5. HANDLING OF FUEL CELL

The Fuel Cell is double structured; the inner container has been filled with a liquid fuel gas and the outer
one with a propellant gas (another pressurized gas).
Like squeezing a toothpaste tube, the inner fuel gas is pushed out by the pressure of the propellant gas,
thus being used up to the last without wasting it. Because of this structure, the combustible propellant
gas in the outer container remains even after the fuel gas in the inner container has been used.
Therefore, utmost care should be taken when disposing the empty Fuel Cell.

WARNING:

● Be sure to use the Fuel Cell exclusively designed for the MAX Cordless Fastening System.
● Never smoke a cigarette when attaching or operating a jet valve.
● Do not remove a rubber plug from the bottom of the Fuel Cell except at disposal.
● Do not make a hole in the Fuel Cell.
● Be careful not to breathe in the gas.

Breathing in the gas could cause sleepiness, dizziness or nausea.

● Never jet the gas to the human body.
● Do not incinerate or recycle the empty Fuel Cell.

(See Page 19 for disposal of the Fuel Cell)

WARNING:

● Attach the metering valve properly to the Fuel Cell.

Attach it firmly until it has “clicked.”
Unless it is properly attached, the fuel gas will not be jetted from the metering valve. Also, the
gas could leak, causing danger to you.
