4. NEVER ENGAGE IN "HORSEPLAY" WITH THE TOOL. The Trak-It tool is not a
toy...it is a power fastening tool. It is designed to drive a fastener through steel sheets
into concrete. To accomplish this task, it generates a tremendous amount of energy.
Fooling around, even when you are absolutely sure there are no fasteners in the tool, is
asking for an accident.
5. NEVER CARRY THE TOOL WITH YOUR FINGER ON, OR DEPRESSING, THE
TRIGGER. You must remember that the Trak-It tool operates in a specific sequence. The
Contact Arm acts as an operating feature that blocks the Trigger from completing the ignition
circuit. Should you unintentionally depress the Contact Arm while pulling the Trigger as
you are carrying the tool, it could discharge a fastener.
6. NEVER OPERATE A TOOL THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING. If you determine that the
Trak-It tool is not working properly, and the problem is more than a simple fastener jam,
stop using it immediately and refer to the Servicing Section of this manual. If the problem
cannot be corrected with one of the steps covered in the Servicing Section, report the
problem to your supervisor or Powers Fasteners customer service representative.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL REPAIRS TO THE TRAK-IT TOOL.
7. OPERATE THE TOOL ONLY ON THE WORK SURFACE. The Trak-It tool should be
operated only when it is in contact with the work surface. Always hold the tool firm and
perpendicular against the surface to be fastened. Stay at least two inches (50 mm) away
from the edge of the concrete.
8. NEVER FIXTURE THE TOOL. The Trak-It tool has been designed to be used as a
hand-operated tool. Never attempt to operate the tool by fixing it to a stationary work
surface or object. Operating the tool in a fixtured position may cause uncontrolled pin
discharge and result in injury to the operator or bystanders.
9. NEVER DISABLE OR REMOVE THE CONTACT ARM. The Trak-It tool is equipped
with a device called the Contact Arm. This device helps reduce the possibility of
accidental operation by preventing the tool from operating until it is fully depressed on the
work surface. The Contact Arm should never be disabled or removed. Do not use the
Trak-It tool if the Contact Arm is damaged or not working properly.
10. DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS WITH THE TRIGGER OR CONTACT ARM
DEPRESSED. When loading fasteners into the Trak-It tool, you must avoid pulling the
Trigger or while having the Contact Arm depressed. When the tool is placed on a
bench or other surface, the Contact Arm might be depressed. When you are loading
fasteners, you could accidentally pull the Trigger by grasping the Handle to steady the
tool. These two actions will cause the Trak-It tool to operate, discharging a fastener.
11. FASTENER REMOVAL OR CLEARING JAMS. Jams can easily be cleared from the
Nose Piece of the tool. Remember to always remove the Fuel Cell from the tool prior
to clearing a jam. For details on the procedure, please refer to the "Clearing a jam"
section of this manual.
