SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY FIRST
These safety instructions provide information necessary
for safe operation of Paslode
®
tools. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO OPERATE THE TOOL UNTIL YOU READ AND
UNDERSTAND ALL SAFETY PRECA
UTIONS AND
MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS.
WEAR EYE AND HEARING PROTECTION
Always wear hearing and eye protection devices, that
conform to ANSI Z87+ requirements, when operating
or working in the vicinity of a tool. As an employer you
are responsible for enforcing the use of eye protection.
Wear hard hats in environments that require their use.
THE TOOL MUST BE USED ONLY FOR THE PUR
-
POSE FOR WHICH IT WAS DESIGNED
Do not throw the tool on the floor, strike the housing
in any way or use the tool as a hammer to knock
material into place.
NEVER ENGAGE IN HORSEPLAY WITH THE TOOL
The tool is not a toy so do not use it like one. Never
engage in horseplay with the tool or point it at yourself
or any other person, even if you think it is not loaded.
NEVER ASSUME THE TOOL IS EMPTY
Check the magazine for fasteners that may be left in the
tool. Even if you think the tool is empty or disconnected,
never point it at anyone or yourself. Unseen fasteners
could fire from the tool.
NEVER CLAMP THE TRIGGER IN A LOCKED OR
OPERATING POSITION
The trigger of the tool must never be tampered with,
disabled or clamped in a locked or operating position
since this will cause the tool to drive a fastener any
time the work contacting element depressed.
DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS WITH THE AIR LINE
CONNECTED, OR WITH THE TOOL TRIGGER OR
WORK CONTACTING ELEMENT DEPRESSED
When loading fasteners into the tool be sure you dis-
connect the air line and that you do not depress the
trigger or work contacting element.
OPERATE THE TOOL ONLY ON A WORKPIECE
The tool should be operated only when it is in contact
with the workpiece. Even then you should be careful
when fastening thin material or working near the edges
and corners of the workpiece since the fasteners may
drive through or away from the workpiece.
DO NOT DISABLE OR REMOVE THE WORK CON-
TACTING ELEMENT
This tool is equipped with a safety mechanism, called
a work contacting element, to help prevent accidental
firing. Never tamper with, disable or remove the work
contacting element. Do not use the tool unless the
work contacting element is working properly. The tool
could fire unexpectedly.
DISCONNECT THE TOOL WHEN NOT IN USE
Always disconnect the tool from the air line when it
is not in use, when you leave the work area or when
moving the tool to a new location. The tool must
never be left unattended because people who are
not familiar with the tool might handle it and injure
themselves or others.
CARRY THE TOOL ONLY BY THE HANDLE
Always carry the tool by the handle only. Never carry
the tool by the air hose or with the trigger depressed
since you could drive a fastener unintentionally and
injure yourself or someone else.
DO NOT WEAKEN THE TOOL HOUSING
The tool housing is a pressure vessel and should never
be weakened by having your companyʼs name, area of
work or anything else stamped or engraved into its
surface.
DISCONNECT THE TOOL WHEN PERFORMING
REPAIRS AND CLEARING JAMS
Never attempt to clear a jam or repair a tool unless you
have disconnected the tool from the air line and
removed all remaining fasteners from the tool.
ALWAYS USE THE PROPER FITTING FOR THE
TOOL
Only MALE pneumatic type air connectors should be
fitted to the tool, so that high pressure air in the tool is
vented to atmosphere as soon as the air line is dis-
connected.
NEVER install FEMALE quick disconnect couplings on
the tool. Female couplings will trap high pressure air in
the tool when the air line is disconnected, leaving the
tool charged and able to drive at least one fastener.
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED
AIR PRESSURE
.
erusserp ria dednemmocer eht ta ylno loot eht etarepO
Do not exceed the maximum air pressure marked on
the tool. Be sure the air pressure gauge is operating
properly and check it at least twice a day.
Never use any bottled air or gases such as oxygen to
operate the tool since they could cause the tool
to
explode. Do not operate in explosive atmospheres.
INSPECT TOOL FOR PROPER OPERATION
.deriuqer sa etacirbul dna yliad tsael ta loot eht naelC
Never operate a dirty or malfunctioning tool.
USE ONLY PASLODE RECOMMENDED PARTS AND
FASTENERS
Use only parts and fasteners specifically designed and
recommended by Paslode for use in the tool and for
work to be done. Using unauthorized parts and
fasteners or modifying the tool in any way creates
dangerous situations. Replace all missing warning
labels---refer to tool schematic for correct placement
and part number.

