®
and Outdoor Weather
Use the TrimMaster 18
Finish Nailer outdoors, in dry
weather, when the nailer, fuel cell, and battery are
between 20°F (-7°C) and 120°F (49°C).
HOT WEATHER OPERATION
The TrimMaster18
Finish Nailer requires cooling of
the motor assembly to operate properly. The fan
normally provides the necessary air flow to permit
continuous operation. Whenever the TrimMaster 18
Finish Nailer is idle for extended periods, keep the
fuel and tool out of direct sunlight and in surroundings
where temperatures will not exceed 120°F (49°C).
After extended periods of continuous use, it may be
necessary to cool the Impulse motor by setting tool
aside for 10-15 minutes or until the tool operates
normally. An overheated tool may not drive nails
completely or may operate erratically.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
Fuel cells at cold temperatures lose the required
propellant pressure. Bring the tool, fuel cell, and
battery above 20° F (-7° C) by placing the tool in a
heated building or vehicle. Never expose the tool,
fuel cell or battery to flame
