If you have any reason to believe thatyour problem is beyond the service procedures in thismanual, contact your Paslode® representative immediately.ServicingFuel Cell CheckIf the Cordless Brad Nailer's fan operates and the indicatorlight is green, but the tool will not cycle or does not drivefasteners completely, check the fuel cell. With the fuel cellout of the tool, check to see if the cell still contains fuel andthat the metering valve is working. To determine if there isany fuel left in the fuel cell, hold in the upright position andsimply place the metering stem against a solid object, andgently push about three or four times. A small amount of fuelshould be released each time.DANGERWear safety glasses when performing this test. Neverperform this test near an open flame or sparks, whilesmoking, or where the fuel may get into your eyes.If fuel is not released with each operation of the meteringvalve, this indicates that there is no more fuel left in thecylinder and it must be replaced. Dispose of the empty fuelcell properly.(see page 16.)Clearing a JamAn occasional problem you may encounter is a jammedfastener. Because of the unique design of the Cordless BradNailer, clearing a jammed fastener is easy:1. Remove the battery.2. Pull the latch, releasing front guide. Pivot front guideforward.3. Clear jam, and push driver blade back up to its normalposition.4. Close front guide and latch it. Check that work contactingelement moves freely.Battery CheckPeriodically check on the battery indicator light (the lightin the handle) of the Cordless Brad Nailer . Whenencountering a problem, the first step should always be tomake sure the battery has enough charge to operate thetool.When the work contacting element is depressed on workpiece, the fan motor will turn on and the blinking greenindicator light will turn solid green. If the indicator light blinksred or glows red, recharge the battery.DANGERNever attempt any maintenance of a Paslode Cordlesstool without first removing the fuel cell and battery.Maintenance should be started only after the tool iscompletely inoperative.
