Attempts to go beyond these procedures could
result in serious personal injury or damage to the
GypFast (G2) tool and voiding of the warranty.
There are certain problems that you may encounter
when you are using the GypFast (G2) tool that you
will be able to correct on the work site. The follow-
ing field service procedures are the only service
procedures you should attempt. Anything else
that may appear wrong with the GypFast (G2) tool
should only be diagnosed and repaired by a fully
trained service technician. If you have any reason
to believe that your problem is beyond the service
procedures in this manual, contact your Sales
Representative immediately.
DANGER
Never attempt any maintenance of the GypFast
(G2) tool without first removing the Fuel Cell and
Battery. Maintenance should only be started after
the tool is completely inoperative.
BATTERY CHECK
Periodically check on the LED Battery Voltage
Indicator Light—the LED in the Handle of the
GypFast (G2) tool. When encountering a problem,
the first step should always be to make sure the
Battery has enough energy to operate the tool.
If the light is red, recharge the Battery, If the light
is glowing green, indicating that the Battery is
charged, check the ignition system.
FUEL CELL CHECK
Another typical service condition will occur when
the Fuel Cell becomes empty. A typical symptom
will be when the GypFast (G2) tool’s Fan operates
and the LED is green, but the tool does not drive
fasteners completely. In this case, take the Fuel
Cell out of the tool, check to see if the Cell still
contains fuel and that the Metering Valve is
working. To determine is there is any fuel left in
the Fuel Cell simply place the Metering Stem
against a solid object, and gently push about
three or four times. A small amount of fuel should
be released each time. Never perform this test
near an open flame or sparks, while smoking, or
where the fuel may get into your eyes. If fuel is
not released with each operation of the Metering
Valve, there is no more fuel left in the cylinder and
it must be replaced. Dispose of the empty Fuel
Cell properly.
AIR FILTER
Open the cover by pressing slightly above the
Red Adapter, and pivoting the cover open. The
Air Filter simply lift out.
Tap the filter GENTLY to remove any dust. You
should check and clean the Air Filter every two
days.
