WARNING: The tool may fire when it first connected to
the air source. Always connect the tool to the air
source before loading fasteners to prevent injury from
unintended cycling. Always make sure the tool's
magazine is empty at the beginning of each work
session, before connecting to an air source.
WARNING: Use only those fasteners recommended
for use with this tool. Fasteners not identified for use
with this tool by the tool manufacturer are able to

Change the foot plate

The tool is equipped with a factory pre-installed 3/4 in. Foot
Plate (G). And an additional uninstalled 5/8 in. foot plate. To
change the plate:
Disconnect the tool from the air source.
Empty the magazine completely.
Fire the tool into a piece of scrap wood to ensure there is
no compressed air or fasteners left in the tool.
Set the tool on its side to expose the four screws (H).
Remove the four screws (H), then, remove the foot plate.
Align the four screw holes in the replacement foot plate
with the four threaded mounting holes.
Using the four screws you removed just now, secure the
replacement foot plate to the tool.
Ensure the correct foot plate is installed by firing into a
scrap piece of flooring and checking for proper fastener
placement.

WARNING: Disconnect the tool from the air source
whenever changing the foot plate.
Make sure there is no fastener in the magazine before
changing the foot plate.

Setting the air pressure

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

Operating the tool

Attach the tool to the air source. Start your compressor
and check the pressure, making sure it is set between 70-
115psi. Do not exceed the maximum 115 psi
Hold the arm (A) securely and press foot plate (G) to the
work surface. Make sure the plate is over the fastener
target position.
Press down hard so that the foot plate (G) is firmly
contacting the work surface. Then, using the mallet
packet with the tool, strike the hammer cap (I) firmly to
drive the fastener into work surface. Lift the tool off the
work surface. Repeat this process until the job is
completed.
When finished, make sure to store the tool in a clean, dry,
safe location out of reach of children and other
unauthorized people.
WARNING: Extreme caution must be used whenever
this tool is connected to an air resource. If the tool is
dropped, or if the hammer cap (I) is accidentally struck,
then the tool will fire a fastener, potentially causing
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
WARNING: Keep your feet off the tool.

WARNING: Before using the tool on a floor, test the
tool on a scrap piece of wood. Adjust the driving depth
by providing more or less air pressure. Never exceed
115PSI.

WARNING: An improperly functioning tool must not be
used. Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed
firmly against the work piece.
NOTE: Make sure the hammer cap on the flooring nailer is in

Clearing jams

Occasionally, fasteners may become jammed in the firing
mechanism of the tool, making the tool inoperable. To
remove a jammed fastener, follow the steps below:
Disconnect the tool from air source.
Empty the magazine. Make sure all fasteners are
removed.
Try to fire the tool into a piece of scrap wood or flooring to
make sure that it's incapable of firing any fasteners.
Set the tool on its side to expose the nose bolts (J).
Remove nose bolts (J) and driver guide (K) to expose the
jammed fastener.
Remove jammed fastener, using plier or a screwdriver if
required.
Replace the driver guide (K) and nose bolts (J).
Reconnect tool to the air source, then reload the tool with
fasteners.
Press the drive guide (K) against a piece of wood, and
test fire the fasteners several times to check for proper
operation. If the tool is properly firing, you may continue
using the tool. If the tool fails to perform properly,
immediately discontinue use and have the tool repaired
by a qualified service technician.
