I. Description – purpose of use

Powerful ignition gas powered nail gun for structures
that is intended for demanding joining work in elevated locations
and at construction sites without access to el. power or compressed
air, for building structures from wood, e.g. joining roof
timberwork and entire wooden buildings, for making crates, etc. with the use
of smooth or ribbed nails of lengths 50-90 mm at a strip angle of 34° (other
necessary dimensions are provided in the technical specifications).
y The nail gun is powered by ignited gas and enables many
more nails to be driven per single gas can (up to 1200 pcs)
and 5000 pcs per single battery charge than is possible with
a cordless nail gun powered by an electric motor that uses
only electricity from a battery for the same nail dimensions,
which is very advantageous for long lasting work at heights and at construction sites without an el.
power source.

Since the nail gun is not powered using a heavy electric motor, but rather by means of ignited gas from a light gas bottle, the ignition of which is performed simply by means of a spark, the nail gun only contains a small, light, removable, rechargeable Li-ion battery. Thanks to its light weight the nail gun is extremely valued for less demanding work where it is necessary to hold the nail gun for extended periods of time with one’s arms raised in the air.
Spare cans with flammable gas of volume 80 ml intended for powering gas nail guns can be purchased in stores, e.g. from the manufacturer BOSTITCH, part number of the gas can: FC 80MLHPB; or an equivalent from other manufacturers.
The nail gun is intended only for use
in well-ventilated environments.

The nail gun enables the setting of the
depth to which the nail is driven into the wood.

The gas can must not be exposed to temperatures exceeding 50°C and temperatures below the minimum value specified on the gas can. Follow the instructions provided on the gas can and the information provided on the safety sheet for the gas can. The supplier of the gas can is obliged to provide a safety sheet on the gas can, where all the important safety information is provided.
The nail gun must not be used in an environment that is flammable or has an explosive atmosphere.

INSERT THE GAS CAN (FIG.2)

It is necessary to insert, into the appropriate location, a can with flammable gas that is intended for driving nail guns by means of ignition drive, e.g. with the model number BOSTITCH FC80MLHPB or its equivalent from other manufacturers, e.g. Paslode IM350. The gas can may be purchased in stores.

WARNING

Prior to using the gas can, check that it exhibits no signs of damage and check the expiry date provided on the can. Do not use a can that is damaged or a can past its expiry date, and hand it over for disposal at a collection point for hazardous waste. When handling or using the gas can, and when disposing of it, please follow the instructions provided on the gas can and on the safety sheet.

WARNING

For connection to the nail gun, the gas can must be fitted with a low connection adapter shown in fig. 11.
Seat the low plastic connection adapter on the top part of the gas can according to fig. 2, step 3. and 4. and after inserting the can into the respective compartment in the nail gun, properly insert the hose of the connecti on adapter into the supply connector according to fig. 2, step 6. Subsequently, close the compartment with the connected can using the cover as shown in fig. 2, step 7.

INSERTING/REPLACING NAILS (FIG. 3)

Insert the nail strip meeting the technical specifications provided in chapter II. all the way to the front part of the magazine and seat it in securely. Then move the shifter behind the inserted nail strip to the back part of the magazine so that the plate of the shifter pushes on the nail strip from behind. In the event that it is necessary to replace jammed nails, press the lever in the middle part of the shifter, which will lift the plate that is pushing on the nail strip, and subsequently whilst holding the shifter allow the shifter to move to the front part of the magazine. Then it is possible to slide the nail strip out of the groove in the magazine.

ATTENTION

If the shifter is not firmly held when the compressive plate is lifted, the shifter may spontaneously, forcefully slide to the front part of the magazine, which could damage the sliding mechanism.

INSTALLATION OF THE BELT CLIP (FIG. 4)

It is possible to hang the nail gun on a belt using the belt clip.
The belt clip can be installed on either the right or left side
depending on whether the user is left- or right-handed.

