WARNING
EXPLOSION/FIRE
HAZARD
Read ALL safety instructions
before using
the fuel cell. Failure to fol-
low ALL instructions may
This may cause serious per-
sonal injuries or property
damage.
Keep the fuel cartridge
away from heat, sparks
and open flame. Do not
smoke when handling or
operating tool or fuel cart-
ridge.
Exposure to temperatures
above 120°F (49°C) may
the fuel cartridge to
burst, releasing
flammable
gas.
WARNING
Sunlight can raise the inside temperature of an
unventilated motor vehicle or storage container to
above 140°F (60°C).
Never puncture or attempt to open the fuel; it is
nonrefillable.
Never incinerate, reclaim or recycle the fuel.
Never smoke while installing or operating the fuel
cartridge or tool.
Never inhale the spray.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Store fuel cartridge(s) in well-ventilated areas only.
NOTE
1. Never attempt to refill the cartridge! Replace
with fresh fuel cartridge, and dispose of spent
cartridge properly.

2. When replacing fuel cartridge also clean or replace
air filter for optimum tool operation.
Paslode Framing Fuel Cell
The fuel contains a small amount of oil to keep the tool
lubricated during use. It is not necessary to oil the tool
during normal operation. When cleaning the tool, use only
Paslode Cordless tool oil. Using oils not formulated for the
Paslode Cordless Tool, may cause loss of power and may
damage the internal parts of the tool's motor.
NOTE: Altitude Restriction
Paslode Cordless tools are powered by an internal
combustion engine and are effected by altitude. The
tool may lose power or not cycle consistantly at
elevations of 6000 feet or greater. For optimum perform-
ance use at 6000 feet or less.
DANGER
2. Do not attempt to install the fuel cartridge cap on
other fuel cells. This may result in damage to the
tool and injury to the user and by standers!
Paslode Framing Fuel Cell
innerThis container holds the fuel. The space
innerbetween the container and the outer cylinder is filled
with a gas, called the propellant, which is under pressure.
To eject the fuel, propellant pressure squeezes the inner
fuel container much as you squeeze a tube of toothpaste.
This squeezing action ensures that all the fuel is used,
and that the Cordless Nailer can operate in any position.
However, over time the propellant pressure diminishes
until it is no longer able to squeeze the inner fuel
container. This is why a nailer using a fuel cartridge
beyond the “Best Use Before” date may not work consis-
tently or at all.

result in explosion or fire.
Do not attempt to remove or reuse the
Paslode Framing Fuel Cell .
There is a second container inside the Paslode Framing
Fuel Cell.
If you expose the empty or expired Paslode Framing Fuel
Cell to extreme temperatures, the propellant gas will expand
and could cause the container to burst, releasing flammable
gases.
