When using pneumatic tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of personal
injury. Pl ease make certain that the person who is going to use this equipment carefully reads and understands
these instructions before starting operations.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
There are certain applic ations for which this tool was des igned. It is strongly recommended that this tool NOT be
modified and /or used for any application other than for which it was designed.
1. USE SAFETY GLASSES
To prevent eye injuries, the tool operator and all persons in the
work area must wear safety glasses with permanently-attached,
rigid, plastic side shields. These safety glasses must conform to
ANSI Z87.1 requirements (approved glasses have “Z87” printed
or stamped on them). See Figure 1.
2. WEAR EAR PROTECTION to safeguard against possible hearing
loss. See Figure1.
3. OPERATOR AND BYSTANDERS SHOULD WEAR HARD HATS to
safeguard against possible injuries. See Figure1.
4. USE CLEAN, DRY, REGULATED compressed air at 70 to 120 PSI,
(4.8 to 8.3 BAR). See Figure 2.
5. DO NOT CONNECT TOOL to pressure which potentially exceeds
200 PSI (13.8BAR)
6. ONLY USE AIR HOSE THAT IS RATED for a maximum working
pressure of 150 PSI or 150% of the m aximum system pressure,
whichever is greater.
7. NEVER USE OXYGEN, CARBON DIOXIDE, combustible gases or
any other bottled gas as a power source for this tool: explosion
and serious personal injury could result. See Figure 3.
8. CONNECT TOOL TO AIR SUPPLY HOSE with a coup ling that
removes all press ure from the tool when the coupling is
disconnected. See Figure 4.
9. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM AIR SUPPLY HOSE befor e doing tool
maintenance, c learing a jammed fastener, leaving the work area,
moving tool to anot her location, handing the tool t o another
person, or making adjustments. See Figure 5.
10. NEVER USE A TOOL that is leaking air, has missing or dam aged
parts, or requires repair. Make sure that all screws and caps are
securely tightened.
11. DO NOT USE TOOL WITHOUT SAFETY WARNING LABEL. If label
is missing, dam aged or unreadable, contact your Servic e C entre
for a replacement. See Figure 6.
13. REMOVE ALL FASTENERS from tool before connecting t o air supply. The tool’s driving mechanism may
cycle when tool is connected to the air supply. See Figure 7.
14. ALWAYS ASSUME THE TOOL CONTAINS FASTENERS. Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others
at all times. Do not pla y around with the tool. Respect the tool as a working implement. See Figure 8.
15. USE THE MALLET TO RACK THE WOOD STRIP, NOT THE NAILER. See Figure 9.
16. DO NOT USE THE METAL END OF THE MALLET TO STRIKE THE PLUNGER. Use the rubber capped end
17. FIRE FASTENERS INTO WORK SURFACE ONLY. Never fire into materials that are too hard to penetrate.
18. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS on top of other fasteners. The fasteners can ricochet, causing personal injuries.
See Figure 10.
This nailer is a heavy dut y, 2 in 1 pneumatic flooring nailer. It is designed to install tongue and groove hardwood
flo oring with L-shaped nails or staples. Flooring in thic knesses of 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, and 25/32 c an be inst alled using
1 – ½” and 2” length nails respectively.
Power Source
This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry, compressed air at regulated pressures between 70 and 120 PSI
(Pounds per Square Inch). The preferred system would incl ude a fi lter, a pressure regulator, and an automatic
oiler located as close to the tool as possible (within 15 feet is ideal).
All compressed air contains moisture and other contaminates that are detrimental to internal components of the
tool. An airline filter will remove most of these contaminates and significantly prolo ng the life of the tool. If an inline oiler is not availa ble, place 10 to 15 drops of Air Tool O il into the tool’s air inlet at the beginning of each
workday.
IMPORTANT: Do not over lubricate the Nailer; excess oil mist or drops will be vented with spent air when over
lubricated. Excess oil could stain the wood flooring, walls or fur nishings. Dry-fire the nailer, without nails, to
purge excess oil, before you begin nailing.
The tool is equipped with a ¼ male “quick connector”. The tool must always be connected to the air supply with
a coupling such that all pressure is removed from the tool when the coupling is disc onnected.
WARNING: All airline components (hoses, connectors, filter s, regulators, etc.) must have a minim um working
pressure rat ing of 150 PSI (10.3BAR) or 150% of maximum system pot ential, w hichever is higher.
Do not connect this tool to a system with maximum potential.
Only connect t ool t o air supply with a coupling that will release all pressure from the tool when disconnected.
Disconnect t ool f rom air supply before performing maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leav ing the work
area, handing the tool to another person, or making adjustments.
Preparing the Tool
1. After reading and understanding this entire manual, connect tool to air supply. (See Figure 12).
WARNING: K eep tool pointed away from yourself and others at all times.
Always connect t ool to air supply before loading fasteners .
Always wear Z87 approved safety glasses and hearing protection when preparing or operating the tool.
Never use a tool that leaks air or needs repair.
2. Pull the movable magazine to up lock place. See Figure 13.
3. Put the strip of L-shaped nail or s taple into fixed magazine. See Figure 14 and Fig ure 15.
4. Push the movable magazine for ward until it is locked in place. See Figure 16.
Using the Tool
Complete all steps of Preparing the Tool before using the tool.
Position and closely fit the flooring strip with the mallet together. Position the tool on the tongued edge of the
flooring str ip (see Figure 17), aligning the driver guide against the front of the flooring strip.
Strike the rubber cap with the rubber mallet. The tool will then drive the staple or cleat at the correct 45 degree
angle as shown in Figures 18 – 21. The proper length of flooring nail to use with various thicknesses of flooring
is also shown in Figures 18 – 21.
It is not necessary to hit the rubber cap hard to activate it. Never hit the tool with excessive force, as this will
damage the tool.
DO NOT USE THE METAL END OF THE MALLET TO STRIKE THE RUBBER CAP; use the rubber end only.
NOTE: When Using Tool to install Pre-finished Flooring
•
This floor nailer was designed for installing both unfinished and pre-finished hardwood floor ing. Care must
be used however when instal li ng pre-finished flooring to ensure that the finish is not damaged by the tool. It
is recommended that t he tool be i nspected for damage, especially the base plate (A) (see Figure 17) and
tested on a sample section to be certain that the tool and the technique used do not mar the finish. This
procedure should be f ollowed before each job due to variations in flooring and was designed for installi ng
both unfinished and t o ol conditio ns.
WARNING: K eep tool pointed in a safe direction at all times.
WARNING: N ever attempt to drive a fastener into material that is too hard, the fastener can ricochet causing
personal Injury.
