Never use any other types of fasteners or strip loads in the Viper Tool. Use of other types  

of fasteners or loads may cause unintentional load discharge, damage the tool, cause poor 

fastening performance, or create a risk of serious injury to the operator or bystanders.

DANGER

LOADS

Ramset RS 27 strip loads are specially made for use in the Viper Tool.

The power level of the load is indicated by 

the number marked on each box, the color 

of the box, and the color on the tip of each load. As the number increases, the power 

level also increases.

Always perform the center punch test described on page 3 to test the base material.

Always make a test fastening using the lowest power level first. If more power is 

required to set the fastener, use the next higher power level until the power level  

necessary to drive the fastener is reached.
