DANGER
E X P L O S I O N / F I R E
HAZARD
Read ALL safety
instructions before using
or handling the fuel cell.
Failure to follow ALL
instructions may result in
explosion or fire. This may
cause severe personal
injuries or property
damage.
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.
WARNING
Sunlight can raise the inside temperature of an
unventilated car or van to above 140
°
F (60
°
C).
Never puncture or attempt to open the fuel cell; it is
non-refillable.
Never incinerate, reclaim or recycle the fuel cell.
Never smoke while installing or operating the metering
valve.
Never inhale the spray.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Store fuel cell(s) in well-ventilated areas only.
NOTE
1.
Do not attempt to reuse the metering valve!
Replace with fresh fuel cell/valve, and dispose of
spent cell/valve properly.
2.
When replacing fuel cell also clean or replace the
air filter for optimum tool operation.
Fuel Cell
There is a second container inside the fuel cell. The inner
container holds the fuel. The space between the inner
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 Stapler can operate in any position.
Because of this container-within-a-container design, you
might hear the sound of fluid when shaking the fuel cell after
all the fuel has been used. This is the propellant, which
remains between the containers even after all the fuel has
been expelled.
If you expose the empty fuel cell to extreme temperatures,
the propellant gas will expand and could cause the container
to burst, releasing flammable gases.
Metering Valve
The metering valve contains a fuel metering system to inject
the correct amount of fuel into the combustion chamber.
The
yellow
metering valve is the only valve that will operate
properly with the Cordless 16 ga. Stapler.

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 consistently at
elevations of 4000 feet or greater. When using the tool
at elevations of 4000 feet it is recommended to use the
blue
high altitude fuel metering valve part #219247.
