TOOL INSTALLATION
Your Paslode
®
tool comes ready for immediate
use and can be installed by following these steps:
1. SAFETY - All tool operators and their immediate
supervisors must become familiar with the operator
safety instructions before operating the tool. The
instructions are on page 4 of this manual.
2. Included with each tool is a copy of the operation
manual and schematic.
Keep this publication for
future reference. An ownership registration card is
also included. This card must be completed and
returned to Paslode
®
immediately to register your
ownership.
3. The plastic cap in the air inlet of the tool must be
removed before the male fitting is installed. The fit-
ting must be a male pneumatic type that discharges
the air from the tool when the air line is discon-
nected.
4. Install a filter/regulator/lubricator unit, with a
gauge as close as practical to the tool, preferably
within ten feet. Refer to the Air Systems section of
this manual for air hose requirements and lengths.
In general, no other special installation is required.
5. If the operator is working at a bench or table,
it is usually best to run the air line underneath the
bench. A small tray under the benchtop can hold
the fastener supply and the tool when not in use.
6. If this tool does not work when it is first connect-
ed, do not try to make repairs. Call your Paslode
®
representative immediately.
