MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS.
WEAR EYE AND HEARING PROTECTION
Always wear hearing and eye protection devices, that
conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements, when operating
or working in the vicinity of a tool. As an employer you
are responsible for enforcing the use of eye protection.
Wear hard hats in environments that require their use.
THE TOOL MUST BE USED ONLY FOR THE PUR-
POSE FOR WHICH IT WAS DESIGNED
Do not throw the tool on the floor, strike the housing in
any way or use the tool as a hammer to knock material
into place.
NEVER ENGAGE IN HORSEPLAY WITH THE TOOL
The tool is not a toy so do not use it like one. Never
engage in horseplay with the tool or point it at yourself
or any other person, even if you think it is not loaded.
NEVER ASSUME THE TOOL IS EMPTY
Check the magazine for fasteners that may be left in the
tool. Even if you think the tool is empty or disconnected,
never point it at anyone or yourself. Unseen fasteners
could fire from the tool.
NEVER CLAMP THE TRIGGER IN A LOCKED OR
OPERATING POSITION
The trigger of the tool must never be tampered with,
disabled or clamped in a locked or operating position
since this will cause the tool to drive a fastener any
time
the work contacting element depressed.
DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS WITH THE AIR LINE
CONNECTED, OR WITH THE TOOL TRIGGER OR
WORK CONTACTING ELEMENT DEPRESSED
When loading fasteners into the tool be sure you
disconnect the air line and that you do not depress
the trigger or work contacting element.
OPERATE THE TOOL ONLY ON A WORKPIECE
The tool should be operated only when it is in contact
with the workpiece. Even then you should be careful
when fastening thin material or working near the edges
and corners of the workpiece since the fasteners may
drive through or away from the workpiece.
DO NOT DISABLE OR REMOVE THE WORK
CONTACTING ELEMENT
This tool is equipped with a safety mechanism, called a
a work contacting element, to help prevent accidental
firing. Never tamper with, disable or remove the work
contacting element. Do not use the tool unless the work
contacting element is working properly.The tool could
fire unexpectedly.
®
DISCONNECT THE TOOL WHEN NOT IN USE
Always disconnect the tool from the air line when it
is not in use, when you leave the work area or when
moving the tool to a new location. The tool must
never be left unattended because people who are
not familiar with the tool might handle it and injure
themselves or others.
CARRY THE TOOL ONLY BY THE HANDLE
Always carry the tool by the handle only. Never carry
the tool by the air hose or with the trigger depressed
since you could drive a fastener unintentionally and
injure yourself or someone else.
DO NOT WEAKEN THE TOOL HOUSING
The tool housing is a pressure vessel and should never
be weakened by having your companyʼs name, area of
work or anything else stamped or engraved into its
surface.
DISCONNECT THE TOOL WHEN PERFORMING
REPAIRS AND CLEARING JAMS
Never attempt to clear a jam or repair a tool unless you
have disconnected the tool from the air line and
removed all remaining fasteners from the tool.
ALWAYS USE THE PROPER FITTING FOR THE
TOOL
Only MALE pneumatic type air connectors should be
fitted to the tool, so that high pressure air in the tool is
vented to atmosphere as soon as the air line is dis-
connected.
NEVER install FEMALE quick disconnect couplings on
the tool. Female couplings will trap high pressure air in
the tool when the air line is disconnected, leaving the
tool charged and able to drive at least one fastener.
DO NOT EXCEEDTHE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED
AIR PRESSURE

TOOL INSTALLATION
Your Paslode tool comes ready for immediate
use and can be installed by following these steps:
1. SAFETY - All tool operators and their immediate
supervisors must become familiar with the operator
safety instructions before operating the tool. The
instructions are on page 4 of this manual.
2. Included with each tool is a copy of the operation
manual and schematic.
Keep this publication for
future reference. An ownership registration card is
also included. This card must be completed and
returned to Paslode immediately to register your
ownership.
3. The plastic cap in the air inlet of the tool must be
removed before the male fitting is installed. The fit-
ting must be a male pneumatic type that discharges
the air from the tool when the air line is disconnected.
4. Install a filter/regulator/lubricator unit, with a
gauge as close as practical to the tool, preferably
within ten feet. Refer to the Air Systems section of
this manual for air hose requirements and lengths.
In general, no other special installation is required.
5. If the operator is working at a bench or table,
it is usually best to run the air line underneath the
bench. A small tray under the benchtop can hold
the fastener supply and the tool when not in use.
6. If this tool does not work when it is first connect-
ed, do not try to make repairs. Call your Paslode
representative immediately.

AIR SYSTEMS
For air-powered tools to work their best, the air
supply system must be properly installed and
maintained regularly. A drawing in this section
shows a properly installed air supply system.
Handy checklists for installing and maintaining
air supply systems follow.
Indoor Air System Installation
-Be certain that:
• All pipes supplying air have a large enough
inside diameter to ensure adequate air supply.
•The main supply pipe slopes down, away
from the compressor (1/16 inch per foot).
•Air storage is provided along lengthy air lines.
•Pipe line branch outlets are at the top of the
main pipe line.
• Cutoff valves are provided at each branch
pipe line throughout the system.
•
Water legs extend from the bottom of each
branch line.
•
A refrigerant-type dryer is installed on the
system.
• Air hoses are kept as short as practical.
•A regular maintenance program is followed.
Outdoor Air System Installation
-Be certain that:
•
A moisture trap and a filter/regulator/lubricator
are installed at the compressor.
•
Air hoses and fittings are large enough so that
air flow is not restricted. Minimum hose size is
3/8 inch ID with 1/2 inch ID hose used for any
application over 25 feet.
•Air hoses are not longer than 150 feet.
•The air system is lubricated regularly.
•A regular maintenance program is followed.
Filter/Regulator/Lubricator Units
Filter/regulator/lubricator units that can supply
enough air and protection for Paslode tools
must meet the following specifications:
• Minimum 3/8 inch NPT port size .
• 50 micron or fine filters.
• Regulated pressure from zero to 120 psi.
•Lubricators designed for low or changing
airflow.

