Paslode Cordless Finish Nailer
Operating Manual
This manual is intended to acquaint you with the Paslode Cordless 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. As you will see, 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 all of the technical terms so that you can readily 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:
1.READ THE MANUAL FROM COVER TO COVER BEFORE USING THE TOOL.
2.FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THE MANUAL.
The Cordless Finish nailer 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 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.

Safety Instructions
WARNING
Always wear EYE and EAR safety gear when working with or in the vicinity of the Impulse® Finish Nailer.
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 Paslode Cordless Finish nailer 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.

6.DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS WITH THE TRIGGER AND/OR WORK CONTACTING ELEMENT PRESSED IN.
A fastener may be accidentally discharged.
7.NEVER REMOVE OR DISABLE THE WORK 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.
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 CORDLESS FINISH NAILER 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 Paslode Cordless Finish nailer 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.
