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® round or cut spall guard with clip to prevent concrete spall.
The NITROSET® tool is NOT for fastening into the following base materials:
Wood
Drywall
Glass
Tile
Rock
These materials may shatter causing the fastener or base substrate to
fly free and might cause serious injury to the operator or bystanders.
WWW.NITROSET.COM
Worksite Preparation
The NITROSET® tool is for fastening into the following base materials only:
Concrete
Structural Steel
Check the thickness and type of base material before fastening, following
your specific jobsite instructions and building code requirements.
In fastening into steel substrate, the minimum thickness of substrate must
be 3/16".
Minimum concrete thickness is three times the fastener penetration
(ie. 3" of concrete base material is a minimum for a 1" penetration).
Never attempt to fasten into any other materials other than those listed above.
Acceptable Base Materials
Inappropriate Base Materials

Operating Instructions
1. Reset the tool before each fastening 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 before inserting fasteners)
3. Place the NITROSET® tool perpendicular against the fastening surface.
A) Pull back on 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
7
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.
WARNING
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
WARNING
Cracked concrete may cause loud noise when using the tool.

Operating Instructions
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
from Step 1 to 4.
If the tool fails to fasten, remove the spent fastener assembly while pointing
the tool away from yourself and any bystanders.
The use of NITROSET® pole is recommended for maximum eciency 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
8
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
After the tool has been in use, the muzzle and other parts may be hot.
Always wear gloves to handle these areas.
WARNING
IMPORTANT: DO NOT BOUNCE FIRE THE TOOL!
