Our five most frequently asked questions about Paslode training

Being one of the leading brands in carpentry, there is always a lot that people want to know about Paslode.

Given nail guns are an investment, people want to know everything they can about what they offer before they commit to buying their products. 

At Multifix, we have answered 20 of your most frequently asked Paslode questions here, but we also get a fair few questions in relation to training. 

The training relates to the nail guns specifically, so to save you a phone call or an email, we thought it would be best to have the key answers in one place. 

As such, we have spoken to both our expert sales and customer service teams and collated the five most pressing questions that we are asked. 

What exactly does Paslode nail gun training entail?

Paslode nail gun training is split into two parts: installer training and staff training. Nearly all of the times we are asked about it, it is related to installer training, but we’ll explain both anyway. 

Installer training is an introduction to Paslode tools. It is devised to train you on how to operate the nail guns, how to use the fuel cells and batteries and how to maintain them.

You will also be told what PPE you need when using a Paslode nail gun, so the health and safety side of it is covered too. 

Staff training on the other hand is specifically for those in the office. It offers insight as to why people use Paslode nails, in addition to giving information on nail packs, fuel cells and the nailers themselves. 

How much does Paslode nail gun training cost?

All Paslode nail gun training comes at zero cost – it’s completely free. 

Can you come down to a site and do the training?

At Multifix, we have two Paslode-trained experts who can come down to a site and perform training, yes. However, there is a much simpler way, which we will come onto next…

Can you do Paslode training online?

Yes, you can and in fact, this way is better and more convenient for you as well. By following this website, you can access both training courses and do whichever one is best for you. 

There is a small test at the end of each course, all based on the training before it and if you pass that, you immediately get your certificate. 

One of the issues with doing the training in person is that it can take some time for your certificate to be processed and then posted. As such, the online course is much more efficient as you get it immediately after. 

Naturally, if you have someone physically showing you and talking through everything, that is going to be better training for you. However, the online course is probably more convenient for you. 

Both the installer and staff training courses take about half an hour or so to complete, so neither will eat up too much of your time.  

On the topic of certification, your training certificate lasts two years, so you’ll need to redo it whenever the time comes. 

Are the courses available in any other languages? 

Unfortunately, the online course is only available in English. If you have non-English speaking staff, it could be an idea to do it in person and have a translator present. 

The importance of the Paslode training

The reason why we get asked so much is because Paslode training is very important. Without it, you aren’t technically qualified or deemed safe to use their nail guns. 

With this article though, you should hopefully be more informed when it comes to what’s involved in the training and how to actually get it done. 

It’s also a very nice bonus that the training is free, so aside from half an hour of your time, it comes at no cost to you.
