PRIMATECH PNEUMATIC TOOL P250A

The pneumatic flooring tool P250A is a professional precision
tool specially developed for the installation of 5/8" to 7/8" solid
hardwood flooring in standard version, or from 3/4" to 33/32"
for the GYM-version. It has been designed for easy
maintenance where major components can be accessed within
seconds without the need of any tool. Weighting only
11 pounds (5 kg), this ergonomically designed tool makes the
installation of hardwood floor very easy, allowing the operator
to set and fasten the boards in the standing position. It is
offered in 3 different configurations:

•standard L-type 16GA nails in lengths of 1½" (38 mm), 1¾"
(44 mm) or 2" (50 mm)

• T-type 16GA nails in length of 1½" (38 mm) or 2" (50 mm)

•½" crown 15½GA staples in lengths of 1½" (38 mm), 1¾"
(44 mm) or 2" (50 mm)

The P250A is built around the
Primpact valve engine, a
breakthrough technology for
pneumatic tools. Primpact main
features are:

•short nose and compact valve design with an all­around striking surface

•high-speed action and few moving parts, for a
powerful yet soft stroke and increased precision.

•reciprocal striking system that regulates the depth of
penetration independently from the mallet impact

•finely threaded screw-in cartridge assembly

For best result, only PRIMATECH fasteners should be used.

be required, as working condition may
include exposure to high noise levels which
lead to hearing damage.

Wearing safety boots and safety hat is also
highly recommended.

NOTE: All the personal protection equipments
must meet national standards.

CONNECTION & AIR SUPPLY SYSTEM

LOADING THE TOOL

To ensure maximum performance and efficiency, and also a
minimum of care, this tool requires clean & dry air. The use of
a filter and a pressure regulator is recommended.

This tool needs a detachable male coupler with 3/8" NPT male
treads. The use of a 3/8" (1 cm) diameter air supply hose is
recommended. A smaller hose or a hose longer than 50'
(15 m) could cause a pressure drop when the tool is activated
repeatedly.

ALWAYS USE A FREE-FLOW CONNECTION FOR THE

COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY TO PREVENT THAT THE TOOL
STAYS CHARGED AFTER DISCONNECTING THE AIR
SUPPLY HOSE.

UNLOAD TOOL BEFORE CONNECTING AIR TO PREVENT

ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE.

AFTER MOVING TOOL TO A DIFFERENT WORK AREA, OR

AFTER ANY MAINTENANCE TO THE TOOL, ALWAYS
ENSURE PROPER OPERATION BY ACTUATING TOOL
SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT FASTENERS OVER THE
SUBFLOORING .

Dirt, dust, and other particles in the air supply can cause
sluggish operation or premature wear of many components of
the tool. Drain water from the compressor tank regularly. The
compressor start-stop limits should be set to deliver an air
pressure of at least 100 psi (7 bar) at all times. Consult the
compressor manual or dealer for instructions on how to make
this adjustment.

This tool comes in one of 3 different configurations:

•L-type 16ga nails in lengths of 1½" (38 mm), 1¾" (45 mm)

or 2" (50 mm)

•T-type 16ga nails in lengths of 1½" (38 mm) or 2" (50 mm)

•½" crown 15½ga staples in lengths of 1½" (38 mm), 1¾"

(45 mm) or 2" (50 mm)

USE ONLY THE TYPE OF FASTENERS IDENTIFIED ON THE

MAGAZINE. THE USE OF ANY OTHER TYPE OF
FASTENERS WILL DAMAGE THE TOOL.

P250AL – Loading the tool with L-type 16ga nails:

This tool is fitted with the technology. Its automatic
magazine holds & feeds 200 nails (2 strips) in an assembly
no longer than a conventional one. Its exclusive pusher locks
into a pre-armed position, allowing nails to be fed by gravity
until it automatically engages behind. To load the tool:

•Insert one or two rows of flooring nails into the back end of

the magazine.

•Pull the pusher back completely and release it until it locks

in position or engages behind the nails.

•To remove nails from the magazine, simply squeeze the

pusher with your thumb and index finger and allow it to
recoil slowly. You can then slide out remaining nails.