AIR SYSTEMS - Continued
Calculating Compressor Size
Use the air consumption chart in the Tool
Schematic for each tool when calculating the
operating requirements for the tools.
Paslode
tools are designed to operate efficiently
between 80 and 120 psi and should never be
operated at pressure greater than 120 psi.
The air consumption chart will help you find
the correct compressor size for your application
that will quickly replenish tool air pressure.
To use the chart you will need to know how
many tools will be used and approximately
how many fasteners will be driven each minute
by each tool on the line. Using the equation:
Number of tools X average fasteners/minute/
tool X 1.2 (safety factor) X air consumption
(scfm) @ pressure* (psi) = scfm required.
We can use the following example:
10 tools X 30 fasteners/minute/tool X 1.2 X
0.051scfm* (@100psi) = 18.36 scfm.
*This number is found in the Air Consumption
Chart
In this example, using the air consumption
chart we find that a compressor providing at
least 19 scfm of air is required. Because in
compressors approximately 1 hp is required
to produce 4 scfm, a compressor of at least
5 hp is required.
Calculated Required Piping
For example, given a 20 hp electric compressor
supplying approximately 80 cfm of air at 120 psi
and a main supply pipe length of 350 feet, we
see by the table the minimum main pipe inside
diameter required for this applica
t
ion is 1-1/4
Pneumatic System Maintenance
- Be certain that:
•
Pneumatic fittings are tight and do not leak.
and ensure that automatic draining systems
are operating correctly.
• Air lines are cleared to prevent freezing,
especially in winter.
• Lubricator operation is checked regularly
and ensure it has an adequate supply of
lubricant (Paslode Part No. 403720).
• Only regulated air is being used and that
each regulator is operating properly.

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 2 of this manual.
2. Included with each tool are one copy of this
Safety and Maintenance manual and one copy of
the Tool Schematic. Keep these publications for
future reference. An ownership registration card
is also included. This card must be completed
and returned to Paslode immediately to register
your ownership.
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 con-
nected, do not try to make repairs. Call your
Paslode representative immediately.
TOOL OPERATION
Depth of Drive Adjustment
(On tools equipped with this feature)
The depth of drive adjustment is made by
adjusting the work contacting element. The
lock nut is loosened to allow the element to be
moved up or down. You will need a 3/8 inch
open end or 5/32 inch hex socket wrench to
make this adjustment.
If the tool is overdriving (the fastener head or
crown is driven below the work surface), the
work contacting element should be moved
downward. If the fasteners stand up (the head
or crown is not flush with the surface), the work
contacting element should be moved up.
Adjust the work contacting element until the
fastener head or crown depth meets job re-
quirements.

MAINTENANCE
Paslode
®
tools are built for ease of maintenance. A few
simple details will assure trouble-free operation and long
tool life. Anyone who uses or maintains the tool must read
the safety and maintenance instructions. Study the sche-
matic drawing before starting any repairs on the tool.
Air-operated tools must be inspected periodically, and
worn or broken parts must be replaced to keep the tool
operating safely and efficiently. Also the items on the
maintenance chart must be checked often.
Cold Weather Care
When temperatures are below freezing, tools should be
kept warm by any convenient, safe method. If this is not
possible, the following procedure should be used to warm
up the tools.
❑ Reduce the regulated air pressure to 30 psi.
❑ Remove all fasteners from the tool.
❑
Connect an air line and blank fire the tool. The reduced
air pressure will be enough to free-fire the tool. Slow
speed operation tends to warm up the moving parts.
slowing up the piston helps the bumper and the O-rings
to become springy.
❑ Once the tool is warmed up, readjust the regulator to
the proper working pressure and reload the tool.
❑
Tool operators working outdoors or in unheated areas
in extremely cold temperatures should also:
Use Paslode pneumatic oil with antifreeze in the
lubricator, Part No. 219090 (8oz.)
Once a week, depending on the amount of tool
use, take the tool apart and wash away any
sludge with tool cleaner (Paslode Part No. 219348)
to keep the tool operating efficiently.
Cleaning the air-operated tools with solvents removes the
thin coating of grease applied to the cylinder wall and
O-rings at the factory. To replace this coating of grease,
use Chemplex grease (Paslode Part No. 403734).
