I've repaired and cleaned hundreds of these,the circuit board is usually the culprit for stoppage, it's truly amazing how much carbon can accumulate in the piston and it still function,
I need help. I removed, cleaned & oil inside just like in the video but my framing gun still does not work. It did not make a "Humm" noise when I pressed the gun to shoot. Is it the "circuit board"? How to test the "circuit board"? Thank you.
Why can't everyone that makes instructional videos make videos like this guy? This has to be one of the best ones I have ever seen. Thanks Vince. What a great job you did.
Thanks Robert
Thanks Vince for the helpful lesson I just bought one used it is cf325 xp it is the top of the line for paslode. My Boss has one that is over twenty years old and it has never been cleaned at all I want to share the video with you and show what it looks like. The gun fires and then don't and so on. I drove over 114 miles in one direction to get this paslode to me worth it. It came with two batteries but the nails for this gun Wow I never knew could be so expensive but I have 3 inch and two inch I have nails now till in my 80's. My gun only has 600 nails fired from it and it works great. I love construction work and new toys make me feel young again. We all learn something new and that is why I am here to get different ideas. Thanks Pete
I wasn't sure or I wasn't certain exactly how to service my pass loads. After watching this video I'm pretty confident that I can now service my pass loads to assure a longer life thank you sir.
Seriously…. Best instructional video ever !! Thanks
I have a hitachi gas cordless model similar to the pasload. I used the pasload cleaning products and it now works like a champ which btw uses the red pasload fuel cartridge. I’m again a happy framer.
Thx for showing how to service this tool! You can save money doing it yourself 👍💴
Hell yeah thanks for service videos. I like new tools but keeping your tools running rite is more important then buying new tools.
Just got my first paslode impulse it's not a brand new one. Wasn't sure how to clean it but I do
now. Watching your video.. Brilliant.. Many thanks.. Devon pirate Paul UK 👍🇬🇧
Me too. Uk Suffolk
I’ll have to do that to mine. Great video Vince.
Hey Vince, I'd have to say you "Nailed It" doing this video!
Very much enjoyed your approach and it made me completely understand everything I need to know about maintaining this nailer. Thank you and I subscribed!
Excellent instructor sure knew what he was talking about! Great knowledge Thanks!!
This was awesome dude !!! Really appreciate the uploads!!!
Great job Vince, very infotmative
Happy Wednesday Guys! Have a great day! Another good one as usual!😎🌞😍🧰🛠
Thank you for taking the time to make this video, just earned a sub after watching a couple of your previous videos. I enjoy your personality too, makes it fun.
Thanks Potter we appreciate it!
That's a clean job, thank you.
Thank You Vince love your videos
Thanks for making this easy and memorable 👏🏼👍🤠
Great video. Thanks for sharing~~!~~
I knew that accent! It's like being home again, in Philly!
Also, thanks for a clear video on cleaning my Paslode.
Glad it was helpful!
Your video was great. Entertaining as well. But. I have a question. My 900420 has some what looks like rocks falling out the front of the gun. When I opened the combustion chamber it looks to be coming from muffler area. The bits appear to be plastic but not sure where it would have come from. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Great video vince
Works very well
Thanks - you got a new subscriber
Thank you for this video,,, I'm off to try it on my non working tool 🇬🇧
I’ve tried to replace parts like follower spring (can’t get the button off!!)metal o rings (seem to be catching chamber when it’s firing ) any ideas how to do it right please
Good idea to spray in the piston and move it up and down a few times seems to free up a heap more stuff.
Nice service video
Very good information
Thanks
Good job brother. Thanks
Glad it helps
I'm back got my paslode to fire thank for your video it did the job done
I know the video is old but thank you so much for this. Just bought my first project fix gun n the owner gave it to me dirt cheap. It is begging for maintenance. the guy never cleaned it, covered in layers of gunk! This gives me an optimistic projection of saving it. Might as well buy another one to flip them.
I have a paslode exactly like the one you just cleaned. Great video by the way. My neighbor jammed the tool on a piece of wood way too hard. It never worked again. Well I may have tinkered with it an go 1 shot out of it. What are your thoughts?
