Servicing
Fuel Cartridge Check
DANGER
Wear safety glasses when performing this test. 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 operation 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
cartridge.
(see page 11.)

Finish Nailer, clearing a jammed fastener is easy:
1. Remove the battery.
2. Pull the latch, releasing front guide. Pivot front guide
forward.
3. Clear jam, and push driver blade back up to its normal
position.
4.
Battery Check
Periodically check on the battery indicator light (the light
in the handle) of the Cordless Finish Nailer. When
encountering a problem, the first step should always be
to make sure the battery has enough charge to operate
the tool.
DANGER
Never attempt any maintenance of a Paslode Cordless
tool without first removing the fuel cell and battery.
Maintenance should be started only after the tool is
completely inoperative.
CHECKING THE ENERGY LEVEL OF THE
BATTERY
If the Cordless Finish Nailer's fan operates and the indica-
tor light is green, but the tool will not cycle or does not
drive fasteners completely, check the fuel cartridge. With
the fuel cartridge out of the tool, check to see if the
cartridge still contains fuel and that the metering valve is
working. To determine if there is any fuel left in the fuel
cartridge, 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.
Close front guide and latch it. Check that the No Mar
Probe moves freely.
When the No Mar Probe is depressed on the 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.