P250AT – Loading the tool with T-type nails:

At 80 psi (5.5 bar) and 100 hits per minute, this tool consumes
approximately 4.7 cu.ft (130 R) of air per minute at 70EF (21EC).
Higher air pressure will increase the consumption of
compressed air.

This tool is designed to be operated with a compressed air
pressure of 80 to 100 psi (5.5-7.0 bar). Air pressure of 90 psi
(6.2 bar) is adequate for most situations, although occasionally,
a higher pressure could be necessary. Always use the tools at
minimum operating pressure in order to avoid unnecessary
high noise level. In these more difficult cases, the compressed
air pressure can be increased up to 100 psi (7.0 bar). It is very
important not to exceed this maximum pressure to prevent
leaks, premature wear or damages to the tool.

Check the compressed air supply hose before connecting to
ensure that it is free from dirt or particles that can alter the
performance of the tool. Pay special attention to any air leaks.
Do not use a compressed air pressure higher than 110 psi
(7.6 bar). Higher pressure can cause premature wear or
damage to certain components. After assembly, check all the
connections to prevent the leaks and to have maximum
efficiency.

TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE TO THE FINISHED

SURFACE OF THE INSTALLED FLOOR, REST THE TOOL
ONTO THE SUBFLOORING WHEN CONNECTING AIR,
LOADING TOOL OR PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE TO
THE TOOL.

•Insert a row of T-type nails into the back end of the

magazine.

•Pull back on the pusher until it engages behind the nails.

•To remove nails from the magazine, simply squeeze the

pusher with your thumb and index finger and allow it to
recoil slowly. You can then slide out remaining nails.

P250AS – Loading the tool with flooring staples:

This tools is fitted with the technology. Its automatic
magazine hold & feed 4 strips of flooring staples in an
assembly no longer than a conventional one. Its exclusive
pusher locks into a pre-armed position, allowing staples to
be fed by gravity until it automatically engages behind. To
load the tool:

•Insert up to 4 strips of flooring staples into the back of the

magazine.

•Pull the pusher back completely and release it until it locks

in position or engages behind the last strip.

•To remove staples from the magazine, pull back

completely and hold the pusher, tilt the tool to slide back
remaining staples.

ADJUSTING FOR HARDWOOD THICKNESS

ADJUSTING ROLLER BASE

The P250A pneumatic tool is fitted with a fully adjustable
plastic base designed to prevent contact with the top edge of
the flooring. It is important to adjust the tool to fit the flooring
prior any installation. It also features a resting block which
prevent damage to the top edge of the flooring by positioning
the tool against the tongue, preventing the gate/foot assembly
from contacting the board.

Step 1: adjusting the base for flooring thickness:

•Using the supplied Allen wrench, loosen but do not remove
screws (A); two on each side of the tool.

•With the tool in an upside down position, place a short
piece of flooring against the gate/foot assembly.

•Engage the Allen wrench in knob (B) as shown; rotate to
move the base up or down. Note that knob (B) has a
rotation range of only about 1/2 turn. Do not apply force
when a limit is reached.

•Adjust the height of the plastic base to obtain a small gap
between the gate/foot assembly and the top side of the
tongue of the sample board. A gap of 1/32" should be
adequate for most situations.

•Tighten both screws (A).

Step 2: adjusting the resting block for the width of the tongue:

•Using the Allen wrench, loosen by about 1/2 turn ― do not
remove the two screws (C).

•With the short piece of flooring still against the gate/foot
assembly, adjust the gap between the resting block and
the tongue with screw (D). A small gap of 1/32" should be
adequate for most situations.

•Tighten both screws (C).

•Ensure that screw (D) is slightly tighten. Do not apply force
on screw (D) once screws (C) are tighten.

The P250A can be mounted on a roller base (standard on
P250AR & P250AG).

Step 1: adjusting the back rollers for flooring thickness:

•Using the 3/16" wrench, unfasten but do not remove
screws (A), on each side.

•Put the tool upside down and position a short piece of
flooring against the gate/foot assembly.

•Engage the 3/16" wrench in knob (B) as shown; rotate to
move the base up or down. Note that the rotation range is
only about 1/2 turn, do not apply unnecessary force when
a limit is reached.