Picked up a used IMCT model. I notice the fan only run when trigger is depressed. With the fuel cell out I can see the safety switch and the lever never depresses the switch when the nose is depressed. If I press the lever the fan will work but for some reason when the housing slides up when the nose is depressed it’s not activating the lever. Nothing looks damaged. The switch will work when activated. The small ramp on the cylinder just doesn’t trigger the lever. Any ideas solitons ? The small wheel on the trigger arm does roll. Any ideas how to get the switch to activate the fan when the nose is depressed?
We appreciate you 🙏 ❤️!!
Would that be the same service you would perform on the finish nailer
What would happen is I remove the spring off. Would still works? Some of the framers I know removes them on the pneumatic guns for faster and easier nailing.
Paslode is asome
10:00 If you just crack loose the screws at the base of the fan mount, it'll rock back enough to put the body on straight and avoid the fan contacting the casting.
Hey vgc. Is there anyway you could send me the Allen fasteners to this model .. That would be very cool
I love my PASLODEs they are the orginal cordless nailers that got it right no need to change the system , VINCE I see that one is older ain't it nice to have a tool hold up over time. 👍👍 I've been waiting for a paslode video thx bud ✌️
This unit has been awesome! How you holding up down there cuz?
@@VCGConstruction good man just little windy and rain 👍 another day at the park cuz 🤣
Great little over view of how to's Maybe you could use that super speed on TTR LOL
Thanks Dan the Man Solderholm!!
Hi Vince , I have two of these nailers and they are awesome. Excellent breakdown on the maintenance. All my tools are on the Dewalt platform and thinking of switching to the cordless 30 degree Dewalt just for cost savings alone . I can’t find any long term reviews on the Dewalt frame nailers . What are your thoughts?
I have both of the Dewalt cordless framers (21 and 30 degree). They are slow, heavy and the recoil is going to wear you out. The 4 amp hour battery that comes with them in the kit form is half the reason they get such terrible reviews for consistency. Recently on a larger (600 sq-ft) shed roof replacement/rebuild which was the first true real test for the dewalt units they both decided to run like trash. Half the nails would fail to drive fully. I decided to give the Paslode cordless framer a try as I was rapidly running out of time and good weather to get a roof rebuilt and dried in. After that first strip of nails I was sold, a serviced well running Paslode will smoke the dewalt cordless framers. The failure of the Dewalt units to run reliably I traced back to they just need more battery to let it rev up harder. Going to a minimum 5 amp hour battery made all the difference, but it makes an already heavy bulky tool even worse.
The cost of the fuel cell is an ongoing expense that will only get worse in the future. However if time is money the Paslode is easily 50% faster and almost every nail was perfectly driven flush.
so the spanish manual for the paslode is what you used as a funnel for the chain lubricant yesterday, aha
Desperate situations call for desperate measures!! 🤣🤣
the man .. shot bud :)
Can engine tell me what is wrong with my im350 only fires when I release battery replace then press the back of the gas and it fires. Ta very much Pedro o1
Sounds like the switch contact points need cleaning, and check to see if the Actuator assembly bushing is deteriorating. The bushing is pricey, unless you can source a generic cheap and make it work. I'd just buy the whole actuator assembly (aka fuel cell door) which comes with new pins and bushing. I paid 12 bucks shipped to my door.
Updated Part # is 900966
Hope this helps
Are you able to explain to us what returns the piston to the top ready for the next nail? My gun fires the first nail but the piston does not return ready to load the next nail. Thanks
your bumnper is probably toast
Vinny! You cliche Diego! You on that show? Jersey Shore?! You remind me of those tool boxes! Hahahahahaahahahahahahaj I’m messing with ya bro, you have great vids dude, thx for this one, I had no clue there was even a piston inside these things! Nice 👍
Does anyone know if the Paslode oil is silicon-based?
Don't you have to lube the flat shaft that hits the nail head?
Are these Paslode Framing Nailers still the better option? I want one and am considering a cordless instead of Pneumatic...
I've asked and I think electric guns are replacing the gas powered guns.
