing into steel of an unknown
hardness/composition).
1. Using a Ramset™ Powder Actuated fastener
as a centre punch with a standard hammer
attempt to make a mark on the base material.
2. Inspect the point of the powder actuated
fastener for damage.
3. If the base material has dulled/flattened the
point of the Powder Actuated fastener then NO
attempt should be made to fire the Ramset™
tool into the base material. If the fastener remains
intact and has made an impression in the base
material then a trial fixing may be attempted.

Instruction Manual
Fastener Selection
Drive pins and threaded studs are the fasteners
used in Ramset™ Powder Actuated (P.A.) tools.
Drive pins are best suited to general fastening and
the length of the pin that should be used is an
important factor.
Threaded studs are best used when additional
fixtures will be attached to the surface and may
need to be removable. The length of the thread is
an important consideration as well as the length
of the stud.
It is unsafe to use any other fasteners than those
that are recommended for use in a particular tool.
The selection of the correct fastener depends on
the material the fixture is being fastened to and
the thickness of the fixture.
Attaching fixtures to steel
It is important for the drive pin or threaded stud
to fully penetrate the steel to provide maximum
holding strength for a pull-out load.
THE GUIDE FOR FIXING TO STEEL IS:
For steels of 4mm to 8mm, the required
length is calculated by adding together
the fixture thickness, the thickness of the
steel, and adding 6mm (to allow for full
penetration).
For steel over 8mm, the required length is
calculated by adding 12mm to the fixture
thickness.
Attaching fixtures to concrete
It is important for the drive pin or threaded stud
to become sufficiently embedded in the concrete
for the attachment to be successful. The depth of
embedment required is calculated by multiplying
the diameter of the shank of the pin or stud by a
factor of 6 to 8 times. The depth of embedment is
generally 22mm to 30mm for standard Ramset™
LDU (3.8mm shank) pins.
The required length for a drive pin or threaded
stud is calculated as the thickness of the fixture
plus the depth of embedment.
THE GUIDE FOR FIXING TO CONCRETE IS:
• fixture thickness + 25mm,
• then select the closest size which is
equal or longer.
Fastening through a disc
On occasions a disc, or washer, is used to
give the fastener a larger head to increase its
effectiveness on softer materials such as wood,
light gauge metals and non-metals. It may also be
used to give a larger clamping area.
They are also used when fixing to concrete to
reduce the spall area, cover what spall area is left
and eliminate spall fragments.
Using a washer greatly increases the life of the
piston in a Low Velocity Tool.

Powder Actuated (P.A.) tools
MEDIUM (yellow) - can be used with all Ramset™
Powder Actuated (P.A.) tools
STRONG (red) - can be used with all Ramset™
Powder Actuated (P.A.) tools
NOTE: For special applications; other charges
may be available on request
The FrameBoss™, Rocket, TwistLok™,
FormMaster™ and TyMaster™ tools use a strip
of power loads while the JobMaster™ uses
individual power loads.
To find the most appropriate power load for
the job, use the green/weakest power load and
set the power adjustment, if applicable, to the
minimum setting. Gradually increase power and
load strength as required to obtain a suitable
fixing.
Other Power Controls
The FrameBoss™, Rocket,
FrameMaster™ (TS750P), FixMaster™ (TS60P)
and FormMaster™ tools also have the feature
of variable power adjustment. This provides
the operator with more control over the power
delivered to the fastener.
Power Level Adjustment
• Precise control of driving power is provided by
the use of the power adjustment.
• Before use always set the power adjustment to
the minimum setting. (A)
• Select the required power setting by advancing
the power indicator to the ‘+’ symbol by
rotating the adjuster wheel anti clockwise. (B)
The colour coding of the charges is industry
standard. As such, people who are colour blind
and/or cannot distinguish between the different

Fastener Setting
For flush timber fixing (i.e. no washer), the fastener
is correctly set when the head of the fastener is
flush with the surface of the timber.
When fixing to thinner materials the fastener is
correctly set when the under side of the fastener
head is in contact with the material surface with
only minor deformation of the material.
The fastener is over driven if:
• the head is excessively embedded into the
fixing material, or
• the shank of the fastener is damaged or broken
during driving.
If the fastener is over driven, reduce power by
selecting a lower strength power load or adjusting
the power setting (if applicable).
If the fastener is under driven by a tool with power
adjustment, increase the power by increasing the
power setting until a suitable fixing is achieved. If
the maximum setting is reached, move the wheel
back to the minimum position and use the next
strength power load and repeat the process.
If the fastener is under driven by tools without
power adjustment, increase the power by using
the next strength power load.
Pin selection and correct setting
The correct selection and setting of the drive pin
is critical with all low velocity tools to ensure a
secure fixing and long tool life.

If a fastening is no longer required, it may be
necessary to remove the protruding section of a
fastened drive pin.
As P.A. drive pins are manufactured with high
tensile steel, when they are subjected to excessive
stress they may break in a violent manner.
When a drive pin is broken it is possible for a
fragment of the drive pin to separate from the
remainder of the drive pin at high velocity
If P.A. drive pins need to be removed after they
have been fastened to solid material, Ramset™
recommends that they should be removed /
broken with a Ramset™ Pin Breaking Tool.
(Part Number: PBT) The use of a Ramset™ Pin
Breaking Tool ensures that all fragments of a
drive pin are contained within the tool during the
removal process.
NEVER USE A HAMMER OR OTHER SIMILAR
TOOL TO REMOVE P.A. DRIVE PINS.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN
REMOVING P.A. DRIVE PINS.
Drive Pin / Fastener Removal
1. Ensure that eye protection is
being worn by everyone in the
vicinity where the drive pin is to
be broken / removed.
2. Place the Ramset™ Pin
Breaking Tool over the pin that

Inspection / Tool Maintenance
CAUTION: The tool may become hot during operation. Tool maintenance should be performed
when the tool has cooled down to avoid the possibility of receiving burns to hands.
1. Ensure that no power loads are loaded in the
tool. Remove the power load strip by pulling it
upwards out of the tool.
It is important to clean a P.A. Tool weekly. The
carbon build up from the explosive material can
decrease the effectiveness of the tool and if not
removed, cause long term damage to the tool.
The Australian Standard AS1873 states that all
Powder Actuated (P.A.) Tools “be returned to
the manufacturer or its authorised agent for a
complete overhaul at least once in every
12 month period.”
2. Hold the tool vertical with the fastener guide
/ magazine pointing upwards. Unscrew the
fastener guide / magazine. If this is too difficult
by hand, use multigrips.
3. Take out the piston assembly (piston, piston
return spring and buffer).
4. Push the barrel downwards and unscrew the
collar surrounding the barrel. Remove the
barrel assembly.
5. Check the length of the return spring using the
measuring points located on the top of the
tool housing. This check should be made
every 3,000 fixings.
6. CHECK:
• The piston tip - replace if it is damaged