•Adjust the height of the base to obtain a small gap
between the gate/foot assembly and the top side of the
tongue of the sample board. A gap of 1/32", about half the
thickness of the nail, should be adequate for most
situations.

•Tighten both screws (A).

After completing the adjustment procedure, proceed with the
installation of few boards. Carefully check for the proper
positioning of the fastener onto the board. Check again after
few more rows to insure that all parts are secured in place.
Tool may lose adjustment over time if this procedure is not
strictly followed.

BEFORE STARTING AN INSTALLATION, FASTEN DOWN

FEW BOARDS TO ASCERTAIN THAT YOU ARE USING THE
RIGHT TOOL AND FASTENER.

Step 2: adjusting the resting block for the width of the tongue:

•The front rollers are always in contact with the front edge
of the board. It is necessary to adjust the resting block to
maintain a small gap between it and the tongue of the
board.

•Using the 3/16" wrench, unfasten by about 1/2 turn ― do
not remove the two screws (C).

•With the short piece of flooring still against the gate/foot
assembly, adjust the gap between the resting block and
the tongue. A small gap of 1/32", about half the thickness
of the nail, should be adequate for most situations.

•Tighten both screws (C).

OPERATION

MAINTENANCE & REPAIR

Unload tool and rest it onto the subflooring, Connect the hose
and cycle tool once or twice without fastener. After loading the
tool, the tool is ready for use.

Use only the 2.5 lbs (1.1 kg) hammer supplied with the tool.
The use of other type of hammers may affect performance.
The rubber face of the hammer can be used with care to help
position the boards.

With the flooring firmly in place, position the
tool onto the flooring, with the resting block
P-534 against the tongue. Apply downward
pressure to ensure proper seating of the
fastener. Strike the head cap with the hammer
to activate the tool, Use only the RUBBER FACE

of the hammer to activate the tool. Using
the steel end will damage the tool and void
the warranty. If wood is slightly twisted, hitting the tool with

more force will assist in pulling the board up snugly. NEVER
strike the head cap when the tool is not sitting on the working
surface.

OPERATING THE TOOL WHEN THE SAFETY CONTACT IS

NOT FULLY DEPRESSED WILL CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR
OR DAMAGE TO THE DRIVING BLADE, PISTON AND
CYLINDER.

Be it raw, factory finished or engineered, hardwood is a natural
material subject to various factors, such as humidity,
subflooring, installation procedure, type of tools, fasteners, etc.
Installer should always ensure optimal surface preparation,
comply with all manufacturers recommendations and conduct
a pre-installation test prior to beginning any installation.

Most adjustments to the tool can be made with the 3/16" Allen
wrench supplied with the tool.

Disassembly of the tool must be done in a clean environment.
Some parts can be easily damaged if disassembled with
improper tools or by inadequate methods. Maintenance should
only be performed by trained personnel. Use only genuine
PRIMATECH replacement parts.

TO PREVENT INJURY, ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE AIR

SUPPLY HOSE WHEN SERVICING OR DISASSEMBLING
THE TOOL.

When servicing the tool, do not twist or force any parts.
Damage may result from such abuse. Contact your PRIMATECH
distributor for more information.

DISASSEMBLING THE TOOL

All pneumatic components required are packed in a cartridge
assembly which is simply inserted & removed from the tool.
This section describes how to disassemble the tool to access
its internal components.

[1]Loosen up the head lock and rotate it ¼ turn to disengage

it from the head.

[2]It is usually not necessary to remove the head cap. Simply

unscrew the head completely and take out the whole
assembly. You may engage the long arm of the Allen key
into one of the side holes and use it as a lever.

[3]Pull out by hand the cylinder from the head. Do not use

screwdriver or vise. If the cylinder remains into the main
body, pull it out of it.

[4]Pull out the valve assembly from the head. Inspect wear

ring & lubricate. Do not attempt to disassemble the valve
assembly.

[5]Pull out the piston assembly; the bumper will also come

with it. Inspect wear ring and lubricate.
It is usually not necessary to pull-out the seal bushing for

maintenance.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

This tool requires minimal lubrication. Use only
detergent-free oil such as Primatech P-090. Few
drops of oil weekly in the air inlet is sufficient. Other
types of lubricant may degrade the seals.