❑
Open the drain on the air compressor tank to drain any
moisture at least daily in extremely cold or humid weather.
A few ounces of anti-freeze in the tank will keep the air free
of frost.
Testing the Tool After Servicing
After replacing any part or parts, it is important to check
the tool for proper operation. This ensures that the tool
was put together correctly, is safe to use, and will perform
the job properly.
❑ Ensure that all hardware is tight.
❑
Ensure that the work contacting element is installed
correctly in relation to the trigger, and that both parts move
freely.
❑ Ensure that the magazine is properly attached.
❑
Ensure that the required safety information on the tool
is legible.
❑ Use only Paslode approved fasteners in the tool, and
ensure that they are correct for the application.
❑ Ensure that a male air fitting is securely connected to
the tool.
❑
Test the tool by driving fasteners into a workpiece
identical to the tool's application.
❑
Check the tool for air leaks during testing and for the
proper sequence of operation.
❑
Ensure that all fasteners are driven to the same depth
and that the crown of the fastener is flush with the work-
piece.
Tool Lubrication
It is most important that the tool be properly lubricated by
keeping the air line lubricator filled and correctly adjusted.
Without proper lubrication the tool will not work properly
and parts will wear prematurely.
Use the proper lubricant in the air line lubricator. The
lubricator should be of low air flow or changing air flow
type, and should be kept filled to the correct level. Use
only Paslode recommended lubricants. Substitutes may
harm the rubber compounds in the tools O-rings and other
rubber parts. Paslode Part No. 403720 is a pneumatic
lubricating oil specially made for pneumatic applications.
If a filter/regulator/lubricator is not installed on the air
system, air operated tools should be lubricated at least
once a day with 6 to 20 drops of oil, depending on the
work environment, directly through the male fitting in the
tool housing.
Most minor problems can be resolved quickly and easily
using the maintenance table that follows. If problems per-
sist, contact your Paslode dealer for assistance.

PELIGRO
La falta de observación de cualquiera de estas instrucciones puede ser causa de graves
lesiones personales, tanto al operador de la herramienta comoa quienes estén cerca de
ella o de daños materiales o a la herramienta
.
Comuníquese con el representante de Paslode sobre la presentación de Programa de Alerta sobre
Seguridad.
LA SEGURIDAD ESTA PRIMERO
Estas instrucciones proporcionan la información necesatia para
el funcionamiento sin peligrode las herramientas Paslode. NO
trate de usar su herramienta hasta que no haya léido y en-
tendido todas las precauciones de seguridad y las instruc-
ciones de este manual.
PROTEJASE LOS OJOS Y LOS OIDOS
Use siempre el equipo adecuado para protegerse
los ojos y los oídos que sea conforme con ANSI Z87+,
meintras usa una herramienta o trabaja cerca de una
herramienta en uso. Como empleador usted es respons-
able de imponer el usp del la porteccion de ojo. Lleve
sombreros duros en los ambientes que requieren su
uso.
USE SU HERRAMIENTA SOLAMENTE PARA EL
PROPOSITO CON QUE FUE DISEÑADA
No arroje la herramienta al suelo; no golpee el armazón ni la use
como un martillo.
NUNCA USE LA HERRAMIENTA PARA JUGUETEAR
Esta herramienta no es un juguete; por lo tanto no la trate como
tal. Nunca juguetee con ella, ni se apunte a usted mismo ni a
otra persona, aun cuando crea que no está cargada.
NUNCA ASUMAQUE LA HERRAMIENTA ESTA VACIA
Verfique que ho haya sujetadores en elcargador. Aun cuando
crea que está vacía o desconectada, nunca se apunte ni apunte
a otra persona con la herramienta, porque podría dispararse un
sujetador que no esté a la vista.
NUNCA SUJETE EL GATILLO EN LA POSICION DE
CIERRE O DE FUNCIONAMIENTO
Nunca se debe manipular indebidamente o dejar inoperante el
gatillo, o sujetarlo en la posición de cierre o defuncionamiento,
porque se podría disparar un sujetador al oprimirse el elemento
de contacto.
NO CARGUE SUJETADORES CUANDO LA LINEA DE
AIRE COMPRIMIDO ESTE CONECTADA, O CUANDO
EL GATILLO O EL ELEMENTO DE CONTACTO ESTE
OPRIMIDO.
Antes de cargar sujetadores en la herramienta, verifique que la
línea de aire comprimido esté desconectada y que ni el gatillo ni
el elemento de contacto estén oprimidos.
