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