Operation - Remington POWERHAMMER 476 Operating Instructions Manual

Operation

LOADING THE POWERHAMMER
1. Insert the proper fastener into the
muzzle, round metal head first. Push
fastener until the point is even with the
end of the muzzle.
2. Grab the muzzle and pull forward until
it stops. This sets the piston and
opens the chamber area.
3. Insert the proper Remington Power
Load into the chamber, while holding
the muzzle downward. Be sure to
keep holding the muzzle downward
and away from you. The power load
will not seat fully.
4. Push the barrel into the housing until
it stops and hold in the closed position
keeping the muzzle pointed down.
This keeps the power load from falling
out of the chamber.
FIRING THE POWERHAMMER
1. Place the muzzle of the tool against
the work surface, hold at 90°, Do Not
Tilt.
2. Hold the grip with one hand and push
down, compressing the spring. The
groove around the barrel and outside
of the housing at the chamber area
MUST line up (as shown) for the tool
to operate properly. If the grooves DO
NOT line up, check that the power
load has not fallen out of the chamber.
3. ALWAYS keep the chamber opening
away from the wrist to avoid contact
from escaping gas.
4. Using a one pound hammer, HIT THE
FIRING PIN SQUARELY WITH A
SHARP, STRONG BLOW. Hold the
hammer as close as you can to the
tool head to improve your accuracy.
For best results, work at a level below
shoulder height.
5. If the power load does not fire with the
first blow, wait 30 seconds, eject the
power load and start over again. Re-
turn misfired power loads to SGB
Youngman or an approved distributer
NOTE: A LIGHT HAMMER BLOW
WILL JAR THE DRIVE PISTON
OUT OF PROPER POSITION
CAUSING LESS POWER AND
PENETRATION OF THE FAS-
TENER.