AIR SYSTEMS - Continued
Calculating Compressor Size
Use the air consumption chart in the tool
schematic for each tool when calculating
the operating requirements for the tools.
Paslode tools are designed to operate
efficiently between 80 and 120 psi and
than 120 psi.
The air consumption chart will help you find
the correct compressor size for your appli-
cation that will quickly replenish tool air
pressure.
To use the chart you will need to know how
many tools will be used and approximately
how many fasteners will be driven each
minute by each tool on the line.
Number of tools X average fasteners/minute/
tool X 1.2 (safety factor) X air consumption
(scfm) @ pressure* (psi) = scfm required.
We can use the following example:
10 tools X 30 fasteners/minute/tool X 1.2 X
0.051scfm* (@100psi) = 18.36 scfm.
*This number is found in the Air Consumption
Chart
In this example, using the air consumption
chart we find that a compressor providing
at least 19 scfm of air is required. Because
in compressors approximately 1 hp is re-
quired produce 4 scfm, a compressor of at
least 5 hp is required.
Calculated Required Piping
For example, given a 20 hp electric compressor
supplying approximately 80 cfm of air at 120 psi
and a main supply pipe length of 350 feet, we see
by the table the minimum main pipe inside diam-
eter required for this application is 1-1/4 inch.
Pneumatic System Maintenance
- Be certain that:
•Pneumatic fittings are tight and do not leak.
and ensure that automatic draining systems are
operating correctly.
• Air lines are cleared to prevent freezing,
especially in winter.
• Lubricator operation is checked regularly and
ensure it has an adequate supply of lubricant.
(Part No. 403720)
• Only regulated air is being used and that each
regulator is operating properly.

MAINTENANCE
Paslode®tools are built for ease of maintenance. A few
simple details will assure trouble-free operation and long
tool life. Anyone who uses or maintains the tool must read
the safety and maintenance instructions. Study the sche-
matic drawing before starting any repairs on the tool.
Air-operated tools must be inspected periodically, and worn
or broken parts must be replaced to keep the tool operating
safely and efficiently. Also the items on the maintenance
chart must be checked often.
Cold Weather Care
When temperatures are below freezing, tools should be
kept warm by any convenient, safe method. If this is not
possible, the following procedure should be used to warm
up the tools.
❑ Reduce the regulated air pressure to 30 psi.
❑ Remove all fasteners from the tool.
❑ Collect an air line and blank fire the tool. The reduced
air pressure will be enough to free- fi re the tool. Slow speed
operation tends to warm up the moving parts. Slowing up
the piston helps the bumper and the O-rings to become
springy.
❑ Once the tool is warmed up, readjust the regulator to
the proper working pressure and reload the tool.
❑ Tool operators working outdoors or in unheated areas
in extremely cold temperatures should also:
Use Paslode pneumatic oil with antifreeze in the
lubricator, Part No. 219090 (8oz.)
Once a week, depending on the amount of tool
use, take the tool apart and wash away any sludge
with tool cleaner (Paslode Part No. 219348) to
keep the tool operating efficiently.
Cleaning the air-operated tools with solvents removes the
thin coating of grease applied to the cylinder wall and
O-rings at the factory. To replace this coating of grease,
use Chemplex grease (Paslode Part No. 403734).
❑ Open the drain on the air compressor tank to drain any
moisture at least daily in extremely cold or humid weather.
A few ounces of anti-freeze in the tank will keep the air
free of frost.
Testing the Tool After Servicing
After replacing any part or parts, it is important to check
the tool for proper operation. This ensures that the tool
was put together correctly, is safe to use, and will perform
the job properly.
❑ Ensure that all hardware is tight.
❑ Ensure that the work contacting element is installed
correctly in relation to the trigger, and that both parts move
freely.
❑ Ensure that the magazine is properly attached.
❑ Ensure that the required safety information on the tool
is legible.
❑ Use only Paslode approved fasteners in the tool, and
ensure that they are correct for the application.
❑ Ensure that a male air fitting is securely connected to
the tool.
❑ Test the tool by driving fasteners into a workpiece iden-
tical to the tool's application.
❑ Check the tool for air leaks during testing and for the
proper sequence of operation.
❑ Ensure that all fasteners are driven to the same depth
and that the crown of the fastener is flush with the work-
piece.
Tool Lubrication
It is most important that the tool be properly lubricated by
keeping the air line lubricator filled and correctly adjusted.
Without proper lubrication the tool will not work properly
and parts will wear prematurely.
Use the proper lubricant in the air line lubricator. The
lubricator should be of low air flow or changing air flow
type, and should be kept filled to the correct level. Use
only Paslode recommended lubricants. Substitutes may
harm the rubber compounds in the tools O-rings and other
rubber parts. Paslode Part No. 403720 is a pneumatic
lubricating oil specially made for pneumatic applications.
If a filter/regulator/lubricator is not installed on the air sys-
tem, air operated tools should be lubricated at least once
a day with 6 to 20 drops of oil, depending on the work
environment, directly through the male fitting in the tool
housing.
Most minor problems can be resolved quickly and easily
using the maintenance table that follows. If problems per-
sist, contact your Paslode dealer for assistance.