INSERTING CHARGED BATTERIES (FIG. 5)

For the operation of the nail gun, a battery is necessary as an electrical source for a spark that ignites the gas in the cylinder.
Insert a charged battery into the respective part of the handle, see fig. 5, step 2, so that it audibly clicks in and thereby is secured in the handle of the nail gun.
The presence of voltage in the tool will be indicated by a green indicator light on the handle, fig. 1, position 4.

VI. Operating the nail gun

Trial test (fig. 6) and setting the depth of the driven in nail (fig. 7)

Prior to starting work with the nail gun, first carry out a trial test on a sample piece of material, into which the nails will be driven, and adjust the depth of the driven in nail according to fig. 7 if necessary.

WARNING

Before starting work, ensure that the material into which your intend to drive nails contains no undesirable items, e.g. hidden electrical conduits, metals (pipes), stones,
etc. Otherwise, injury or material damage may result.

WARNING

During work, use certified eye and ear protection with a sufficient level of protection
and prevent access to any flame sources.
To operate the nail gun, first apply the compressible contact safety mechanism to the surface of the workpiece and then push the nail gun against the surface, so that the compressible contact safety mechanism is compressed, and by pulling on the trigger drive out the nail (fig. 6, step 3).
Then lift the nail gun off the surface of the workpiece and move it to the required location where the next nail is to be driven and drive in the nail/staple according to
the procedure described above.

ATTENTION

When pulling the trigger, it is necessary to properly push down the nail gun against the work surface and when the nail is driven out to hold it down with sufficient downward force, otherwise the nail may not be properly driven into the material as a result of a loss of impact force when the nail/staple gun is kicked off the work surface.

ATTENTION

The nail gun is not intended for driving nails into materials other than wood or wooden materials or materials with properties similar to that of wood. The nail gun must not be used to drive nails into hard materials such as, for example, steel or concrete! When driving nails into wood on a steel, concrete, etc. base, it is necessary to apply a greater downward force due the greater generated recoil and to prevent the gun from slipping.
When driving nails into wood on a steel, concrete, or other hard material, it is necessary to select a nail length that will preclude the nail from hitting the base, otherwise a reactive recoil may result.

The battery is equipped with protection against full discharge, which damages it. Battery protection prevents the voltage from falling below a certain threshold that is damaging to it.

ATTENTION

When the nail gun is connected to the gas can, a regular minor gas leak may occur, which has
a characteristic odour. Prior to storing the nail gun, take the gas can out of it.

REMOVING A JAMMED NAIL (FIG. 8)

To gain access to a nail jammed in the driver head (fig. 8, step 4) or to remove accumulated paper from the nail strip, it is necessary to disassemble the nail gun in the sequence of steps 1 to 4 according to fig. 8, i.e. in the reverse sequence of steps to the steps for the assembly of the nail gun according to fig. 9 – see below. For the purpose of illustration, it is possible to use the alternative method for removing a jammed nail as shown in the individual steps of the procedure in fig. 12, steps 1 to 3.

WARNING

Prior to disassembling the nail gun for the purpose of removing a jammed nail or for the purpose of maintenance, for safety reasons, first remove the battery and
the gas can, and only then remove the nail according to fig. 8, step 1.
To remove the battery from the handle, first press the button on the battery and then slide the battery out of the grooves in the handle.
To remove the gas can, first gently slide the tube of the gas can connection adapter off the connector on the nail gun.

PROCEDURE FOR FINAL ASSEMBLY OF THE NAIL GUN (FIG. 9)

Step 1: Assemble the black handle covers with all the insides

Step 2: Insert the compressible contact head

Step 3: Screw on the driver head mounting screws including washers

Step 4: Insert the central bolt

Step 5: Screw on the gas can storage compartment cover.

• ATTENTION

In the event that there is an evident, unusual noise, vibrations or operation during the operation of the tool, immediately stop using it, take out the gas can, remove the battery and identify and rectify the cause of this unusual operation. If the unusual operation is caused by a fault inside the tool, have it repaired at an authorized service centre for the Extol® brand through the seller or directly at an authorized service centre (service locations are listed at the website address at the start of this manual).

