PASLODE CE20024 (01) PDF Document

The cycle rate is Intermittent Operation – 2 to 3 nails per second.

The magazine capacity is 1 Coil, or 200 Nails.

A 7 volts DC battery provides enough energy to drive approximately 4,500 fasteners on a full charge.

A liquid hydrocarbon fuel cell provides enough fuel to drive approximately 800 fasteners.

Always wear EYE and EAR safety gear when working with or in the vicinity of the Paslode Cordless Nailer.

Eye protection must meet the requirements of ANSI Z87+ and should have side shields for increased protection.

Do not expose the tool to temperatures in excess of 120°F (49° C), as fuel and/or the battery may burst, releasing flammable gas.

Keep the fuel cell away from heat, sparks, and open flame.

Exposure to temperatures above 120°F (49°C) may cause the fuel cell to burst, releasing flammable gas.

Sunlight can raise the inside temperature of an unventilated car or van to above 140°F (60°C).

This tool must be operated only in a well-ventilated environment, because the tool exhausts carbon monoxide similar to a gas chainsaw or lawn-mower. Exposure to carbon monoxide may cause dizziness, nausea, or unconsciousness.

With the fuel cell out of the tool, check to see if the fuel cell still contains fuel. To determine if there is any fuel left in the fuel cell, 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.

Wear safety glasses when performing this test. Never perform this test near an open flame or sparks, while smoking, or where the fuel might get in your eyes.

If fuel is not released with each operation of the metering stem, this indicates that there is no more fuel left in the fuel cell and it must be replaced.

Periodically check the battery indicator light in the handle of the Cordless Nailer.

When the No Mar Probe is depressed on the work piece, the fan motor should turn on and the blinking green indicator light should turn solid green. If the indicator light blinks red or glows red, recharge the battery.

Before you leave the work site:

1. Remove battery and store in tool case. Always use the Cordless Nailer Case for transporting and storing the tool.
2. Dispose of all empty fuel cells. Remember to dispose of fuel cells where they will not be crushed, punctured, burned, or found by children.

When you get home:

1. Place the battery in its charger if it needs charging as indicated by the red charge light on the handle.
2. Wipe your Cordless Nailer with a clean, soft cloth.
3. Remove and clean the filter if needed.

It may be easier to clear a nail jam by first returning the driver blade to top rest position with a small diameter punch. Then remove the nail.

Steps for Clearing Fastener Jam:

1. Push latch to open magazine gate.
2. Carefully clear nail(s).
3. Return driver blade to top rest position.

Steps for Cleaning the Air Filter:

1. Use a flat bladed screw driver to remove cap.
2. Tap filter gently to remove dust and debris.
3. Use Paslode Cordless Tool Cleaner or mild detergent and water to clean filter.
4. Ensure filter is completely dry before reinstalling.

Lubrication of Feed System is per 5,000 shots.

To increase depth of drive, rotate the thumb wheel in the counter-clockwise direction for a “Counter Sunk” look.

To decrease depth of drive, rotate the thumb wheel in the clockwise direction for a “Proud” look.

Tool Firing Sequence:

1. Depress work contact element.
2. Actuate trigger, tool fires.
3. Release work contact and trigger.

Correct Nail Loading Procedure:

1. Open nose gate.
2. Open magazine cover.
3. Place coil into magazine area.
4. Insert nails into nose area.
5. Close magazine cover first.
6. Close nose gate and latch.

Correct Removal of Excess Collation Tape:

Fold tape at right angles across front of tool nose. Only then tear off collation.

The tool has a locking tab which is designed to hold the tape in place. Check that locking tab is positioned correctly in hole provided in collation tape. The correct use of this locking tab ensures nails can not be dislodged from collation strip during removal of excess tape.

WARNING: Do not pull collation tape straight out of nose. This incorrect action will dislodge nails already fed into firing chamber and may cause nail to jam.

Charging Times:

CHARGING DON’TS:

1. Do not charge battery outdoors or in temperatures below 45°F (7°C).
2. Do not allow metal objects to come in contact with the battery terminals.
3. Do not puncture or attempt to open battery case or cells.
4. Do not store battery where it will be subjected to temperatures above 120°F (49°C).
5. Do not incinerate battery.
6. Do not use a defective battery charger, one that overheats and/or smokes when plugged in.
7. Do not immerse the battery or charger in water.

If the red and green lights continue to alternate after 20 minutes, replace the battery.

Inserting Battery:

1. Load the battery, contacts first, into the Cordless Coil Nailer.
2. Push battery fully forward into its locked Ready Position. The battery indicator light will light.

To disengage the battery, push down on locking tab and slide battery back until it locks into the Standby Position.

To remove battery, push down on locking tab and slide battery out.

Green indicates a charged battery.

Red indicates battery needs charging.

When you insert a fully-charged battery into the tool, you will see a blinking green light. If the indicator light blinks red, recharge the battery.

Correct Fuel Cell Loading Procedure:

1. To open fuel door – Push forward, lift, then back.
2. Open fuel door.
3. Lift fuel adapter to up position.
4. Load fuel cell.
5. Carefully align fuel adapter and cell stem.
6. To close – Push forward, then down to lock fuel door.

Also, check fuel expiration date on base before loading.

ONLY USE PASLODE’S SPECIALLY FORMULATED FUEL, FAILURE TO DO SO MAY DAMAGE YOUR TOOL, CAUSE MISFIRES AND VOID WARRANTY.

ALWAYS REMOVE BATTERY, FUEL CELL AND FASTENERS WHEN SERVICING OR CLEARING A JAM.

Hot Weather Operation:

The Cordless Nailer requires cooling of the motor assembly to work properly. The fan normally provides the necessary air flow to permit continuous operation.

Whenever the 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:

When storing the Cordless Nailer in temperatures below 45°F (7°C) it may be necessary to first warm up the fuel and tool for proper operation.

Fuel cells at colder temperatures can lose their required propellent pressure. To correct this simply warm up the fuel cell 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.

It will be necessary to repeat this procedure several times until the temperature of the tool warms up enough to operate in its normal mode.

Once the tool reaches operational temperature the tool will generate its own heat and will function normally.

If the tool sits for an extended period of time and cools down it may be necessay 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 the tool components and cause the tool to malfunction.

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 the tool you should inspect the magazine and nose for any fasteners left in the tool. These nails will not be visible unless you open the quick-clear of the tool.

DANGER: The No Mar Probe and nose will become hot after prolonged or rapid use. If it becomes necessary to adjust the No Mar Probe, avoid touching it with bare hands.

Restrict Field Service to the Following:

• CHECKING THE CHARGE LEVEL OF THE BATTERY
• RECHARGING THE BATTERY
• CHECKING THE FUEL CELL
• REPLACING THE FUEL CELL
