IM50S COILMASTER MANUAL 2

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Paslode Cordless IM50S CoilMaster Nailer.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The Impulse system consists of: tool, fuel cell, battery,

charger and fasteners. In the interests of operator

and system safety, the tool, fasteners and the fuel

cells referred to in the Paslode documents, must be

considered as one single, complete safety system.

WARNINGS

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE

THIS TOOL UNTIL YOU HAVE

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND

MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS.

The Paslode Impulse IM50S CoilMaster is

an internal combustion device. It produces

hot exhaust gases that may ignite

ﬂammable materials. This tool must not

be used in a combustible environment or

in the presence of combustible materials,

such as ﬂammable chemicals, adhesives,

gasoline, or solvents.

Failure to follow all safety precautions and

instructions may result in a permanent

loss of vision, serious personal or even

fatal injury, property damage and/or tool

damage.

Do not expose the tool to temperatures in

excess of 49°C (120°F). Fuel and/or the

battery may burst, releasing ﬂammable

gas.

This tool must be operated only in a well-

ventilated environment, because the tool

exhausts carbon monoxide similar to a

petrol/gasoline lawnmower. Exposure to

carbon monoxide may cause dizziness,

nausea, or unconsciousness.

ALWAYS keep the Impulse IM50S

CoilMaster fuel cell, battery and battery

charger out of the reach of children.

ALWAYS wear eye and ear safety

equipment (PPE) when working with

or in the vicinity of the Paslode Impulse

IM50S CoilMaster.

The Impulse IM50S CoilMaster should not

be used in the rain or where excessive

moisture is present.

or handling the fuel cell.

Keep the fuel cell away from heat, sparks

and open ﬂame. Do not smoke when

handling or operating tool or fuel cell.

Exposure to temperatures above 49°C

(120°F) may cause the fuel cell to burst,

releasing ﬂammable gas.

Sunlight can raise the inside temperature

of an unventilated motor vehicle or storage

container to above 60°C (140°F).

Never puncture or attempt to open

the fuel cell; it is non-refillable. Never

incinerate, reclaim or recycle the fuel cell.

Dispose of used cell responsibly.

Never smoke while installing the fuel

cell or operating the tool.

Never inhale the spray.

Store fuel cell(s) in well-ventilated areas

Liquid gas can cause injury in the event

of contact with the skin or eyes.

FUEL CELL CHECK

Paslode Impulse fuel cells are marked with

a “Best Use Before” date on the bottom of

the can. For maximum performance use

fuel before the “Best Use Before” date.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

Fuel combustion can be adversely affected at extreme low

temperatures. Ensure that the tool battery and fuel cell are

above the minimum operating temperature of 7°C (20°F)

before use.

The fuel cell is an aerosol product corresponding to the

2008/47/EC regulations. It contains:

• Liqueﬁed hydrocarbon gases (butane, propane,

propylene).

• A lubricant to maximise the tool durability.

When the fuel is used there will always be some

propellant left inside the cartridge. The fuel cell is always

pressurized. Its contents are extremely flammable. The

fuel cell is not reusable.

Dispose of all empty fuel cells responsibly. Remember to

dispose of these fuel cells where they will not be crushed,

punctured, burned or found by children.

STORAGE

Stores and showrooms must comply with building

regulations. All local instructions corresponding to ﬁre

regulations must be followed.

• Where possible, store fuel at a stable temperature in

the range 7°C to 25°C. Do not expose to temperatures

exceeding 49°C.

temperatures in the vicinity that fuel cells are stored.

• Do not store in designated thoroughfares, hallways or

stairwells.

• Store in a well-ventilated area.

• Fuel cells must not be displayed in shop windows.

• Storage with pyrotechnic products is not permitted.

FIRST AID

• Direct contact with liquid gas may cause burns or

frostbite.

• In case of inhalation remove the person to fresh air,

and encourage breathing. Should the casualty become

unconscious, or breathing does not quickly return to

normal, summon urgent medical assistance.

• If gas gets into the eyes they should be ﬂushed out with

copious amounts of water. Skin contamination should

be removed with soapy water.

If symptoms persist, seek medical assistance.