VII. Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING

Prior to carrying out any maintenance or cleaning tasks, remove the battery and the gas can from the nail gun.

NAIL GUN CLEANING PLAN

The nail magazine and the compressible contact safety mechanism need to be cleaned every day using clean, dry, compressed air and wiped out using a lint-free textile.
For the lubrication of internal parts, where indicated on the maintenance step figures (step 19, 23, 24, fig. 10), it is necessary to use lubrication oil Paslode Impulse for gas nail guns. This is a special oil than is resistant against high temperatures.
It is necessary to clean the air filter (step 7, fig. 10) using com pressed air in a spray. The air filter removes mechanical particle from air that would otherwise enter the combustion cylinder. During operation in a dusty environment, clean it several times per week based on the operating conditions. A clogged air filter prevents air supply to the combustion cham ber, which is the cause of poor gas combustion, which results in the reduced performance of the nail gun and increases the for motion of soot (clogging of the combustion cylinder with soot). When using the nail gun in a dusty environment, it is possible to clean the air filter in a container filled with water-detergent solution up to 40°C (do not use organic solvents, e.g. acetone, etc.). After a thoroughly washing out the filter with clean water, allow it to dry out thoroughly at room temperature before reinstalling it.

WARNING

Only original spare parts of the manufacturer may be used for repairs of the nail gun.
Repairs of the nail gun may only be performed by an authorized service centre for the Extol® brand.

– Exposure to vibrations may result in incapacitating damage to nerves and blood circulation in hands and arms.

– When working in a cold environment, warm clothing must be worn and hands must be kept warm and dry.

– In the event that the user feels dullness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin on fingers or hands, he/she must seek out medical advice from qualified healthcare professionals taking into consideration the overall activities.

– The tool must be used and maintained as recommended in the user‘s manual to prevent unnecessarily increasing vibration levels.

– The tool must be held with a light but safe grip, since increased gripping force will generally increase vibration related hazards.

SUPPLEMENTARY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR NAIL GUNS POWERED BY MEANS OF GAS IGNITION

– Gas powered tools must be used only with the gas cans that are specified in the user‘s manual for the tool and that have been tested by the supplier of the cans in accordance with EN ISO 11148-13.

– When using a gas powered tool, the user must proceed with care since the tool may heat up, which affects the grip and control.

– Gas powered driving tools must be used in a ventilated environment.

– In the event that the liquefied flammable gas comes into contact with human skin, injury may result. The gas is extremely volatile and due to the rapid evaporation in the liquid phase may cause skin injury by the extremely cold gas. Likewise, the gas can may be extremely cooled down as a result of a large off-take of gas during frequent nail driving.

– Gas cans must be handled with care and it is necessary to inspect them for damage. Damaged gas cans may explode and cause injuries.

– It is necessary to read the instructions provided with the gas can (i.e. the safety sheet and the information provided on the gas can) and to adhere to them.

– It is necessary to ensure that flammable materials are not exposed to hot exhaust gases.

– The tool must not be used in locations with an explosion hazard, since the spark generated in the tool may cause a fire or explosion.

– The user‘s manual of the gas powered tool must contain a warning related to storage without supervision, high temperature, handling of gas containers, batteries and their disposal.

– In the case of gas-powered tools, it is possible that a small amount of gas leaks out during regular operation.

