This tool must be operated in a well ventilated
environment, because the tool exhausts carbon
monoxide similar to a chainsaw or lawn mower.
Exposure to carbon monoxide may cause dizziness,
nausea or unconsciousness.
Fasteners
The Cordless Stapler drives Paslode
®
S16 Staples. They
are made from 16-gauge galvinized wire and completely
coated with Pas-Kote for improved holding power. The
use of staples that do not meet Paslode standards could
cause tool damage and will void all warranty claims.
Loading Fasteners
When no fasteners are visible, two full strips of Paslode
staples may be loaded. If fasteners are visible, one full
strip may be loaded.
The illustration above shows how to properly load fasteners
into the Cordless Stapler. To load:
1. Draw back the follower until it latches with the follower
latch.
2. Insert one or two strips of Paslode staples onto the rail.
Let them fall forward to the staple guide.
3. Locate the follower behind the staples. Release follower
latch. The constant force spring will locate the follower
behind the staples and apply a constant pressure on
them.
Dirt and debris may interfere with proper feeding of fasteners.
Keep the fastener track clean.
Cordless Stapler and Outdoor
Weather
Use the Cordless Stapler outdoors, in clear weather,
when the stapler, fuel cell, and battery are between
20
°
F (-7
°
C) and 120
°
F (49
°
C).
HOT WEATHER OPERATION
The Cordless Stapler requires cooling of the motor
assembly to operate properly. The fan normally
provides the necessary air flow to permit continuous
operation. Whenever the Cordless Stapler 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
Impulse motor by setting tool aside for 10-15 minutes
or until the tool operates normally. An overheated tool
may not drive staples completely or may operate
erratically.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
Fuel cells at cold temperatures lose the required
propellant force. Bring the tool, battery, and fuel cell
above minimum operating temperature without direct
exposure to flame, and check the battery.
Preparing the Cordless Stapler for Use
CAUTION
CAUTION
The Cordless Stapler should not be used in the rain
or where excessive moisture is present. The use of
the Cordless Stapler under these conditions may
result in damage to tool components and cause tool
to malfunction.
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.
