DO NOT place your hands near the
nail point of entry. A nail can deflect
and tear through the surface of the
workpiece, puncturing your hand or
fingers.
NOTICE
DO NOT use the nailer to position the
flooring strip. Doing so will damage
the nailer and possibly the flooring
strip.
Note: If you are using pre-finished
flooring material, test the nailer on a
sample strip. If the nailer base plate
is damaging or marring the flooring
surface, replace it with a new one.
4. Place the nailer on the flooring strip,
as shown in Figure 3.
5. Make sure the cleat on the nailer
base plate is lined up with the edge
of the groove on the flooring strip.
6. Using the rubber end of the included
hammer, hit the whack cap of the
nailer ONCE with a light to medium
force to shoot a nail into the wood.
Never hit the whack cap of the nailer
multiple times to drive the nail
into the wood. If necessary, use a
hammer and nail punch to drive the
nail in. Failure to heed this warning
could cause a nail jam or a ricochet,
and serious personal injury.
7. Check the nail for satisfactory
penetration.
— If the nail depth is satisfactory,
proceed with your project.
— If the nail depth is too shallow,
slightly increase the air pressure.
— If the nail depth is too deep,
slightly decrease the air pressure.
Note: Nailing penetration is not
always consistent due to variations in
the flooring material. If necessary,
use a hammer and nail punch to
finish seating the nail.
Clearing Jammed Nails
A jammed nail must be cleared before
using the nailer again.
To clear a jammed nail from the dis-
charge area, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT NAILER FROM THE AIR
SUPPLY!
2. Pull the magazine pusher all the way
back and remove the nail stick.
