Remington Power Hammer Instructions
The Remington Power Hammer Model 476 uses low-velocity .22 caliber cartridges to drive fasteners into steel, concrete and masonry. The hammer is designed to operate with .22 caliber crimped Remington Powder Loads Type A. It can drive Remington Power Fasteners up to 2-1/2-inches long. Penetration in concrete is between one inch and 1.25 inches. In steel, the fastener must fully penetrate the material, with recommended steel applications in the 3/16-inch to 5/16-inch range.
Loading
Insert the fastener into the end of the muzzle of the Power Hammer, with the round metal head first. Continue to push the fastener into the muzzle until its point is even with the end of the muzzle.
