Attempts to go beyond these procedures could result in
serious personal injury or damage to the Paslode Cordless
framer and voiding the warranty.
There are certain problems you may encounter when you
are using the Paslode Cordless framer 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
Paslode Cordless framer 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 framer's fan operates and the 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 Paslode
Cordless framer, clearing a jammed fastener is easy:
1.
Remove the fuel cell and battery.
2.
Lock follower back in magazine and remove fasteners.
3.
Remove the (2) magazine mounting screws with the
5/32 hex key.
4.
Pull handle/magazine away from the nose of the tool
and clear jam.
5.
Realign handle magazine to nose, and tighten mounting
screws.
6.
Reload fasteners and release follower.
Battery Check
Periodically check the battery indicator light in the handle
of the Paslode Cordless framer. 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 pressed on work
piece, the fan motor will turn on and blinking green light will
turn solid green. If the light blinks red or glows red, recharge
battery.
DANGER
Never attempt any maintenance of the Paslode Cordless
framer without first removing the fuel cell and battery.
Maintenance should be started only after the tool is
completely inoperative.
