Paslode Cordless Roofing Nailer Operating Manual

This manual is intended to acquaint you with the Paslode Cordless Roofing Nailer. Unlike other power fastening tools, the Cordless Roofing Nailer is powered by an internal combustion linear motor. In simpler terms, your Cordless Roofing Nailer is powered by a motor similar to the one that powers an automobile. The Cordless Roofing Nailer ignites a fuel and air mixture to produce the energy to drive the motor, which in turn drives the fastener. The Cordless Roofing Nailer is totally selfcontained. 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 many of the technical terms so that you can easily understand how to get the maximum performance from your Cordless Roofing 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.

The Cordless Roofing Nailer should be handled like other power fastening tools that you use. Like most tools, when used improperly injury could result . If you are going to allow others to use the Cordless Roofi ngNailer, 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 R o o f i n g Nailer, or wish to obtain additional copies of this manual, please contact your Paslode

® representative. The spacebelow is pro-

vided so that you may record your representative's name, address, and telephone number.

Battery Disposal:

The Paslode batteries contain cadmium and must be recycled or disposed of properly. It is illegal in some areas to place a nickel-cadmium battery into the trash or solid waste stream. You may contact your local recycling center for information on where to return the spent battery or call 1-800-822-8837 for information on Ni-Cd battery recycling in your area.

A fastener may exit at an angle unexpectedly and cause injury.

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 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 of the

battery) to recharge.

Quicklode™ Fuel Cartridge

Fuel Cartridge

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.

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 prop-

erty 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 above120°F (49°

cause the fuel cartridge to

burst, gas.

WARNING

C) may

releasing flammable

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.

NOTE

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 5000 feet or greater.

Fuel Cartridge

NOTE:

Paslode Cordless fuel cartridges are marked with a “Best Use Before” date on the bottom of the can.

For maximum performance use fuel before the “Best Use Before” date.

DANGER

Paslode Cordless Fuel Cartridges are flammable. Do not remove fuel cartridge cap or install on other fuel cartridges!

Paslode Cordless Fuel Cell/Cartridge Disposal Guidelines

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.

ider

must

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.
