Paslode 515850, Operating Manual And Schematic

5

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 discon-

nected.

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.