OPERATING AND MAINTAINING BATTERY-POWERED TOOLS

a) Only charge the battery-powered tool using the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery pack, may lead to a fire hazard if used with a different battery pack.

b) Only use the tool with a battery pack that is explicitly determined for the given tool. Using any other battery pack may create a accident or fire hazard.

c) When the battery pack is not being used, protect it against contact with other metal items such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal items that could make a connection between both battery contacts. Short circuiting the battery contacts may cause burns or a fire.

d) Incorrect use may cause liquids to leak out of the battery; avoid coming into contact with them. In the event of accidental contact with these liquids, rinse the affected area with water. In the event that the liquid enters the eye, seek medical help. Liquids leaking from the battery may cause inflammations or burns.

e) A battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified, must not be used. Damaged or modified batteries may behave erratically, which may result in a fire, an explosion or an injury hazard.

f) Battery packs or tools must not be exposed to a fire or excessive heat. Exposure to fire or a temperature exceeding 130°C may result in an explosion.

g) It is necessary to adhere to all battery charging instructions and not to charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in this user‘s manual. Incorrect charging, or charging at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

SERVICE

a) Have your cordless power tool repaired by a qualified person using identical spare parts. This will ensure that the same level of safety will be achieved as before the repair of the tool.

b) Damaged battery packs must never be repaired. The battery pack should only be repaired by the manufacturer or at an authorized service centre.

IX. Safety instructions for the charger, charging and the battery

XI. Storage

WARNING

When the nail gun is connected to the gas can, a regular minor gas leak may occur, which has a cha richteritic odour. For this reason, the nail gun must be located in a ventilated environment without any flame or spark sources and must not be stored without supervision and at a temperature above 50°C. Prior to storing the nail gun, take the battery out of it and when not using the nail gun for an extended period of time, also take the gas can out of it, and store the gas can in a safe location.
When storing the gas can, it is necessary to follow the safety instructions provided by the manufacturer and the manufacturer‘s safety sheet. The gas can must not be exposed to temperatures exceeding 50°C and below the temperature specified on the can. The gas can must not be exposed to the effects of mechanic impacts or other types of mechanical damage, corrosive substances (caustic and oxidation substances), furthermore to the effects of water, etc., which could perforate the case of the can, and as a result could lead to the can exploding or catching on fire.
It is necessary to understand that the gas can contains a flammable gas that is under pressure, and therefore during its handling, use, storage and disposal it is necessary to handle the can according to reasonable and predictable measures related to safety.
Store the nail gun, charger, battery and the gas can in a safe and dry location out of children‘s reach.

STORING THE BATTERY

Protect the battery against rain, frost, high humidity, temperatures above 50°C, against mechanical damage (e.g. being dropped) and never open or burn it. Prior to storing the cordless power tool, take the battery out of it and fully charge the battery. To ensure the longest possible lifetime of the battery, fully charge it after several months (no later than after 6 months).
The battery capacity is significantly reduced in low and high temperatures and it is also damaged by these temperatures.
Protect the battery contacts against soiling, deformation or other damage and prevent conductive bridging of the battery contacts by taping over the connectors, e.g. using plastic tape, to prevent the battery from short-circuiting, which could result in a subsequent fire or explosion.
Ensure that children do not play with the battery.

XII. Waste disposal

Throw packaging into the appropriate sorted waste container.
An unusable nail gun and charger are deemed as electrical equipment that must not be thrown out with household waste, but rather according to the European Directive (EU) 2012/19, they must be handed over for ecological disposal/recycling at an appropriate electrical waste collection point because they contain substances that are hazardous to the environment. Prior to handing over the nail gun for ecological disposal, take the gas can and the Li-ion battery out of it.
Prior to handing over the nail gun for disposal, the battery must be removed, which, likewise, must not be thrown out with household waste (directive 2006/66 ES), but rather must be handed over separately for eco logical disposal at a battery collection point because it contains substances that are hazardous to the environment. You will receive information about electrical equipment collection points at your local town council office.

DISPOSAL OF THE GAS CAN

The gas can is deemed to be hazardous waste, which is not thrown out with communal waste, is not burned, etc., but rather is handed over at a collection facility for hazardous waste. The gas can may contain remains of flammable gas and may thus be under pressure and may result in a fire or explosion. Inform yourself about hazardous waste collection points at your local town council office.
