Preparing the Paslode Cordless
Framer for Use
Fasteners
The Paslode Cordless framer drives Paslode clipped-head
nails, which have been collated into strips. The use of nails
that do not meet Paslode standards could cause tool
damage and void your warranty. Paslode nail sizes and
types are illustrated in the Fasteners and Applications
section.
Loading Fasteners
The illustrations below show how to properly load fasteners.
To load, pull the follower handle back to the rear lock
position (button will pop out). Insert a strip of nails and
release follower by pushing on button.
There is a reload indicator on follower and tool. A full strip
can be loaded in this area as shown above.
CAUTION
Five (5) nails will be left in the magazine after a strip
has been used. The indicator arrow shows that you
can reload. It does not indicate that the Paslode
Cordless framer is empty. Because of a lockout feature
in the Paslode Cordless framer it will not operate when
the nail supply in the tool is less than six (6) fasteners.
Outdoor Weather and Impulse
Cordless Framer
Use the Paslode Cordless framer 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 framer 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 framer 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.
CAUTION
The Paslode Cordless nailer should not be used in the
rain or where excessive moisture is present. The use
of the Paslode Cordless nailer under these conditions
may result in damage to tool components and cause
tool to malfunction.
