We run a couple of Paslode IM350 nail guns for fencing work. These would be classed as 1st fix on site work with a nail range of 51 to 90mm and capable of firing smooth and ring-shanked nails. These are the guns that roofers/first fix carpenters on stud walls etc would use
IMO the first fix gun would make a mess of skirting (also leave you a fairly big head to disguise)- even with a no-mark nose fitted. I would have thought a paslode 2nd fix brad gun would be better suited to that.
I own the Paslode IM350-Plus for first fix joinery, roofing etc what's capable of firing nails up to 90mm in length and the Paslode IM65 Brad Nailer ideal for architraves and skirting boards or for fixing cladding to timber laths as the IM65 does not leave any marks on the surface of the timber
I certainly would not recommend fixing timber directly onto render using a nail gun, that's what a drill, plugs and screws are for ;)
Hi Mick, my fault as I didn't expand, I need to batten walls (suitable for that ?) and then clad (again, hopefully with a gun). However sounds like I may two different types ?. I looked at the website and was just confused by the range.

personally I would drill and screw the battens to the wall to make sure you get a good fixing, then you can use the Paslode IM65 to fix the cladding as using the IM350-Plus could split the cladding due to the nails being larger in length and diameter (that said i don't know what cladding your fixing) ?
the IM350 would work in a lightweight block but you will not always get a good fixing and the batten could come loose hence why its always better to screw plus if the wall is not plumb or flat you may need to pack the battens accordingly
the depth of the nail fired into the cladding can be varied by simply turning a dial from having the nail flush with the cladding or sunk below the surface to allow for filling the nail head if your fixing architraves beading etc
a firm i used to work for has 2 1st fix and 2 2nd fix paslode guns. great peices of kit the 1st fix we used with 3 or 4 inch nails for repairing the skids underneith jackleg portacabins and the 2nd fix for all the internal work. one of the carpenters did try nailing some battens to a breezeblock wall as tool racking but the nail bent and the company had to get all the gubbins replaced.
would a hilti gun be more suitable as i'm led to beleive they are designed to attach things to concrete floors, brick walls etc. i was also told that you may need a firearms licence to own and operate one as they use explosive cartridges. (i am open to correction on above facts)
I pay 40 per year in a one-off payment as a Pro Member but the payback from this very small investment must be many thousands of pounds saved or gained through knowledge and advice. Only this week I have gained detailed advice from members in the BOG about specific charging rates for commercial weed control work, and received via e-mail a full set of COSHH and RAMS documents completely free of charge from a member, saving many many hours of personal work and research. Completely selflessly with no expectation of payment or reciprocity.

Has any one out there had any problems with using Paslode 8d ringshank nails in the new Makita frame gun!? Spikes or 12d work great and nice gun but the paslode nails have a space between each nail that gets pushed together and causes nails to jam in gun! Am I the only one???
I ended up stitching my thumb tight to the web between the third knuckle of my index and bird finger, drove that 3" nail flush to the side of my thumb and buried the nail up into the palm of my hand.
*I've found that the rails can be over-tightened on the Hitachis, and this can cause nails of a larger diameter to not feed smoothly into the firing chamber (although this does not explain why the i smaller nail is binding).. just a suggestion, you might see what you can do with tuning the rail, if it has any hex bolts that control the width of the rail slot where the nail heads glide on... one more thing, sometimes my Hitachis that take up to a .148 diameter nail have a hard time controlling the 8d .113. The collation seems to be too fragile, and the impact of the return spring pushing the clips down into the driver break up the nails, then a jam follows shortly. just a thought.you know, that puncture hurt so bad, I took off in my volks bus and circumnavigated the lower 48. Took me nine months, and about four months into it I ran out of money. i Hand-banged houses in Louisville to get back on the road. Have shot myself numerous times since, but the nail has to fly through the air for a distance before it hits. I'll never let the driver push another nail into me again. I had just cleared a jamb, that had siezed the nose piece. After clearing the jamb, I grabbed the nosepiece and checked it for function. Forgot that I had a good grip on the gun with my left hand, and had the trigger squeezed....

Your Cordless nailer comes pre-lubricated from the factory. It is not uncommon to see a small amount of oil that seeped out into the case. Because the fuel contains a small amount of oil, it is not necessary to oil the tool during normal use. The only time the tool should be oiled is after it has been cleaned.
Use only Paslode Cordless Tool Lubricating Oil part number B20544F. It is specially formulated to withstand the high temperatures generated by Cordless nailers. Using other oils can cause the rapid build-up of combustion residue leading to poor nailer performance and more frequent cleanings.
Paslode Degreaser Cleaner B20544L, is specially formulated for Paslode Cordless and Pneumatic nailers. We recommend that you use our products because we have tested it with our nailers. Other products may damage electrical components, plastic parts, and rubber parts. They may also leave a residue which could cause damage to the nailer or injury to the operator of the nailer.
kPa or PSI is an amount of pressure, Litres per minute or Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) is a delivery rate. In terms of how a pneumatic tools works, the greater the kPa the harder the tool will drive and, the greater the Litres/ minute the faster the tool will work.
his can be caused by several things, but a nail jam is the most common. Remove the fuel and battery then clear the jammed nail(s) from the tool. If the driver blade is in the down position the tool will not fire. With the fuel and battery out of the tool, push the driver blade all the way up into the tool and test the tool.
First remove the fuel, battery and the remaining nails in the magazine. Using the 5/32 hex key, remove the two screws on either side of the work contact. Next, grab hold of the work contact with one hand and the bottom of the magazine with the other. Pull the two away from each other and the magazine will separate from the nose. This will allow the jammed nail to fall out. Inspect the driver blade and push it back up into the tool. Install the two nose screws.
