Handling Of Fuel Cell - Max GS683RH-EX Operating And Maintenance Manual

5. HANDLING OF FUEL CELL

The Fuel Cell is double structured; the inner container has been filled with a liquid fuel gas and the outer
one with a propellant gas (another pressurized gas).
Like squeezing a toothpaste tube, the inner fuel gas is pushed out by the pressure of the propellant gas,
thus being used up to the last without wasting it. Because of this structure, the combustible propellant
gas in the outer container remains even after the fuel gas in the inner container has been used.
Therefore, utmost care should be taken when disposing the empty Fuel Cell.
● Be sure to use the Fuel Cell exclusively designed for the MAX Cordless Fastening System.
WARNING:
● Never smoke a cigarette when attaching or operating a jet valve.
● Do not remove a rubber plug from the bottom of the Fuel Cell except at disposal.
● Do not make a hole in the Fuel Cell.
● Be careful not to breathe in the gas.
● Never jet the gas to the human body.
● Do not incinerate or recycle the empty Fuel Cell.
ATTACHING THE METERING VALVE TO THE FUEL CELL
The metering valve is designed to jet a constant amount of fuel gas into the combustion chamber of the
tool.
