Nailer and Outdoor Weather
Use the Cordless Brad Nailer outdoors, in dry weather,
when the nailer, fuel cell, and battery are between
-7
° (
20
° ) and
4
° (
120
° ).
HOT WEATHER OPERATION
The Cordless Brad Nailer requires cooling of the
motor assembly to operate properly. The fan normally
provides the necessary air flow to permit continuous
operation. Whenever the Cordless Brad Nailer is idle
for extended periods, keep the fuel and tool out of
direct sunlight and in surroundings where temperatures
will not exceed
4
° (
120
° ). After extended periods
of continuous use, it may be necessary to cool the
Cordless 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 pressure. Bring the tool, fuel cell, and
battery above
-7
° (
20
° ) by placing the tool in a
heated building or vehicle. Never expose the tool,
fuel cell or battery to flame
