SAFETY FIRST
These safety instructions provide information necessary
for safe operation of Paslode® tools. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO OPERATE THE TOOL UNTIL YOU READ AND
UNDERSTAND ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND
MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS.
WEAR EYE AND HEARING PROTECTION
Always wear hearing and eye protection devices, that
conform to ANZI Z87.1 requirements, when operating or
working in the vicinity of a tool. As an employer you are
.
Wear hard hats in environments that require their use.
THE TOOL MUST BE USED ONLY FOR THE PURPOSE
FOR WHICH IT WAS DESIGNED
Do not throw the tool on the floor, strike the housing in
any way or use the tool as a hammer to knock material into
place.
DISCONNECT THE TOOL WHEN NOT IN USE
Always disconnect the tool from the air line when it is
not in use, when you leave the work area or when
moving the tool to a new location. The tool must
never be left unattended because people who are not
familiar with the tool might handle it and injure
themselves or others.
CARRY THE TOOL ONLY BY THE HANDLE
Always carry the tool by the tool handle. Never carry
the tool by the air hose or with the trigger depressed
since you could drive a fastener unintentionally and
injure yourself or someone else.
DO NOT WEAKEN THE TOOL HOUSING
The tool housing is a pressure vessel and should never
be weakened by having your company’s name, area
of work or anything else stamped or engraved into its
surface.
The tool is not a toy so do not use it like one. Never
engage in horseplay with the tool or point it at yourself
or any other person, even if you think it is not loaded.
NEVER ASSUME THE TOOL IS EMPTY
Check the tool nose for fasteners that may be left in the
tool. Even if you think the tool is empty or disconnected,
never point it at anyone or yourself. Unseen fasteners
could fire from the tool.
NEVER CLAMP THE TOOL NOSE IN A LOCKED OR
OR OPERATING POSITION
The nose of the tool must never be tampered with,
disabled or clamped in a locked or operating position
since this will cause the tool to drive a fastener any time
the work contacting element depressed.
DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS WITH THE AIR LINE
WORK CONTACTING ELEMENT DEPRESSED
When loading fasteners into the tool be sure you
disconnect the air line and that you do not depress the nose
trigger or work contacting element.
OPERATE THE TOOL ONLY ON A WORKPIECE
The tool should be operated only when it is in contact
with the work piece. Even then you should be careful
when fastenin
and corners of the work piece since the fasteners may
drive through or away from the work piece.
DO NOT DISABLE OR REMOVE THE WORK
CONTACTING ELEMENT
This tool is equipped with a safety mechanism, called a
work contacting element, to help prevent
accidental firing. Never tamper with, disable or remove
the work contacting element. Do not use the tool unless
e work contacting element is working properly. The
tool could fire unexpectedly.
thin material or working near the edges
DISCONNECT THE TOOL WHEN PERFORMING
REPAIRS AND CLEARING JAMS
Never attempt to clear a jam or repair a tool unless you
have disconnected the tool from the air line and
removed all remaining fasteners from the tool.
ALWAYS USE THE PROPER FITTING FOR THE
TOOL
Onl
MALE pneumatic type air connectors should be
fitted to the tool, so that high pressure air in the tool is
vented to atmosphere as soon as the air line is
disconnected.
NEVER install FEMALE quick disconnect couplings on
the tool. Female couplings will trap high pressure air
in the tool when the air line is disconnected, leaving
the tool charged and able to drive at least one fastener.
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED
Operate the tool only at the recommended air pressure.
Do not exceed the maximum air pressure marked
on the tool. Be sure the air pressure gauge is
operating properly and check it at least twice a day.
Never use any bottled air or gases such as oxygen to
operate the tool since they could cause the tool to
explode.
INSPECT TOOL FOR PROPER OPERATION
Clean the tool at least daily and lubricate as required.
Never operate a dirty or malfunctioning tool.
USE ONLY PASLODE RECOMMENDED PARTS
Use only parts specifically designed and recommended by
Paslode for use in the tool and for work to be done. Using
unauthorized parts and fasteners or modifying the tool in any
way creates dangerous situations. Replace all missing warning
labels---refer to tool schematic for correct placement and part
number.
Failure to follow any of the above instructions could result in severe personal injury

1. SAFETY - All tool operators and their immediate
supervisors must become familiar with the operator
safety instructions before operating the tool. The
instructions are on page 4 of this manual.
2. Included with each tool are one copy of this
Safety and Maintenance manual and one copy of
the Tool Schematic. Keep these publications for
future reference.
3. Install the male air fitting (if not already fitted) The
fitting must be a male pneumatic type that
disconnected.
4. Install a filter/regulator/lubricator unit, with a
gauge as close as practical to the tool, preferab ly
within ten feet. In general, no other special
installation is required.
5. If the operator is working at a bench or table, it is
usually best to run the air line underneath the bench.
A small tray under the bench top can hold the
fastener supply and the tool when not in use.
Switching the Trigger
The tool is manufactured with a trigger that can be
operation. The trigger is placed in the sequential
operating position when the tool was manufactured.
To switch the trigger to the Bump fire operating
position follow these instructions, as illustrated on the
label tag affixed to the trigger:
Step 1 - Remove roll pin

this is not possible, the following procedure should
be used to warm up the tools.
❑ Tool operators working outdoors or in unheated
areas in extremely cold temperatures should also:
Use Paslode pneumatic oil with antifreeze in the
lubricator, Part No. 219090 (8oz.)
Once a week, depending on the amount of tool use,
take the tool apart and wash away any sludge with
degreaser cleaner (Paslode Part No. 219086) to
keep the tool operating efficiently.
CAUTION
Never use kerosene or flammable solvents
to clean the tool.
Cleaning the air-operated tools with solvents
removes the thin coating of grease applied to the
cylinder wall and O-rings at the factory. To replace
this coating of grease, use Chemplex grease
(Paslode Part No. 403734).
❑ Open the drain on the air compressor tank to
drain any moisture at least daily in extremely cold or
humid weather. A few ounces of anti-freeze in the
tank will keep the air free of frost.
Testing the Tool After Servicing
After replacing any part or parts, it is important to
check the tool for proper operation. This ensures
that the tool was put together correctly, is safe to
use, and will perform the job properly.
❑ Ensure that all hardware is tight.
❑ Ensure that the work contacting element is
installed correctly in relation to the trigger, and that
both parts move freely.
❑ Ensure that the magazine is properly attached.
❑ Ensure that the required safety information on the

❑ Use only Paslode approved fasteners in the tool,
and ensure that they are correct for the application.
❑ Ensure that a male air fitting is securely
connected to the tool.
❑ Test the tool by driving fasteners into a work
piece identical to the tool's application.
❑ Check the tool for air leaks during testing and for
the proper sequence of operation.
❑ Ensure that all fasteners are driven to the same
the work piece.
Tool Lubrication
It is most important that the tool be properly
lubricated by keeping the air line lubricator filled and
correctly adjusted. Without proper lubrication the
tool will not work
prematurely.
Use the proper lubricant in the air line lubricator.
The lubricator should be of low air flow or changing
air flow type, and should be kept filled to the correct
level. Use only Paslode recommended lubricants.
Substitutes may harm the rubber compounds in the
No. 403720 is a pneumatic lubricating oil specially
made for pneumatic applications.
