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 and how to avoid damaging the tool or injuring yourself. But, to accomplish this, we need you to do two things:

Fuel Cartridge
Fuel Cartridge
DANGER
EXPLOSION/FIRE HAZARD
R ead ALL sa f ety instructions before using or handling the fuel cartridge. Failure to follow ALL instructions may result in explosion or fire. This may cause severe personal inj u r ies or property damage.
Keep the fuel cartridge away from heat, sparks and open flame.
Exposure to tempera­tures above 120°F (49°C) may cause the fuel cartridge to burst, releasing flammable gas.
There is a second container inside the fuel cartridge. 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 Finish Nailer 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 cartridge to extreme temperatures, the propellant gas will expand and could cause the container to burst, releasing flammable gases.
NOTE
1. When replacing fuel cartridge also clean or replace the air filter for optimum tool operation.
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 cartridge; it is non-refillable.
Never incinerate, reclaim or recycle the fuel cartridge.
Never smoke while installing the fuel cartridge.
Never inhale the spray.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Store fuel cartridge(s) in well-ventilated areas only.
NOTE: Altitude Restriction
Paslode Cordless technology is powered by an internal combustion engine and are effected by altitude. The tool may lose power or become erratic at elevations of
.
6000 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.
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.
ider
must
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.
