Quicklode™ Fuel Cartridge
WARNING
EXPLOSION/FIRE
HAZARD
Read ALL safety instruc-
tions before using or hand-
ling the fuel cell. Failure to
follow ALL instructions may
result in explosion or fire.
This may cause serious
personal injuries or prop-
erty damage.
Keep the fuel cartridge
away from heat, sparks
and open flame. Do not
smoke when handling
or operating tool or fuel
cartridge.
Exposure to temperatures
above120
°
F (49
°
C) may
cause the fuel cartridge to
burst, releasing flammable
gas.
WARNING
Sunlight can raise the inside temperature of an
unventilated motor vehicle or storage container to
above 140
°
F (60
°
C).
Never puncture or attempt to open the fuel; it is
nonrefillable.
Never incinerate, reclaim or recycle the fuel.
Never smoke while installing or operating the fuel
cartridge or tool.
Never inhale the spray.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Store fuel cartridge(s) in well-ventilated areas only.
Fuel Cartridge
NOTE
1. Never attempt to refill the cartridge! Replace
with fresh fuel cartridge, and dispose of spent
cartridge properly.
1. Do not attempt to remove or reuse the fuel
cartridge cap.
2. When replacing fuel cartridge also clean or replace
air filter for optimum tool operation.
The fuel contains a small amount of oil to keep the tool
lubricated during use.
It is not necessary to oil the tool
during normal operation. When cleaning the tool, use only
Paslode Cordless tool oil. Using oils not formulated for the
Paslode Cordless Tool, may cause loss of power and may
damage the internal parts of the tool's motor.
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 consistantly at
elevations of 5000 feet or greater.
DANGER
2. Do not attempt to install the fuel cartridge cap on
other fuel cells. This may result in damage to the
tool and injury to the user and by standers!
There is a second container inside the fuel cartridge. This
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 Nailer can operate in any position.
However, over time the propellant pressure diminishes
until it is no longer able to squeeze the inner fuel
container. This is why a nailer using a fuel cartridge
beyond the “Best Use Before” date may not work consis-
tently or at all.
If you expose the empty or expired fuel cartridge to
extreme temperatures, the propellant gas will expand and
could cause the container to burst, releasing flammable
gases.