USE LA HERRAMIENTA SOLAMENTE SOBRE UN
MATERIAL DE TRABAJO
La herramienta debe funcionar sólo cuando esté en contacto
con el material de trabajo. Debe tener mucho cuidado cuando el
material sea delagado o trabaje cerca de las aristas del mismo,
porque los sujetadores podrían atravesar o salirse del material.
NO DEJE INOPERANTE NI QUITE EL ELEMENTO DE
CONTACTO
Esta herramienta está equipada con un mecanismo de seguri-
dad, llamado elemento de contacto, para prevenir cualquier disp-
aro accidental. Nunca manipule indebidamente, deje inoperante,
ni quite el elemento de contacto. No use la herramienta a menos
que dicho elemento funcione correctamente, porque podría
producirse un disparo imprevisto.
DESCONECTE LA HERRAMIENTA CUANDO NO
LA ESTE USANDO
Siempre desconecte la herramienta de la línea de aire
comprimido cuando no la esté usando o al dejar su lugar de
trabajo. Nunca la descuide, porque cualquier persona que no
esté familiarizada con ella podría lastimarse o lastimar otros.
TOME LA HERRAMIENTA SOLAMENTE POR EL
MANGO
Siempre tome la herramienta sólo por el mango. Nunca la
tome por la manguera o con el gatillo oprimido, porque se
podría disparar un sujetador y herirlo o herir a otra persona.
NO ALTERE EL ARMAZON DE LA HERRAMIENTA
El armazón de la herramienta es un recipiente a presión y nunca
se debe grabar en su superficie el nombre de su compañia, el
del área de trabajo, ni ningún otro detalle.
DESCONECTE LA HERRAMIENTA PARA HACER
REPARACIONES O ELIMINAR OBSTRUCCIONES
Nunca trate de eliminar obstrucciones o reparar una herra-
mienta sin haberla desconectado de la línea de aire compromido
y quitado todos los sujetadores.
USE SIEMPRE LOS ADAPTADORES APROPIADOS
PARA SU HERRAMIENTA
Se debe conectar a la herramienta solamente conectores
neumáticos MACHOS, para permitir que el aire de alta pre-
síon salga tan pronto como se desconecte la línea de aire
comprimido.
NUNCA coloque enlaces HEMBRAS de desconexíon rápida
en la herramienta, porque atrapan el aire a alta presíon al
desconectar la línea de aire comprimido, dejándola cargada y
lista para disparar por lo menos un sujetador.
NO EXCEDA LA PRESION NEUMATICA MAXIMA
RECOMENDADA
La herramienta debe funcionar sólo con la presíon neumática re-
comendada. No exceda la presíon neumática máxima marcada
en la herramienta. Verifique por lo menos dos veces al día que
el calibre de la presíon neumática funcione correctamente.
Nuna use aire o gases envasado, como el oxígeno, para hacer
funcionar la herramienta porque podrían hacer que explotara.
No haga funcionar en atmósferas explosivas.
INSPECCIONE LA HERRAMIENTA PARA LA OPERA-
CION APROPIADA
Limpie diariamente la herramienta y lubríquela como se re-
comienda. Nunca trate de hacer funcionar una herramien
ta
sucia o defectuosa.
USE SOLAMENTE PIEZAS Y SUJETADORES RECO-
MENDADOS POR PASLODE
Use sólo piezas y sujetadores específicamente diseñados y
recomendados por Paslode para usar con esa herramienta
y para la tarea requerida. Si se usan piezas o sujetadores no
autorizados o se modifica de alguna forma la herramienta, se
pueden crear situaciones peligrosas. Vuelva a colocar todas
las etiquetas de precaucíon que flaten. Consulte el diagrama
de la herramienta sobre el número de cada parte y su ubli-
gación correcta.

Para desatorar la clavadora
Un problema típico que puede encontrar es una
clavadora con clavos atorados. Debido al diseño
único de la clavadora Paslode, es muy sencillo sacar
los clavos atorados:
1. Disconecte el aire.
2. Deslice el seguro para soltar la quía delantera
y hágala pivotear hacia adelante.
3. Quite las clavos atorados y empuje la hoja del
impulsador hacia atrás hasta la posición normal
de retorno.
4. Cierre la guía delantera y asegúrela. Verifique
que el elmento de contacto no esté obstruido.
