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, that conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements, when operating or working in the vicinity of a tool. As an employer you are responsible for enforcing the use of eye protection. Wear hard hats in environments that require their use.
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.
DISCONNECT THE TOOL WHEN NOT IN USE
Always disconnect the tool from the air line when it is not in use, when you leave the work area or when moving the tool to a new location. The tool must 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 EXCEEDTHE 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 to explode.
INSPECT TOOL FOR PROPER OPERATION
Clean the tool at least daily and lubricate as required. Never operate a dirty or malfunctioning tool.
USE ONLY PASLODE RECOMMENDED PARTS 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.
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.
Contact your local Paslode Representative for a presentation of Paslode’s Safety Awareness Program.

TOOL INSTALLATION |
TOOL OPERATION |
Depth of Drive Adjustment
(On tools equipped with this feature)
Your Paslode tool comes ready for immediate use and can be installed by following these steps:
1.SAFETY - All tool operators and their immediate supervisors must become familiar with the operator safety instructions before operating the tool. The instructions are on page 4 of this manual.
2.Included with each tool is a copy of the operation manual and schematic. Keep this publication for future reference. An ownership registration card is
also included. This card must be completed and returned to Paslode immediately to register your ownership.
3.The plastic cap in the air inlet of the tool must be removed before the male fitting is installed. The fitting must be a male pneumatic type that discharges the air from the tool when the air line is disconnected.
4.Install a filter/regulator/lubricator unit, with a gauge as close as practical to the tool, preferably within ten feet. Refer to the Air Systems section of this manual for air hose requirements and lengths. In general, no other special installation is required.
5.If the operator is working at a bench or table,
it is usually best to run the air line underneath the bench. A small tray under the benchtop can hold the fastener supply and the tool when not in use.
6. If this tool does not work when it is first connected, do not try to make repairs. Call your Paslode representative immediately.
This feature allows you to set the depth of the fastener without having to adjust the air compressor. To use this feature, disconnect the air hose from the tool. Using the 3/16 hex wrench that is stored in the rear of the tools magazine, loosen the bolt on the nose work contact element( figure below). Adjust to the desired position and tighten the nose bolt. If the tool is over driving the nail, the probe should be moved downward. If the nail is standing, the probe should be adjusted upward.
Note:
Follow the metal connector manufacturer’s instructions when installing the nails. Always use the nail size specified by the metal connector manufacturer and/or the local building codes.

TOOL OPERATION - continued
Loading of Nails
Step No. 1- Grasp the nailer handle firmly. Pull the magazine follower all the way to the rear of the magazine until it is latched into its loading position by the magazine latch.
Step No. 2- Insert a strip of fasteners into the top of the magazine with the point of the nails facing the nose area.
Step No. 3- Hold the follower firmly and press the follower latch. Slide the follower forward until it contacts the nails. The tool is now ready to use.
Driving of Nails
The tool is equiped with a sequential trigger to operate the tool.
■
Depress the work contacting element and hold it against the work surface before pulling the trigger.
■
After each fastener is driven, completely release the trigger and lift the tool from the work surface.
Nose Probe
The nose probe’s unique design allows you to accurately and quickly install metal connectors.
Place the probe into the hole of the metal connector. Hold the tool perpendicular to the metal connector and pull the trigger.
WARNING
Use only fasteners that meet Paslode specifications.
Use of fasteners that do not meet Paslode specifications can result in damage to the tool or injury to the operator or by standers.
Do not mix different length fasteners.
Remove all fasteners before changing fastener length.

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.
•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.
•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.

AIR SYSTEMS - Continued
Calculating Compressor Size
Use the air consumption chart in the Tool Schematic for eaxh tool when calculating the operating requirements for the tools. Paslode tools are designed to operate efficiently between 80 and 120 psi and should never be operated at pressure greater than 120 psi. The air consumption chart will help you find the correct compressor size for your application that will quickly replenish tool air pressure.
To use the chart you will need to know how many tools will be used and approximately how many fasteners will be driven each minute by each tool onthe line. Using the equation:
Number of tools X average fasteners/minute/ tool X 1.2 (safety factor) X air consumption (scfm) @ pressure* (psi) = scfm required.
We can use the following example:
10 tools X 30 fasteners/minute/tool X 1.2 X 0.051scfm* (@100psi) = 18.36 scfm.
*This number is found in the Air Consumption Chart
In this example, using the air consumption chart we find that a compressor providing at least 19 scfm of air is required. Because in compressors approximately 1 hp is required to produce 4 scfm, a compressor of at least 5 hp is required.
Calculated Required Piping
For example, given a 20 hp electric compressor supplying approximately 80 cfm of air at 120 psi and a main supply pipe length of 350 feet, we see by the table the minimum main pipe inside diameter required for this application is 1-1/4 inch.
Pneumatic System Maintenance
-Be certain that:
•Pneumatic fittings are tight and do not leak.
and ensure that automatic draining systems are operating correctly.
•Air lines are cleared to prevent freezing, especially in winter.
•Lubricator operation is checked regularly and ensure it has an adequate supply of lubricant. (Paslode Part No. 403720)
•Only regulated air is being used and that each regulator is operating properly.
