SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY FIRST

These safety instructions provide information necessary
for safe operation of Paslode

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
responsible for enforcing the use of eye protection.
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.

NEVER ENGAGE IN HORSEPLAY WITH THE TOOL

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 magazine 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 TRIGGER IN A LOCKED OR
OPERATING POSITION

The trigger 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
CONNECTED, OR WITH THE TOOL TRIGGER OR
WORK CONTACTING ELEMENT DEPRESSED

When loading fasteners into the tool be sure you
disconnect the air line and that you do not depress the
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 workpiece. Even then you should be careful
when fastening thin material or working near the edges
and corners of the workpiece since the fasteners may
drive through or away from the workpiece.

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
the work contacting element is working properly. The
tool could fire unexpectedly.

tools. DO NOT ATTEMPT

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 handle only. 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.

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

Only 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
AIR PRESSURE

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 AND
FASTENERS

Use only parts and fasteners 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.

WARNING

Failure to follow any of the above instructions could result in severe personal
injury to tool user and bystanders or cause damage to tool and property.
