Preparing the TrimMaster 18Finish Nailer for Use

Fasteners

The TrimMaster 18Finish Nailer drives Paslode® 18 gauge fasteners designed to be used with the tool. The use of fasteners that do not meet Paslode standards could cause tool damage and will void all warranty claims.

Loading Fasteners

Follower

In the illustration above, you will see an indicator arrow on the side of the follower. When the indicator arrow is in the reload area, marked on the side of the magazine, you may insert a new strip of nails.

Impulse® and Outdoor Weather

Use the TrimMaster 18Finish Nailer outdoors, in dry weather, when the nailer, fuel cell, and battery are between 20°F (-7°C) and 120°F (49°C).

HOT WEATHER OPERATION

The TrimMaster18Finish Nailer requires cooling of the motor assembly to operate properly. The fan normally provides the necessary air flow to permit continuous operation. Whenever the TrimMaster 18Finish Nailer 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 nails completely or may operate erratically.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

Fuel cells at cold temperatures lose the required propellant pressure. Bring the tool, fuel cell, and battery above 20° F (-7°C) by placing the tool in a heated building or vehicle. Never expose the tool, fuel cell or battery to flame

CAUTION

The TrimMaster18Finish Nailer should not be used in the rain or where excessive moisture is present. The use of the Impulse Technology under these conditions may result in damage to tool components and cause the tool to malfunction.
