CLEANING THE TOOL (See cleaning manual)
Attempts to go beyond these procedures could result in
serious personal injury or damage to the Paslode Cordless
Finish nailer and voiding the warranty.
There are certain problems you may encounter when you
are using the Cordless Finish nailer that you will be able to
correct on the work site. The following field service procedures
are the only service procedures you should attempt. Anything
else that may appear wrong with the Cordless Finish nailer
should only be diagnosed and repaired by a fully trained
service technician. If you have any reason to believe that
your problem is beyond the service procedures in this
manual, contact your Paslode
®
representative immediately.
Fuel Cell Check
If the Paslode Cordless Finish nailer's fan operates and the
indicator light is green, but the tool will not cycle or does not
drive fasteners completely, check the fuel cell. With the fuel
cell out of the tool, check to see if the cell still contains fuel
and that the metering valve is working. To determine if there
is any fuel left in the fuel cell, hold in the upright position and
simply place the metering stem against a solid object, and
gently push about three or four times. A small amount of fuel
should be released each time.
DANGER
Never perform this test near an open flame or sparks,
while smoking, or where the fuel may get into your eyes.
If fuel is not released with each operating of the metering
valve, this indicates that there is no more fuel left in the
cylinder and it must be replaced. Dispose of the empty fuel
cell properly.
Clearing a Jam
A typical problem you may encounter is having a jammed
fastener. Because of the unique design of the Cordless
Finish Nailer, clearing a jammed fastener is easy:
1.
Remove the battery.
2.
Pull follower back until it latches with rail cover.
3.
Push latch, releasing front guide. Pivot front guide
forward.
4.
Clear jam, and push driver blade back up to its normal
position.
5.
Close front guide and latch it. Check that work contacting
element is free.
6.
Release follower.
Battery Check
Periodically check on the battery indicator light - the light
in the handle of the Paslode Cordless Finish nailer. When
encountering a problem, the first step should always be to
make sure the battery has enough energy to operate the
tool.
When the work contacting element is depressed on work
piece, the fan motor will turn on and the blinking green
indicator light will turn solid green. If the indicator light blinks
red or glows red, recharge the battery.
DANGER
Never attempt any maintenance of the Paslode Cordless
Finish nailer without first removing the fuel cell and
battery. Maintenance should be started only after the
tool is completely inoperative.
