The Paslode Cordless 16 ga. Straight Finish Nailer drives
Paslode
®
16 gauge straight fasteners designed to be
used with the tool. The use of fasteners that do not meet
Paslode standards could cause tool damage and will void
all warranty claims.
Loading Fasteners
Step 1: Insert one or two strips of Paslode16 Gauge Straight
Finish Nails into the rear of the magazine and slide forward.
Step 2: While applying pressure to the release lever, pull the
follower toward the rear of the magazine until the follower
passes the last strip of fasteners.
Step 3: Release the lever on the follower and let the follower
push the nails forward into the nose of the tool.
In the illustration above, you will see an indicator arrow on
the side of the follower. When the indicator arrow is in the
reload area, marked on the side of the magazine, you may
insert a new strip of nails. When the indicator arrow reaches
the lockout area the tool automatically locks, preventing the
tool from operating. To unlock the tool, simply reload
another strip of nails.
Paslode Cordless 16 ga. Straight
Finish Nailer and Outdoor Weather
Use the Cordless Finish Nailer outdoors, in dry
weather, when the nailer, fuel cell, and battery are
between 20°F (-7°C) and 120°F (49°C).
HOT WEATHER OPERATION
The Cordless Finish 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 Finish 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 pressure. Bring the tool, fuel cell, and
battery above 20° F (-7° C) by placing the tool in a
heated building or vehicle. Never expose the tool,
fuel cell or battery to flame
Preparing the Paslode Cordless 16 ga. Straight Finish Nailer
CAUTION
The Cordless Finish Nailer should not be used in
the rain or where excessive moisture is present.
The use of Paslode Cordless Technology under
these conditions may result in damage to tool
components and cause the tool to malfunction.
Pull Follower
➔
The purpose of this feature is to prevent needless
blank cycling, which could mar woods, waste fuel
and damage tool components .Ten (10) nails will be
left in the magazine when the follower reaches the
lockout area. When changing fastener length or
loading at the beginning of the work day, you should
inspect the magazine and nose for any fasteners left
in the tool. These nails will not be visible unless you
open the nose of the tool.
