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
space below is provided so that you may record your
representative's name, address, and telephone number.

Quicklode™ Fuel Cartridge
Fuel Cartridge
WARNING
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 serious
personal injuries or
property damage.
Keep the fuel cartridge
away from heat, sparks
and open flame. Do not
smoke when handling or
operating tool or fuel
cartridge.
Exposure to
temperatures above
120°F (49°C) may cause
the fuel cartridge to
burst, releasing
flammable gas.
WARNING
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
1. Do not attempt to remove or reuse the fuel
cartridge cap.
2. Do not attempt to install the fuel cartridge cap on
other fuel cells. This may result in damage to the
tool and injury to the user and by standers!
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.
10
NOTE
1. Never attempt to refill the cartridge! Replace
with fresh fuel cartridge, and dispose of spent
cartridge properly.
2. When replacing fuel cartridge also clean or replace
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 consistantly at
elevations of 6000 feet or greater. For optimum performance use at 6000 feet or less.

Paslode Cordless Fuel Cell/Cartridge Disposal Guidelines
“Best Use Before” Date
For maximum performance
Best By: Lot#
27 May 2011
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 consider
federal, state and local solid waste regulations to ensure that discarded fuel cells/cartridges are disposed of properly. Users must
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
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 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.
