Introduction and Warranty
Cordless Stapler Operating Manual
This manual is intended to acquaint you with the Paslode
Cordless Stapler. Unlike other power fastening tools, the
Cordless Stapler is powered by an internal combustion
linear motor. In simpler terms, your Cordless Stapler is
powered by a motor similar to the one that powers an
automobile. The Cordless Stapler 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
Stapler 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 Stapler, 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 Stapler 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 Stapler, 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 Stapler ,
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.

An Overview of the Cordless Stapler
Description
The Cordless Stapler is a self-contained, fully portable tool
that uses liquid hydrocarbon fuel to power a unique linear
drive internal combustion motor.
In order for you to fully understand the information contained
in this manual, you need a basic understanding of the
Cordless Stapler. As you can see in the illustration below,
the Cordless Stapler is made up of three separable
assemblies: handle, motor and rail.
As you examine the Cordless Stapler, become familiar with
the three major assemblies and the various components
located in each of them.
The Handle Assembly contains the fuel cell, the battery
indicator light, and the trigger.
The Motor Assembly contains the cover and filter, the
motor housing, the nose, and the work contacting element.
The Rail Assembly contains the components to load and
control the specfic fastener for the Impulse Stapler.

Safety Instructions
The following safety instructions have been included in this
booklet to provide you with basic information necessary for
safe operation of the Paslode Stapler. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO OPERATE THIS TOOL UNTIL YOU HAVE READ AND
UNDERSTAND ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND
MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS.
In addition to these instructions, training may be necessary.
Contact your Paslode representative for additional
information.
DANGER
WARNING
Do not expose the tool to
temperatures in excess of
120° F (49° C). Fuel and/
or the battery may burst,
releasing flammable gas.
The Cordless Stapler is an
internal combustion
device. It produces hot
exhaust gases that may
ignite flammable
materials. This tool must
not be used in a
combustible environment
or in the presence of
combustible materials,
such as flammable
chemicals, adhesives,
gasoline, or solvents.
WARNING
Do not attempt to operate
this tool until you have
read and understood all
safety precautions and
manual instructions.
Failure to follow all safety
precautions and
instructions may result in
a permanent loss of vision,
serious personal or even
fatal injury, property
damage and/or tool
damage.
WARNING
This tool must be operated
only in a well-ventilated
environment, because
the tool exhausts carbon
monoxide similar to a gas
chainsaw or lawnmower.
Exposure to carbon
monoxide may cause
dizziness, nausea, or
unconsciousness.
WARNING
ALWAYS keep the
Cordless Stapler, fuel cell,
battery and battery
charger out of the reach
of children.
4
WARNING
Always wear EYE and
EAR safety gear when
working with or in the
vicinity of the Cordless
Stapler.
Safety Instructions
CONTACTING ELEMENT.
This device helps reduce the possibility of accidental
fastener discharge by preventing the tool from operating
until it is completely against the work surface.
NEVER operate the tool if the work contacting element
is not working properly.
8. ALWAYS POINT THE TOOL AWAY FROM
YOURSELF AND OTHERS WHEN CLEARING JAMS
OR REMOVING FASTENERS.
1. Eye protection must meet the requirements of ANSI
Standard Z87.1 and should have side shields for
increased protection.
2. NEVER ASSUME THE TOOL IS EMPTY.
Never point the tool at yourself or anyone else.
3. NEVER ENGAGE IN "HORSEPLAY" WITH THE TOOL.
The Cordless Stapler is not a toy – it is a tool. Careless
and improper use may result in a serious accident.
4. NEVER CARRY THE TOOL WITH YOUR FINGER ON,
OR SQUEEZING, THE TRIGGER.
This practice may result in the accidental discharge of
a fastener.
5. NEVER OPERATE A MALFUNCTIONING TOOL.
Refer to the servicing or troubleshooting section of this
manual to correct the problem. If the problem cannot be
corrected, stop using the tool and report it to your
supervisor or Paslode® representative.
6. DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS WITH THE TRIGGER
AND/OR WORK CONTACTING ELEMENT PRESSED
IN.
A fastener may be accidentally discharged.
Pull the follower slightly back and push the release
lever. Tip the tool nose up slightly and fasteners should
slide out of the rear of the magazine. If fasteners are
jammed, refer to the appropriate servicing section of
this manual.
9. NEVER OPERATE THE IMPULSE STAPLER IF
PARTS ARE LOOSE, DAMAGED OR MISSING.
10. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS INTO KNOTS OR ON
TOP OF OTHER FASTENERS.
A fastener may ricochet and cause serious injury.
11. OPERATE THE TOOL ONLY ON THE WORKPIECE.
WARNING
The Cordless Stapler
should be operated only
when it is in contact with
the work surface. When
fastening thin materials
such as plywood, be sure
to position the tool so that
the fastener is driven into
the underlying piece.
7. NEVER REMOVE OR DISABLE THE WORK
