Introduction and Warranty
TrimMaster 18™ Finish Nailer
Operating Manual
This manual is intended to acquaint you with the Paslode
Cordless 18 Finish Nailer. Unlike other power fastening
tools, the Cordless 18 Finish Nailer is powered by an
internal combustion linear motor. In simpler terms, your
Cordless 18 Finish Nailer is powered by a motor similar to
the one that powers an automobile. The Cordless 18 Finish
Nailer ignites a fuel and air mixture to produce the energy to
drive the motor, which in turn drives the fastener. The
Cordless 18 Finish Nailer is totally self-contained. It carries
its own fuel supply and battery, along with a supply of
fasteners.
For ease of use, this manual is divided into sections (see
Contents). Each section of the manual is written with you,
the tool operator, in mind. We have left out many of the
technical terms so that you can easily understand how to get
the maximum performance from your Cordless 18 Finish
Nailer, and how to avoid damaging the tool or injuring
yourself. But, to accomplish this, we need you to do two
things:
1. READ THE MANUAL FROM COVER TO COVER
BEFORE USING THE TOOL.
2. FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THE MANUAL.
The Finish nailer should be handled like other power
fastening tools that you use. Like most tools, when used
improperly injury could result . If you are going to allow
others to use the Finish nailer, it is your responsibility to
make sure that they also read and comply with the
instructions in this manual before attempting to operate
the tool.
Should you have questions about the Finish nailer, or wish
to obtain additional copies of this manual, please contact
