Introduction
Paslode Cordless Framing Nailer
Operating Manual
This manual is intended to acquaint you with the
Paslode Cordless Framing Nailer. Unlike other power
fastening tools, the Cordless Framing Nailer is powered
by an internal combustion linear motor. In simpler
terms, your Cordless Framing Nailer is powered by a
motor similar to the one that powers an automobile. The
Cordless Framing Nailer 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 Framing Nailer 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 tool operator, 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 Framing Nailer, 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.
2. FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THE MANUAL.
®
The Cordless Framing Nailer should be handled like other
power fastening tools that you use. Like most tools, when
used improperly it could result in injury. If you are going to
allow others to use the Cordless Framing Nailer,it is your
responsibility to make sure that they also read and comply
with the instructions in this manual before attempting to
operate the tool.
Should you have questions about the Cordless Framing
Nailer, or wish to obtain additional copies of this
®
manual,please contact your Paslode
representative. The

or handling
explosion or fire.
flammable
There is a second container inside the fuel cartridge. This
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 Nailer can operate in any position.
However, over time the propellant pressure diminishes
until it is no longer able to squeeze the inner fuel
container. This is why a nailer using a fuel cartridge
beyond the “Best Use Before” date may not work consistently or at all.
If you expose the empty or expired fuel cartridge to
extreme temperatures, the propellant gas will expand and
could cause the container to burst, releasing flammable
gases.
The fuel contains a small amount of oil to keep the tool
lubricated during use. It is not necessary to oil the tool
during normal operation. When cleaning the tool, use only
Paslode Cordless tool oil. Using oils not formulated for the
Paslode Cordless Tool, may cause loss of power and may
damage the internal parts of the tool's motor.
DANGER
WARNING
Sunlight can raise the inside temperature of an
unventilated motor vehicle or storage container to
above 140°F (60°C).
Never puncture or attempt to open the fuel; it is
nonrefillable.
Never incinerate, reclaim or recycle the fuel.
Never smoke while installing or operating the fuel
cartridge or tool.
Never inhale the spray.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Store fuel cartridge(s) in well-ventilated areas only.
1.
Do not attempt to remove or reuse the fuel cart-
ridge cap.
2. Do not attempt to install the fuel cartridge cap on

For maximum performance
21 DEC. 2017
“Best Use Before” Date
7
Paslode the industry leader in cordless technology provides this information to assist users with the proper disposal of discarded
fuel cells/cartridges. Acceptable disposal options vary depending on the type of fuel cell/cartridge users. All users must cons
federal, state and local solid waste regulations to ensure that discarded fuel cells/cartridges are disposed of properly. Users
contact their local solid waste authority for further guidance.
Discarded fuel cells/cartridges (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/cartridges 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 "household waste" aerosol cans that contain residual product and propellent. Thus under
regulations homeowners and contractors may dispose of discarded fuel cells/cartridges 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/cartridge 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
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.

Preparing the Paslode Cordless Framing Nailer for Use
Fasteners
The Paslode Cordless Framing Nailer drives Paslode
RounDrive®nails, which have been collated into strips. The
use of nails that do not meet Paslode standards could cause
tool damage and void your warranty. Paslode nail sizes and
types are illustrated in the Fasteners and Applications
section.
Loading Fasteners
STEP 1: To load, pull the follower handle back to the rear
lock position (button will pop up).
STEP 2: Insert a strip of nails and release follower by
pushing on button.
Lockout Feature
The purpose of this feature is to prevent needless
blank cycling,which could waste fuel and damage
tool components. Five (5) nails will be left in the
magazine when the follower reaches the lockout
area. The indicator arrow shows that you can reload.
It does not indicate that the Cordless Framing Nailer
is empty. Because of a lockout feature in the
Cordless Framing Nailer it will not operate when the
nail supply in the tool is less than six (6) nails.
Paslode Cordless Framing Nailer and
Outdoor Weather
Use the Cordless Framing Nailer outdoors, in clear weather,
when the nailer, fuel cartridge, and battery are between
14°F (-10°C) and 120°F (49°C.
HOT WEATHER OPERATION
The Cordless Framing Nailer requires cooling of the motor
assembly to operate properly. The fan normally provides
the necessary air flow to permit continuous operation.
Whenever the Cordless Framing 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 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.
There is a reload indicator on follower and tool. A full strip
can be loaded in this area as shown above.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
Fuel at cold temperatures lose the required propellant force.
Bring the tool, battery, and fuel cartridge above minimum
operating temperature without direct exposure to flame, and
check the battery.
CAUTION
The Cordless Framing Nailer should not be used in the
rain or where excessive moisture is present. The use
of the Paslode Cordless Technology under these
conditions may result in damage to tool components
and cause tool to malfunction.

CHECKING THE FUEL CARTRIDGE
REPLACING THE FUEL CARTRIDGE
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
CLEARING A JAM
Attempts to go beyond these procedures could result in
serious personal injury or damage to the Cordless Framing
Nailer and voiding the warranty.
There are certain problems you may encounter when you
are using the Cordless Framing Nailer that you will be able
to correct on the work site. The following field service
procedures are the only service procedures you should
attempt. Anything else that may appear wrong with the
Cordless Framing Nailer 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 Paslode
representative immediately.
DANGER
Never attempt any maintenance of the Paslode Cordless
Framing Nailer without first removing the fuel cartridge
and battery. Maintenance should be started only after
the tool is completely inoperative.
Battery Check
Periodically check the battery indicator light in the handle
of the Cordless Framing Nailer. When encountering a
problem, the first step should always be to make sure the
battery has enough energy to operate the tool.
When the work contacting element is pressed on work
piece, the fan motor will turn on and blinking green light will
turn solid green. If the light blinks red or glows red, recharge
battery.
Fuel Cartridge Check
If the nailerʼs fan operates and the light is green but the tool
will not cycle consistently or at all, check the fuel cartridge.
First remove the fuel cartridge from the tool and check the
“Best Use Before” date stamped on the bottom. If it is
beyond this date, the fuel cartridge may not consistently
dispense the proper amount of fuel – even if the cartridge
has never been used. To test if the cartridge still dispenses
fuel:
DANGER
Wear safety glasses when performing this test. Never
perform this test near an open flame or sparks, while
smoking, or where the fuel may get into your eyes.
1. Hold the cartridge in the upright position with the flat
bottom toward the ground – this orientation is important
for a proper test.
2. Gently push the tip of the cartridge cap against a solid
object five times.
3. A small amount of fuel should be released all five times.
4. If fuel is not released every time it indicates the cartridge
is empty or expired* and must be replaced.

or sideways but will not work more than a couple of times in
the upright position because of the reduced internal pressure (see page 10 for more information).

5/32 hex key.
4. Pull handle/magazine away from the nose of the tool
and clear jam.
5. Realign handle magazine to nose, and tighten mounting
screws.
