SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY FIRST
These safety instructions provide information necessary
for safe operation of Paslode® tools. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO OPERATE THE TOOL UNTIL YOU READ AND
UNDERSTAND ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND
MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS.
WEAR EYE AND HEARING PROTECTION
Always wear hearing and eye protection devices, including side shields, when operating or working in the
vicinity of a tool.
THE TOOL MUST BE USED ONLY FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT WAS DESIGNED
Do not throw the tool on the floor, strike the housing in
any way or use the tool as a hammer to knock
material into place.
NEVER ENGAGE IN HORSEPLAY WITH THE TOOL
The tool is not a toy so do not use it like one. Never
engage in horseplay with the tool or point it at yourself
or any other person, even if you think it is not loaded.
NEVER ASSUME THE TOOL IS EMPTY
Check the magazine for fasteners that may be left in the
tool. Even if you think the tool is empty or disconnected,
never point it at anyone or yourself. Unseen fasteners
could fire from the tool.
NEVER CLAMP THE TRIGGER IN A LOCKED OR
OPERATING POSITION
The trigger of the tool must never be tampered with,
disabled or clamped in a locked or operating position
since this will cause the tool to drive a fastener any time
the work contacting element depressed.
DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS WITH THE AIR LINE
CONNECTED, OR WITH THE TOOL TRIGGER OR
WORK CONTACTING ELEMENT DEPRESSED
When loading fasteners into the tool be sure you
disconnect the air line and that you do not depress the
trigger or work contacting element.
OPERATE THE TOOL ONLY ON A WORKPIECE
The tool should be operated only when it is in contact
with the workpiece. Even then you should be careful
when fastening thin material or working near the edges
and corners of the workpiece since the fasteners may
drive through or away from the workpiece.
DO NOT DISABLE OR REMOVE THE WORK CONTACTING ELEMENT
This tool is equipped with a safety mechanism, called a
work contacting element, to help prevent
accidental firing. Never tamper with, disable or remove
the work contacting element. Do not use the tool unless
the work contacting element is working properly. The
tool could fire unexpectedly.
in use or when you leave the work area. The tool
should never be left unattended because people who
are not familiar with the tool might handle it and
injure themselves or others.
CARRY THE TOOL ONLY BY THE HANDLE
Always carry the tool by the handle only. Never carry
the tool by the air hose or with the trigger depressed
since you could drive a fastener unintentionally and
injure yourself or someone else.
DO NOT WEAKEN THE TOOL HOUSING
The tool housing is a pressure vessel and should never
be weakened by having your company’s name, area
of work or anything else stamped or engraved into its
surface.
DISCONNECT THE TOOL WHEN PERFORMING
REPAIRS AND CLEARING JAMS
Never attempt to clear a jam or repair a tool unless you
have disconnected the tool from the air line and
removed all remaining fasteners from the tool.
ALWAYS USE THE PROPER FITTING FOR THE
TOOL
Only MALE pneumatic type air connectors should be
fitted to the tool, so that high pressure air in the tool is
vented to atmosphere as soon as the air line is
disconnected.
NEVER install FEMALE quick disconnect couplings on
the tool. Female couplings will trap high pressure air
in the tool when the air line is disconnected, leaving
the tool charged and able to drive at least one fastener.
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED
AIR PRESSURE
Operate the tool only at the recommended air pressure. Do not exceed the maximum air pressure marked
on the tool. Be sure the air pressure gauge is
operating properly and check it at least twice a day.
Never use any bottled air or gases such as oxygen to
operate the tool since they could cause the tool
explode.
KEEP THE TOOL CLEAN AND LUBRICATED
Clean the tool at least daily and lubricate as required.
Never operate a dirty or malfunctioning tool.
USE ONL Y P ASLODE RECOMMENDED P ARTS AND
FASTENERS
Use only parts and fasteners specifically designed and
recommended by Paslode for use in the tool and for
work to be done. Using unauthorized parts and
fasteners or modifying the tool in any way creates
dangerous situations. Replace all missing warning
labels---refer to tool schematic for correct placement
and part number.
to
DISCONNECT THE TOOL WHEN NOT IN USE
Always disconnect the tool from the air line when it is not
WARNING
Failure to follow any of the above instructions could result in severe personal
injury to tool user and bystanders or cause damage to tool and property.

AIR SYSTEMS
For air-powered tools to work their best, the air
supply system must be properly installed and
maintained regularly. A drawing in this section
shows a properly installed air supply system.
Handy checklists for installing and maintaining
air supply systems follow.
Indoor Air System Installation
-Be certain that:
• All pipes supplying air have a large enough
inside diameter to ensure adequate air supply.
• The main supply pipe slopes down, away from
the compressor (1/16 inch per foot).
• Air storage is provided along lengthy air lines.
• Pipe line branch outlets are at the top of the
main pipe line.
• Cutoff valves are provided at each branch pipe
line throughout the system.
• Air hoses are not longer than 150 feet.
• The air system is lubricated regularly.
• A regular maintenance program is followed.
Filter/Regulator/Lubricator Units
Filter/regulator/lubricator units that can supply
enough air and protection for Paslode tools
must meet the following specifications:
• Minimum 3/8 inch NPT port size .
• 50 micron or fine filters.
• Regulated pressure from zero to 120 psi.
• Lubricators designed for low or changing
airflow.
• Water legs extend from the bottom of each branch
line.
• A refrigerant-type dryer is installed on the system.
• Air hoses are kept as short as practical.
• A regular maintenance program is followed.
Outdoor Air System Installation
-Be certain that:
• A moisture trap and a filter/regulator/lubricator are
installed at the compressor.
• Air hoses and fittings are large enough so that air
flow is not restricted. Minimum hose size is 3/8
inch ID with 1/2 inch ID hose used for any
application over 25 feet.
