CLEARING A JAM
Attempts to go beyond these procedures could
result in serious personal injury or damage to the
GypFast tool and voiding of the warranty .
There are certain problems that you may encounter
when you are using the GypFast tool that you will
be able to correct on the work site . The follow-
ing field service procedures are the only service
procedures you should attempt . Anything else
that may appear wrong with the GypFast tool
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 Sales
Representative immediately .
DANGER
Never attempt any maintenance of the GypFast
tool without first removing the Fuel Cell and
Battery . Maintenance should only be started after
the tool is completely inoperative .
BATTERY CHECK
Periodically check on the LED Battery Voltage
Indicator Light—the LED in the Handle of the
GypFast tool . When encountering a problem,
the first step should always be to make sure the
Battery has enough energy to operate the tool .
If the light is red, recharge the Battery, If the light
is glowing green, indicating that the Battery is
charged, check the ignition system .
FUEL CELL CHECK
Another typical service condition will occur when
the Fuel Cell becomes empty . A typical symptom
will be when the GypFast tool’s Fan operates
and the LED is green, but the tool does not drive
fasteners completely . In this case, take 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 is there is any fuel left in
the Fuel Cell 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 . 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 operation of the Metering
Valve, there is no more fuel left in the cylinder and
it must be replaced . Dispose of the empty Fuel
Cell properly .
AIR FILTER
Open the cover by pressing slightly above the
Red Adapter, and pivoting the cover open . The
Air Filter simply lift out .
Tap the filter GENTLY to remove any dust . You
should check and clean the Air Filter every two
days .
