Technology and Outdoor
Weather
Use the Paslode Angled Finish Nailer outdoors, in dry
weather, when the nailer, fuel cell, and battery are
between 20
°
F (-7
°
C) and 120
°
F (49
°
C).
HOT WEATHER OPERATION
The Paslode Angled Finish Nailer requires cooling of
the motor assembly to operate properly. The fan
normally provides the necessary air flow to permit
continuous operation. Whenever the Paslode Angled
Finish Nailer 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 pressure. Bring the tool, fuel cell, and
battery above 20
°
F (-7
°
C) by placing the tool in a
heated building or vehicle. Never expose the tool,
fuel cell or battery to flame.
Fasteners
The Paslode Angled Finish Nailer drives Paslode
®
16
gauge angled fasteners designed to be used with the
tool. The use of fasteners that do not meet Paslode
standards could cause tool damage and will void all
warranty claims.
Loading Fasteners
STEP 1: Align the heads of the Paslode angled finish nails
to the silver brad channel in the rear of the magazine and
insert one or two strips. Push the nails strips forward.
STEP 2: Next, while applying pressure to the release lever,
pull the follower toward the rear of the magazine until the
follower passes the last strip of fasteners. Release the lever
on the follower and let the follower push the nails forward
into the nose of the tool.
In the illustration above, you will see an indicator arrow on
the side of the follower. When the indicator arrow is in the
reload area, marked on the side of the magazine, you may
insert a new strip of nails. When the follower arrow reaches
the lockout area the tool automatically locks the tool to
prevent the tool from operating. To unlock the tool, simply
reload another strip of fasteners.
Preparing the Paslode Angled Finish Nailer for Use
Lockout Feature
The purpose of this feature is to prevent needless
blank cycling, which could mar woods,waste fuel and
damage tool components .Ten (10) nails will be left in
the magazine when the follower reaches the lockout
area. When changing fastener length or loading at
the beginning of the work day, you should inspect the
magazine and nose for any fasteners left in the tool.
These nails will not be visible unless you open the
nose of the tool.
