Setting the air pressure

1. The amount of air pressure required depends on the
size of the fasteners and the workpiece material.
2. Begin testing the depth of drive by driving a test nail
into the same type of workpiece material used for the
actual job.
3. Drive a test fastener with the air pressure set at 90-95
psi.
4. Raise or lower the air pressure to find the lowest
setting that will perform the job with consistent
results.

Operating the tool

1. Attach the tool to the air source. Start your
compressor and check the pressure, making sure it is
set between 70-115 psi. Do not exceed the maximum
115 psi.
2. Hold the hand grip (J) securely and press the foot
plate (D) to the work surface. Make sure the plate is
over the fastener target position.
3. Press down firmly so that the foot plate (D) is firmly
contacting the work surface. Then, using the mallet
packed with the tool, strike the hammer cap (K) firmly
to drive the fastener into work surface. Lift the tool off
the work surface. Repeat this process until the job is
completed.
Tongue and groove flooring
The flooring nailer is designed for tongue and groove
flooring only. Place the nailer flush onto the work surface
and ensure that you are striking at the tongue of the
hardwood floor.
NOTE:
If you strike on the groove rather than the tongue
the fastener will leave approximately a 1/4" up from
the work surface. Adjust the pressure accordingly to get
the right depth.