Check periodically to make sure that the head assembly is fully
screwed onto the main body. A loosen head will damage the
threads.

CLEANING THE VALVE

If the tool becomes sluggish or does not set the fastener
correctly, it may indicate excessive dirt, dust, other particles, or
even water, in the tool. The first step in troubleshooting is to
clean up the head assembly.

•Disassemble the head assembly as described in previous
section.

•Perform a visual inspection of the valve assembly. Ensure
that the actuator is sliding easily. Clean and lubricate lightly.
Do not attempt to take apart the actuator assembly.

•Clean the inside wall of the head and lubricate lightly with a
non-detergent oil. Insert the valve assembly into the head
and ensure that it is sliding easily.

•Ensure the piston assembly is sliding easily into the cylinder.
It should offer some resistance, but if it moves too easily, it
may be required to replace the piston wear-ring.

ASSEMBLING THE TOOL

This section describes how to re-assemble the tool after
maintenance. The following procedure assumes that the
gate/foot assembly along with the resting block are already
installed.

[1]Insert the seal bushing in the lower section of main body

and engage it onto the upper portion of the gate/foot
assembly. A flat screwdriver can help locate it correctly.
Use the wooden handle of the hammer to tap the seal
bushing completely in place.

Note: select the appropriate replacement part:

- use P-525B for the "L" or "T" nailers

- use P-525C for staplers

[2]With the tool in the upright position, push the bumper in

place, indexed onto the seal bushing.

[3]Insert the piston assembly into the tool and engage the

driving blade thru the opening of the seal bushing. Depress
the safety contact and engage down the driving blade has
completely into gate/foot assembly guiding channel.

[4]Check & lubricate the valve assembly. Insert into the head

and ensure that it is sliding easily.

[5]Snap the cylinder onto the head. Check that the band-

valve on the cylinder is properly installed.

[6]With the head lock loosened, insert the whole cartridge

assembly into the main body; the main cylinder engaging
onto the piston assembly. Insert the Alen key into one of
the side holes and screw the head assembly completely.
Take care not do damage the threads. Tighten by hand.

NEVER APPLY THREADLOCKER OR ADHESIVE ONTO

HEAD THREADS.

[7]Rotate the head lock clockwise and tighten with moderate

force with the Allen key.

AFTER REASSEMBLY, ALWAYS ACTUATE THE TOOL

REPEATEDLY WITHOUT FASTENERS AGAINST A
PIECE OF WOOD TO INSURE PROPER OPERATION.

This tool features a head lock to
maintain firmly in place the head
assembly during operation. Before
inserting the head assembly, ensure
that the lock is free to swivel and
rotate it away from the head
opening. After inserting the head
assembly in place, rotate the lock
and tighten with the Allen key using
moderate force. To remove the
head assembly, simply unscrew the head lock ¼ turn and
rotate it counter-clockwise.

REPLACING THE DRIVING BLADE

The driving blade is sold separately or supplied as a complete
subassembly with the piston.

•Follow steps [1] & [2] of the section 'Disassembling the tool'
to remove the head assembly. Pull the cylinder out of the
main body if necessary. It is usually not necessary to
disassemble the head assembly.

•Pull-out the piston assembly.

•Remove any debris and assess condition of cylinder. If
marked or grouged, use a fine sand paper to smooth out
walls. The piston must be allowed to move without
restriction.

•Lock the piston in a vise, using a rag to prevent scoring.
Always use the top and bottom faces to secure the piston in
place.

•Remove the broken driver using a 1/2" closed-end wrench.

•Put one drop of medium strength adhesive sealant onto the
threads of the piston.

Insert the P-622C lock washer and screw the new driving blade
onto the piston. Tighten very hard (140 lbAin minimum). Make
sure that the lock washer P-622C is completely flattened.

Note: select the appropriate driving blade:

- use P-423 driving blade for the "L" or "T" nailers

- use P-237 driving blade for staplers

•Remove the bumper, inspect & remove debris.

•Reassemble tool following instructions in previous section.

INSTALLING THE SAFETY
