Introduction and Warranty
Paslode Cordless 18 Gauge Brad
Nailer Operating Manual
This manual is intended to acquaint you with the Paslode
Cordless 18 Brad Nailer. Unlike other power fastening
tools, the Cordless Brad Nailer is powered by an internal
combustion linear motor. In simpler terms, your Cordless
Brad Nailer is powered by a motor similar to the one that
powers an automobile. The Cordless Brad Nailer ignites
a fuel and air mixture to produce the energy to drive the
motor, which in turn drives the fastener. The Cordless
Brad 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 Cordless Brad Nailer,
and how to avoid damaging the tool or injuring yourself. But,
to accomplish this, we need you to do two things:
1. READ THE MANUAL FROM COVER TO COVER
BEFORE USING THE TOOL.
2. FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THE MANUAL.
The Cordless Brad Nailer should be handled like other
power fastening tools that you use. Like most tools, when
used improperly injury could result . If you are going to
allow others to use the Cordless Brad Nailer, it is your
responsibility to make sure that they also read and comply
with the instructions in this manual before attempting to
operate the tool.

Nailer, or wish to obtain additional copies of this manual,