@@sanfranciscobay Paslode is still the king and in weight all other guns are a good 5-10 heavier depends if you use it everyday like I do I can make the difference just have to find a good deal on the fuel cells and don’t got after market buy Paslode fuel
Before my acl surgery I let a sub crew borrow mine for a day. Never checked, but just came back to work, went to use it and it'll Rev up, but not fire, I did all this, fixed a jam, was sure tht was the culprit, still nothing. Idk what else to do
This is an older model compared to mine, is it the same cleaning process?
Yup, but you'll need to remove the nose Safety/depth adjustment piece. Just 2 more screws. Also, I loosen (just a little) the two screws holding the fuel cell actuator assembly. (aka fuel door) This loosens the handle up just a tad for better clearance getting the cylinder on and off without dinging a fan or pinching an O ring. Also it's not a bad idea to put a drop of oil on your actuator assembly bushing and pins. The bushing will deteriote over time. Very common on the older impulse nailers, but still applies on the CF325. The bushing is like 7 bucks. Or you can buy the whole actuator assembly for 12 bucks......which comes with a new bushing and pins. That's what I have done so I have back up parts. Once the rubber bushing starts to wear out, you'll have intermittent firing issues and shooting blanks, even though the rest of the tool is fine. It's a real PITA to diagnose unless you're aware of the issue. Once the bushing deteriorates past that, it will jam the assembly, and won't open. Had that happen on one of our older 900420 nailers. Now that you know about that issue, just stay on the maintenance...... And also clean up and check your spark plug when you service it, and also clean the trigger contact points. Both are failure prone (mainly when not maintained.)
Enjoy the framer. I still love my paslodes. They may not bump fire, or cycle near the rate of pneumatic and Battery only like the Metabo and M18 Fuel...... But.....
They're so light in comparison to the milwaukee fuel and Metabo nailers that they're much more enjoyable to use all day if needed.. Apples to oranges, I know. Just saying this......... I don't mind the little faults they have, because the benefits outweigh them by a long shot.
Take care bud
Okay Vince question what do you prefer more your paslode nailer or that generation 2 Milwaukee framing Nailer already in the Milwaukee platformwant to know your thoughts on portability and what you recommend great video by the way and all the best to the very cool gang
Haven’t used the framing nailer at all so I don’t know yet!!
@@VCGConstruction I just was curious about your thoughts since you went to the tool show where they showed them off and you got to try it out appreciate your honesty is always
I like the idea of not needing Gas, but I'll need to use the Milwaukee Framer for a while before giving my blessing on it!
My gas cylinder won’t come off, it seems really stuck. Any tips how to open it
have not heard anyone talk about the tubing going over the the fuel fatening pin....have an older trim nailer and an impulse that the fan comes on on both gas iin cylinder ....squirts well.....but the substance that was around that fatening pin is mush on both nailers....replaced with plastic hoes barb but still no luck
suggestions.....both fans come on but no fire.....which led me ti the mush .....the spacer on the pin
The rubber bushing on the actuator assembly? (Aka fuel cell door)
The newer models aren't as bad about it and the bushing is a little harder material it seems, but I have replaced the assembly on all of my older impulse nailers and 1 newer cf325xp
That bushing is like 7 bucks through Paslode. The whole actuator assembly is 12 bucks and comes with the new bushing and pin. So....... I just replace the assembly, which allows me to have some extra parts. I sourced a replacement bushing myself from Ace hardware. A little fabrication and smoothing edges and it does work flawlessly. However Idk that I trust it for all day everyday abuse. I just keep it for a spare now.
If we are talking about the same part, you're spot on though. This part fails and causes dry fires, misfires, and erratic shots. And eventually won't open. (When the bushing finally breaks in half)
Hope you got yours back up and running again. 👍

@@TonyRule Level 3 in aucks ...W0RK Zuked !!! bro ....
Anyone else have problems with the it misfiring? Has happened on 2 brand new ones for me. Seems like the spring that feeds the nails is too weak
you forgot to mention Safety First I like how you win the safety glasses that's no bull if it wasn't for my safety glasses I would have lost one of my eyes and I have the safety glasses to prove it Staples from a couch I was working Sanitation couch broke Staples went into my forehead and into my safety glasses I wear my glasses everyday
can I use WD-40 to clean the cylinder?
