Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
Setup (Continued)
3. Attach the metering valve to the top of the fuel cell with the stem pointing away from
your face and body (see Figure 6).
4. Insert the front ridge of the metering valve into the lip of the fuel cell (see Figure 6).
5. Push down firmly on the rear of the metering valve. You will hear a "click" sound (see
Figure 7). Push down again on the rear of the metering valve. You will hear a second
"click" sound (see Figure 7). The second "click" sound indicates that the metering
valve is seated correctly on the fuel cell.
6. In a well-ventilated area, test the fuel cell by pressing the valve ejection tip against
a test surface. Do NOT aim or direct toward face or other people. Keep away from
sparks and flame. Allow a small amount of the aerosol fuel to dispense. If the fuel
does not dispense, the metering valve is not installed correctly or the fuel cell is
damaged / empty. Properly discard the fuel cell and restart this procedure with a new
fuel cell.
TOOL PREPARATION
At this point, the tool should not be loaded with fasteners. The battery and fuel cell
should not be inserted either.
NEVER use this tool if the Work Contact Element (WCE) is not
operating properly.
Pull pusher handle back to the bottom of the magazine until it locks into position.
Test the WCE by placing against a solid surface and depressing the nose as you would
for normal use. DO NOT pull the trigger. Remove the tool from the work surface. The
WCE should move smoothly up and down as it is placed against and removed from the
work surface (see Figure 8).
If the WCE does not move smoothly, DO NOT use the tool; call customer service for
assistance (1-800-543-6400).
Using the proper allen wrench and a small Phillips screwdriver, make sure all screws
and/or socket head cap bolts are securely in place. DO NOT overtighten.
Pre-Operation
INSERT BATTERY
1. Load the battery, contacts first, into the tool (see Figure 9).
2. Push battery forward into the locked position.
3. To remove the battery, push on locking tab; slide battery out.
NOTE: If battery remains in tool, unused, for an extended period of
time, the battery will fully deplete its charge. Check the battery first
for charge status before returning tool to use.
NOTE: If battery contact terminals become corroded or dirty, it may
cause the tool to malfunction. Clean the contact terminals using a
fine emery cloth. Do not submerge the battery in water or use any
type of cleaning solution on contact terminals.
INSERT FUEL CELL
Metering valve must already be attached to fuel cell as explained in
Fuel Cell Preparation section.
Do not install fuel cell without the metering
valve properly attached. This may damage the
fuel cell and/or tool.
1. Pull fuel cell door upward and tilt door outward to open. The fuel
cell door will swing toward the tool handle (see Figure 10).
2. Insert fuel cell, base first, into tool with metering valve pointed
toward the tool's red gas valve (see Figure 11).
3. Insert the stem of the metering valve into the small hole of the
red gas valve. (See Figure 12).
4. Close the fuel cell door. Push down until door "clicks" into
position.
Refer to safety instructions and warnings
provided by fuel cell manufacturer.
Do NOT expose fuel cell to temperatures above manufacturer's
recommended limit.
