(90°) to the work surface. Fully
depress the tool against the work
surface, then pull the trigger.

8. Remove the spent powder
strip load by grasping the
strip from the top side of the
tool and firmly pull upwards
in a smooth motion.
Note: If three or fewer pins are in the
magazine and need to be removed, they
can be taken out by using a small Allen
wrench or other small-stem rod that
can be inserted into the hole in the top
of the barrel and pushed out.

The PTP-27S is shown; however, the same loading and firing instructions apply
to the PTP-27L.
1. Load the pin, tip pointing out into the end

thumb wheel until the dial indicator moves toward the "–" sign. Note: Only use
the power regulator to reduce power by less than 1 powder load level. Using a red
powder load to achieve a yellow or green powder load output is not a good use of
the power regulator since doing this will shorten the life of the power regulator and
other components of the tool. Even if you dial the power down, if you use a red
powder load (high power load level), the tool still has to absorb the excess energy.
of the tool, so the pin tip is flush with the
end of the fastener guide.
2. Select the proper strip powder load for
the application. With the metal casing,
pointing toward the front of the tool,
insert the strip through the bottom of
the handle until the strip is flush with the
bottom of the tool handle.
3. Dial the power regulator to full power.
The power regulator is a tool feature that
allows the user to lower the power output.
The ideal use of the power regulator is
to achieve power output that is between
powder load levels. Example: If a red
powder load delivers too much power and
a yellow powder load delivers too little
power for the application, use a
red powder load, then dial the power
