This manual is intended to acquaint you with the Paslode
Cordless 1-1/2” Positive Placement®Nailer. Unlike other
power fastening tools, this Cordless Nailer is powered by
an internal combustion linear motor. In simpler terms,
your Cordless Nailer is powered by a motor similar to the
one that powers an automobile. This Cordless Nailer
ignites a fuel and air mixture to product the energy to
power the motor, which in turn drives the fastener. This
Cordless Nailer is totally self-contained. It carries its own
fuel supply and battery, along with a supply of fasteners.
For ease of use, this manual is divided into sections (see
Contents). Each section of the manual is written with you,
the tool operator, in mind. We have left out many of the
technical terms so that you can easily understand how to get
the maximum performance from your CordlessNailer, and
how to avoid damaging the tool or injuring yourself. But, to
accomplish this, we need you to do two things:

2. When replacing fuel cartridge also clean or replace
air filter for optimum tool operation.
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.

ecapsehT.leufehtsdlohreniatnocsihT renni
between 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.
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.

Paslode Cordless Fuel Cell/Cartridge Disposal Guidelines
Paslode the industry leader in cordless technology provides this information to assist users with the proper disposal of discarded
fuel cells/cartridges. Acceptable disposal options vary depending on the type of fuel cell/cartridge users. All users must cons ider
federal, state and local solid waste regulations to ensure that discarded fuel cells/cartridges are disposed of properly. Users must
contact their local solid waste authority for further guidance.
Discarded fuel cells/cartridges (used or unused) may be considered hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) depending on several factors as described in the paragraphs that follow. Upon disposal used and unused
fuel cells/cartridges may be classified as ignitable hazardous waste (waste code D001) under U.S. EPA regulations.
Hazardous waste generated by homeowners and contractors who perform routine maintenance for homeowners in their homes are
not regulated by RCRA. In general, "household wastes" generated by homeowners and their contractors are exempt from hazard-
ous waste regulation because those wastes are expressly excluded from the definition of hazardous waste. For example US EPA
has excluded as "household waste" aerosol cans that contain residual product and propellent. Thus under federal hazardous waste
regulations homeowners and contractors may dispose of discarded fuel cells/cartridges as general refuse in a properly permitted
municipal landfill. These users must still contact their local solid waste authority to determine if any state or local regulation
prohibits or restricts such disposal.
Paslode takes no responsibility for proper fuel cell/cartridge disposal. Proper disposal remains the responsibility of sellers and
users. All sellers and users must contact their local solid waste authority to determine if any federal, state or local regulation
prohibits or restricts disposal. Users may obtain more information about U.S. EPA hazardous waste regulations at the following
internet address: www.epa.gov/epaoswee.osw/hazwaste.htm
Alternatively users may contact U.S. EPA's RCRA Superfund Call Center at 1-800-424-9346 to receive more information.

Lockout Feature
The purpose of this feature is to prevent needless
blank cycling, which could mar woods,waste fuel and
damage tool components . Five (5) 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.

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.
CORRECT NAIL LOADING PROCEDURE
Slide nail strip into back
of magazine
Depress lever, then pull nail
follower back past nail strip
Gently release follower onto rear
of nail strip, to prevent collation
damage
Use the Cordless Nailer outdoors, in dry weather,
when the nailer, fuel cartridge and battery are
between 45º (7.2ºC) and 120ºF (49ºC).
The Cordless 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 Nailer is idle for
extended periods, keep the fuel and tool out of direct
sunlight and in surroundings where temperatures will
not exceed 120ºF (49ºC). 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.
When storing the Cordless Nailer in temperatures
below 45°F (7.2°C) it may be necessary to first warm
up the fuel and tool for proper operation.
Fuel cartridges at colder temperatures can lose their
required propellent pressure. To correct this simply
warm up the fuel cartridge by placing it in an inside
coat pocket for several minutes.
Once the fuel is warm, insert the cartridge into the tool.
Quickly depress the tool two times onto the work
surface and hold the tool in the down position after
the second actuation. Wait one or two seconds then
pull the trigger. This action is referred to as “double
pumping” and provides a richer fuel mixture to the
cold tool to help initiate combustion.

Depth of Drive Adjustment
Remove the battery before adjusting the depth of
drive.
The depth of drive adjustment is done by turning the
adjustment wheel as shown by the arrows on the side of
the tool.

times until the temperature of the tool warms up enough
Once the tool reaches operational temperature the tool
will generate it’s own heat and will function normally.
If the tool sits for an for an extended period of time and
cools down it may be necessary to repeat these steps.
CAUTION
The Cordless 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 the tool to malfunction.

BATTERY
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
Attempts to go beyond these procedures could result in
serious personal injury or damage to the Cordless Nailer
and voiding the warranty.
There are certain problems you may encounter when
you are using the Cordless Nailer that you will be able to
correct on the work site. The following field service
procedures are the only service procedures you should
attempt. Anything else that may appear wrong with the
Cordless Nailer should only be diagnosed and repaired
by a fully trained service technician. If you have any
reason to believe that your problem is beyond the
service procedures in this manual, contact your
Paslode®representative immediately.
If the Cordless Nailer’s fan operates and the indicator
light is green, but the tool will not cycle or does not drive
fasteners completely, check the fuel cartridge. With the
fuel cartridge out of the tool, check to see if the cartridge
still contains fuel and that the metering valve is working.
To determine if there is any fuel left in the fuel cartridge,
hold in the upright position and simply place the metering
stem against a solid object, and gently push about three
or four times. A small amount of fuel should be released
each time.
Periodically check on the battery indicator light (the light
in the handle) of the Cordless Nailer. When encountering
a problem, the first step should always be to make sure
the battery has enough charge to operate the tool.
When the Nail Hole Locating Probe is depressed on the
work piece, the fan motor will turn on and the blinking
green indicator light will turn solid green. If the indicator
light blinks red or glows red, recharge the battery.
