- 1). Check that the tool is unloaded and the muzzle is clear. Wear eye protection and protective gloves when using the Remington Powedriver 490.
- 2). Hold the muzzle and slide the barrel forward until it stops. This will place the piston into firing position and open the powder load chamber.
- 3). Insert your power fastener with the head end first into the end of the muzzle and push until its point is even with the end of the tool. Always load the fastener before the powder load.
- 4). Insert the powder load into the muzzle chamber until it stops and then push the barrel back into the tool's housing to set it in the closed position.
- 5). Place the muzzle to the work surface perpendicularly. For example, if the surface is vertical, the muzzle will be positioned horizontally. Do not tilt the tool.
- 6). Push the powerdriver against the surface until the barrel stops sliding.
- 7). Squeeze the trigger, keeping pressure on the tool as you do so.
- 8). Slide the barrel forward quickly to expel the spent powder load and to reset the piston. Check that the spent load has ejected before moving on to the next fastener.
