fasteners which have been collated into strips. The use of
fasteners that do not meet Paslode standards could
cause tool damage and will void all warranty claims.
Loading Fasteners
The illustrations below show how to properly load fasteners
into the Paslode Cordless Finish nailer. To load:
1. Draw back the follower until it latches with the rail cover.
2. Insert one or two strips of Paslode finish nails between
the wear strips. Let them fall forward to the nail guide.
3. Locate the follower behind the finish nails. Apply
pressure to the rail cover so that the follower is released.
The constant force spring will locate the follower behind the
finish nails and apply a constant pressure on them.
Dirt and debris may interfere with proper feeding of fasteners.
Keep the fastener track clean.
Paslode Cordless Tools and
Outdoor Weather
Use the Cordless Finish nailer outdoors, in clear
weather, when the nailer, fuel cell, and battery are
between 20
°
F (-7
°
C) and 120
°
F (49
°
C).
HOT WEATHER OPERATION
The Paslode Cordless Finish nailer requires cooling
of the motor assembly to operate properly. The fan
normally provides the necessary air flow to permit
continuous operation. Whenever the Paslode Cordless
Finish nailer is idle for extended periods, keep the fuel
and tool out of direct sunlight and in surroundings
where temperatures will not exceed 120
°
F (49
°
C).
After extended periods of continuous use, it may be
necessary to cool the Impulse motor by setting tool
aside for 10-15 minutes or until the tool operates
normally. An overheated tool may not drive nails
completely or may operate erratically.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
Fuel cells at cold temperatures lose the required
propellant force. Bring the tool, battery, and fuel cell
above minimum operating temperature without direct
exposure to flame, and check the battery.
Paslode Cordless Tools and Indoor
Operation
Preparing the Paslode Cordless Finish Nailer for Use
CAUTION
The Paslode Cordless Finish nailer should not be
used in the rain or where excessive moisture is
present. The use of the Impulse Finish nailer under
these conditions may result in damage to tool
components and cause tool to malfunction
This tool must be operated in a well ventilated
environment, because the tool exhausts carbon
monoxide similar to a chainsaw or lawn mower.
Exposure to carbon monoxide may cause dizziness,
nausea or unconsciousness.
CAUTION
NOTE: Altitude Restriction
Paslode Cordless tools are powered by a internal
combustion engine and are effected by altitude. The
tool may lose power or not cycle consistantly at
elevations of 4000 feet or greater. When using the tool
at elevations above 4000 feet it is recommended to
use the blue high altitude fuel metering valve part
#219247.