No
Vince you ever used in Milwaukee M12 let me get this right Milwaukee M12 hammer vac Universal dust extractor kit I guess you supposed to hook up a hammer drill to it my Milwaukee rap gave me one for free as a promotion two batteries charger I don't have a hammer drill for it ever use one of these before it was a gift from my Milwaukee Rep because I told you all my tools on Milwaukee and I purchase a lot of tools through him do you ever use one of these how does it work thanks brother
Not a bad clean but you didnt take the o ring off the fan and why didnt you remove the cylinder and clean rhat part 🧐🤔
first time we'll let me get working on mine framing not firing.
I tried this with my paslode and I couldn’t see an oring in there? Now it doesn’t fire 😫
It's easy to pinch the o ring near the fan on reassembly. It won't fire if that's been removed because it's broken or if it's not seated correctly when your screwing in those four screws on the back! Check that..... 😉
KAOPointman Neil this is embarrassing but my problem was the little red housing for the gas was upside down 🤫 😂
brake and clutch cleaner is the best for it...2 pound a can
it's a microfiber rag just in case if you forgot
I think you forgot one of the MAIN things. CLeaning the switch contacts.
Paslode 350+ by the way
I've done all of that and it still doesn't fire all the time , same with my finish nailer , I've totally rebuilt my finish nailer and it still doesn't fire all the time , both are used very little and look like new still , brad nailer works fine , i just think the first generation are junk
No blame on you but sadly I followed you're instructions and it still doesn't work. Thank you though I now have more confidence to open mine up to maintain it. Gonna have to send it away for repair 😕
guys make fun of me because I do have a little OCD but at the end of the day all my tools that I used I wipe them down clean them take a little WD lithium grease osprey where am I social blade hooks up to clean the dirt out you got to take care of your tools that's what makes your money fraction of people who break my balls
They wanted 75 quid for a service I laughed and walked out

Mate I fix and repair these guns and most of what you’ve done was wrong ok and I hope you didn’t flip the driving pin because gun will misfire and jam plus when removing the battery and gas always remove nails because if not nails will be Launched across the room
It's really not the best way to service your tool...to do proper service u have to take the cylinder apart...this is just a cheap way to make it running for some time...
Yep. Just did it in both mine and rings and piston had gummed up on my framer. Still amazed how well it performed in that state.
Also lightly sanding the reeds for carbon.
That's not a framing nail gun its a 1st fix nail gun .
these things are a piece of s#&@ , i bought the 3.0 about five or
six years ago to nail some 2x10 together for my raised beds, shot maybe
30 nails! put it up in my basement (which is climate controlled and
now, it won't shoot a nail, it worked the day i bought it! now after 5-6
years sitting! it won't work! this was a 5or 6 hundred dollar mistake!!
Hey Vincent how do we know that nail gun wasn't working in the first place. what you did in the video isn't going to fix the problem you quoted. Sorry pal but I think your pissing down a lot of people's backs and telling them it's raining.. 🤨 why don't you actually get your hands on a nail gun with that problem " pushing down and not firing " . You took out 6 allen key bolts ,spray and wiped. Fair enough your calling that a service but I'm sorry vinny but that proccess ain't a problem fixer. Yanks ...what...! 🖐No one there to high five ye either ..😞
With all due respect you couldn’t service this gun correctly if your life depended on it !!
What’s the point cleaning the cylinder head without removing the o ring !! Do it properly or don’t bother !!
Sell the paslode and buy an hitachi 100% better product, My paslode batteries loose contact when using overhead,The charger cables are crap and always break, The 2nd fix guns are just as bad buy alternatives.

No matter how “climate controlled” your basement is it’s still a basement below ground level and makes it cold. The fuel cell when cold struggles to release so just warn that up in your hands for 5 mins, and it will be fine. If you have left this in a basement for 5/6years then you clearly don’t need it these are complex machines that require regular use and service would you leave your car in a basement for 5/6years unused unmoved not even fired up and expect to take it for a spin one bored Sunday morning? I can assure you paslodes are not S*@£ speaking from experience on use of many many framing nailers, that is a bold statement to make and impossible to back win facts! So suck a fart you miserable tit
