Introduction and Warranty

Paslode Cordless 16 Gauge Angled Lithium-ion Finish Nailer Operating Manual

This manual is intended to acquaint you with the Paslode Cordless 16 ga. Angled Lithium-ion Finish Nailer. Unlike other power fastening tools, the Cordless Finish Nailer is powered by an internal combustion linear motor. In simpler terms, your Cordless Finish Nailer is powered by a motor similar to the one that powers an automobile. The Cordless Finish Nailer ignites a fuel and air mixture to produce the energy to drive the motor, which in turn drives the fastener. The Cordless Finish 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 many of the technical terms so that you can easily understand how to get the maximum performance from your Cordless Finish Nailer, and how to avoid damaging the tool or injuring yourself. But, to accomplish this, we need you to do two things:

The Cordless Finish 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 Finish 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 Finish 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.

Battery and Charging System

Battery and Charging System

The Paslode Cordless 16 Gauge Angled Lithium-ion Finish Nailer comes with a rechargeable battery and its own charging system. This charging system is the only one that will work with the Paslode lithium-ion batteries. The first step in preparing a new tool for operation is to fully charge the battery.

New batteries are shipped partially discharged and must be charged prior to first use. Batteries will take 5 minutes to 1 hour (time will be dependant on the amount of discharge of the battery) to recharge.

Important Charging Notes

Warning

CHEMICAL/EXPLOSION HAZARD

Read ALL instructions before charging or using battery. Failure to follow ALL instructions may result in fire, severe burns, or release of toxic materials.

Charging Instructions

Fuel Cartridge

Fuel Cartridge

DANGER

E X P L O S I O N / F I R E 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 injuries 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

PaslodeCordlesstechnologyispoweredbyaninternal combustion engine and are effected by altitude. The

tool may lose power or become erratic at elevations of

6000 feet or. greater.

9

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 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 federal hazardous waste 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 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.
