Cleanthe / Fuel Fuel Cell _k, DANGER EXPLOSION/FIRE HAZARD Read ALL safety instructions before using or handling the fuel cell. Failure to follow ALL instructions may result in explosion or fire. This may cause severe personal injuries or property damage. Keep the fuel cell away from heat, sparks and open flame. F 120°_ Cell and Metering Valve There is a second container inside the fuel cell. The 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 Paslode Cordless Finish nailer can operate in any position. Because of this container-within-a-container design, you might hear the sound of fluid when shaking the fuel cell after all the fuel has been used. This is the propellant, which remains between the containers even after all the fuel has been expelled. If you expose the empty fuel cell to extreme temperatures, the propellant gas will expand and could cause the container to burst, releasing flammable gases. Metering Valve The metering valve contains a fuel metering system to inject the correct amount of fuel into the combustion chamber. C Exposure totemperatures above 120°F (49°C) may cause the fuel cell to burst, releasing flammable gas. 4_ The metering valve with the yellow face is the only valve that will operate properly with the TrimMaster 18" Finish Nailer. FACE _kWARNING Sunlight can raise the inside temperature of an unventilated car or van to above 140°F (60°C). NOTE Do not puncture or attempt to open the fuel cell; it is non-refillable. 1. Do not attempt to reuse the metering valve! Replace with fresh fuel cell/valve, and dispose of spent cell/valve properly. 2. When replacing fuel cell also clean the air filter for optimum tool operation. Do not incinerate, reclaim or recycle the fuel cell. Do not smoke while installing or operating the metering valve. Do not inhale the spray. Keep out of the reach of children. Store fuel cell(s) in well-ventilated areas only. NOTE: Altitude Restriction Impulse technologyis 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.
