Preparing the Paslode Cordless Framing Nailer for Use
Fasteners
The Paslode Cordless Framing Nailer drives Paslode
clipped-head nails and RounDrive
® nails, which have been
collated into strips. The use of nails that do not meet Paslode
standards could cause tool damage and void your warranty.
Paslode nail sizes and types are illustrated in the Fasteners
and Applications section.
Loading Fasteners
STEP 1: To load, pull the follower handle back to the rear
lock position (button will pop out).
STEP 2: Insert a strip of nails and release follower by
pushing on button.
There is a reload indicator on follower and tool. A full strip
can be loaded in this area as shown above.
Paslode Cordless Framing Nailer and
Outdoor Weather
Use the Cordless Framing Nailer outdoors, in clear weather,
when the nailer, fuel cell, and battery are between 20°F (-
7°C) and 120°F (49°C.
HOT WEATHER OPERATION
The Cordless Framing Nailer requires cooling of the motor
assembly to operate properly. The fan normally provides
the necessary air flow to permit continuous operation.
Whenever the Cordless Framing Nailer is idle for extended
periods, keep the fuel and tool out of direct sunlight and in
surroundings where temperatures will not exceed 120°F
(49°C). After extended periods of continuous use, it may be
necessary to cool the motor by setting tool aside for 10-15
minutes or until the tool operates normally. An overheated
tool may not drive nails completely or may operate erratically.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
Fuel cells at cold temperatures lose the required propellant
force. Bring the tool, battery, and fuel cell above minimum
operating temperature without direct exposure to flame, and
check the battery.
CAUTION
The Cordless Framing Nailer should not be used in the
rain or where excessive moisture is present. The use
of the Paslode Cordless Technology under these
conditions may result in damage to tool components
and cause tool to malfunction.
The purpose of this feature is to prevent needless
blank cycling,which could waste fuel and damage
tool components. Five (5) nails will be left in the
magazine when the follower reaches the lockout
area. The indicator arrow shows that you can reload.
It does not indicate that the Cordless Framing Nailer
is empty. Because of a lockout feature in the
Cordless Framing Nailer it will not operate when the
nail supply in the tool is less than six (6) nails.
