Paslode Cordless 16 Gauge Stapler Operating Manual

his manual is intended to acquaint you with the Paslode Cordless 16 ga.Stapler. Unlike other power fastening tools, the Cordless Stapler is powered by an internal combustion linear motor. In simpler terms, your Cordless Stapler is powered by a motor similar to the one that powers an automobile. The Cordless Stapler ignites a fuel and air mixture to produce the energy to drive the motor, which in turn drives the fastener. As you will see, the Cordless Stapler is totally self-contained. It carries its own fuel supply and battery, along with a supply of

fasteners.

For ease of use, this manual is divided into sections (see Contents). Each section of the manual is written with you, the tooloperator,in mind. We have left out all of the technical terms so that you can readily understand how to get the maximum performance from your Cordless Stapler, and how to avoid damaging the tool or injuring yourself. But, to accomplish this, we need you to do two things:

1. READ THE MANUAL FROM COVER TO COVER BEFORE USING THE TOOL.

Battery and Charging System

The Paslode Cordless tools come with a rechargeable battery and its own charging system. This charging system is the only one that will work with the Paslode batteries (either round or oval). The first step in preparing a new tool for operation is to fully charge the battery. New batteries are shipped

discharged and must be charged prior to first use. Batteries will take 5 minutes to 2 hours (time

will be dependant on the amount of discharge within the battery) to recharge.

Important Charging Notes

Fuel Cell and Metering Valve

Fuel Cell

DANGER

EXPLOSION/FIRE HAZARD

Read ALL safety instructions before using or handling the fuel cell. Failure to follow ALL instructions may result in explosion or fire. This may cause severe personal injuries or property damage.

Keep the fuel cell away from heat, sparks and open flame.

There is a second container inside the fuel cell. The inner container holds the fuel. The space between the inner container and the outer cylinder is filled with a gas, called the propellant, which is under pressure.

To eject the fuel, propellant pressure squeezes the inner fuel container, much as you squeeze a tube of toothpaste. This squeezing action ensures that all the fuel is used, and that the Cordless Stapler can operate in any position.

Because of this container-within-a-container design, you might hear the sound of fluid when shaking the fuel cell after all the fuel has been used. This is the propellant, which remains between the containers even after all the fuel has been expelled.

If you expose the empty fuel cell to extreme temperatures, the propellant gas will expand and could cause the container to burst, releasing flammable gases.

Metering Valve

The metering valve contains a fuel metering system to inject the correct amount of fuel into the combustion chamber.

Exposure to temperatures above 120°F (49°C) may cause the fuel cell to burst, releasing flammable gas.

WARNING

Sunlight can raise the inside temperature of an unventilated car or van to above 140°F (60°C).

Never puncture or attempt to open the fuel cell; it is non-refillable.

Never incinerate, reclaim or recycle the fuel cell.

Never smoke while installing or operating the metering valve.

Never inhale the spray.

Keep out of the reach of children.

Store fuel cell(s) in well-ventilated areas only.

The yellow metering valve is the only valve that will operate properly with the Cordless 16 ga. Stapler.

NOTE

1. Do not attempt to reuse the metering valve! Replace with fresh fuel cell/valve, and dispose of spent cell/valve properly.

2. When replacing fuel cell also clean or replace the air filter for optimum tool operation.

NOTE: Altitude Restriction

Paslode Cordless tools are powered by an internal combustion engine and are effected by altitude. The tool may lose power or not cycle consistently at elevations of 4000 feet or greater. When using the tool at elevations of 4000 feet it is recommended to use the blue high altitude fuel metering valve part #219247.

Fuel Cell and Metering Valve

Installing Metering Valve to Fuel Cell Prior to Use

To install the metering valve to a fuel cell:

1. Press downward on the front side of the valve (stem side) until it seats.

2. Press downward on the rear side of the valve until it seats.

3. The valve is now completely seated onto the fuel can and can be inserted into the tool.

.3.2.1

NOTE: Paslode Cordless fuel cells are marked with an expiration date on the bottom of the can. For maximum performance use fuel before expiration date.

DANGER

Paslode Cordless Fuel Cells are flammable.

Do not smoke when installing the metering valve!

Paslode Cordless Fuel Cell Disposal Guidelines

Paslode the industry leader in cordless technology provides this information to assist users with the proper disposal of discarded fuel cells. Acceptable disposal options vary depending on the type of fuel cell users. All users must consider federal, state and local solid waste regulations to ensure that discarded fuel cells are disposed of properly. Users must contact their local solid waste authority for further guidance.

Discarded fuel cells (used or unused) may be considered hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) depending on several factors as described in the paragraphs that follow. Upon disposal used and unused fuel cells may be classified as ignitable hazardous waste (waste code D001) under U.S. EPA regulations.

Hazardous waste generated by homeowners and contractors who perform routine maintenance for homeowners in their homes are not regulated by RCRA. In general, "household wastes" generated by homeowners and their contractors are exempt from hazardous waste regulation because those wastes are expressly excluded from the definition of hazardous waste. For example US EPA has excluded as "houshold waste" aerosol cans that contain residual product and propellent. Thus under federal hazardous waste regulations homeowners and contractors may dispose of discarded fuel cells as general refuse in a properly permitted municipal landfill. These users must still contact their local solid waste authority to determine if any state or local regulation prohibits or restricts such disposal.

Paslode takes no responsibility for proper fuel cell disposal. Proper disposal remains the responsibility of sellers and users. All sellers and users must contact their local solid waste authority to determine if any federal, state or local regulation prohibits or restricts disposal. Users may obtain more information about U.S. EPA hazardous waste regulations at the following internet address: www.epa.gov/epaoswee.osw/hazwaste.htm

Alternatively users may contact U.S. EPA's RCRA Superfund Call Center at 1-800-424-9346 to receive more information.

Fuel Cell and Metering Valve

Inserting Fuel Cell

Inserting the metering valve/fuel cell assembly into the Cordless Stapler is very simple. To begin, press up at the bottom of the actuator cover and pivot outward to open. The cover will swing out of the way.
