SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When operating this Nailer, the operator and others in the work area should ALWAYS wear approved SAFETY GLASSES, with front and side eye protection. Eye protection will help guard against flying nails and debris, which could cause severe eye injury.

EAR PROTECTION should be used to prevent hearing damage when there are high noise levels in the work area. ALWAYS use ear plugs with a noise reduction rated at 29 db or higher at a construction site.

Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible WARNING LABEL.

Noise characteristic values in accordance with ENxx1:

A-weighted single-event sound pressure level at operator's position: LPA, ls94dBA

A-weighted single sound pressure level:LpA,Is,Im89dBA

Vibration characteristic values in accordance with ISO 8662, PART II

Weighted root mean square acceleration 3.2 m/s^2

Always DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY before making any adjustments, repairing, clearing jams or when the Nailer is not in use. Do not use on scaffolding or ladders and disconnect nailer from air supply when transporting between installation areas.

Never attach the female end of a quick disconnect to the Nailer. This will trap air inside the Nailer and permit it to be discharged. Only the unrestricted male connection should be attached to the Nailer.

Nailer requires an air source that can continuously deliver 70 to 120 psi at 3-1/2 cubic feet of air per minute for operation. Normal air pressure should not exceed 120 psi or damage to the Nailer and seals may occur. Excess air pressure can cause the Nailer to explode. Do not continue to use a tool that leaks air or does not function properly. Notify your nearest Powernail representative if your tool continues to experience functional problems.

To prevent fire or explosion, use only regulated compressed air—do not use bottled gases of any kind (no oxygen or combustible gasses) to power this Nailer. Nailer is intended for use installing wood flooring and is not to be used for purposes not specified in the operations manual.

Do not use any nails other than Powernail® Powercleats which are 20 gauge L-cleat nails specifically designed for use in any 20 gauge Powernailer. Powercleat nails are available in lengths of 1" and 1-1/4". Contact your Powernail Dealer for the correct Powercleats for the Model 2000F.

Use only Powernail replacement parts in the repair or maintenance of this nailer. Parts or repair services are available from the manufacturer or from agents authorized by the manufacturer. Repairs should be carried out only by trained service personnel in the field of fastener driving tools who will observe proper safety controls while performing maintenance. Service personnel should be qualified to assess the safe working condition of fastener driving tools.

Always make sure Nailer is empty of nails before connecting air hose, so as to prevent any accidental discharge from occurring. ONLY CONNECT AIR TO AN UNLOADED NAILER.

Do not depress the trigger when loading. If the fasteners are jammed, disconnect the tool from the air supply before you remove the jammed nails.

Never place any part of the body in the discharge path of the Nailer when air is connected to the Nailer. Never point the tool at yourself or others, even if the tool is not loaded. For safety, keep out of reach of children. Never leave the Nailer unattended while it is connected to an air supply. Never disable, clamp or tape the safety trigger in an activated position.

Do not fire into hard materials or attempt to use on hard or brittle material such as concrete, steel or tile. Before using this tool, carefully check that all parts are working correctly. Do not use the tool if it is not operating correctly, check for causes and adjust as necessary for proper operation. When not in use, the tool should be cleaned, fully assembled and then stored in a dry location. This will extend the life of the tool and reduce any oxidation.

OPERATION

The Model 2000F nails down fl ooring from 5/16" to 1/2" using the Powernail FLEX adjustable foot assembly that can be adjusted to fi t different fl ooring profi les.

To use the Model 2000F, properly position the tool on the flooring plank (See picture below). Pull up and hold the black safety trigger to activate the orange fi ring trigger. The nailer will drive and set the nail at the correct angle.

Note: Modifying or altering the nailer in anyway can potentially cause injury and may void the warranty.

The unique body design allows for different grip angles and has an adjustable exhaust port to redirect nailer exhaust.

FLEX Foot Adjustment

How to adjust your tool's foot to your floor's thickness:

Use the photos on the right for reference:

1.) First loosen the tool's FLEX foot by turning the lever from right to left/counter clockwise. (See image 1.a)
a.) The FLEX foot should now freely slide up-and-down the magazine.
2.) Using a sample of your flooring, slide the FLEX foot back on the channel and set the nose of the stapler securely into the nail pocket (see image 1.b). Important: Orient the board as it is intended to be installed, with the floor board's surface facing up.
3.) While keeping the nose of the stapler/nailer in the nail pocket (resting on top of the tongue and against the shoulder) slide the FLEX foot forward until it lies flat on the flooring surface. (see image 1.c)
4.) Now turn the FLEX foot's adjustment lever from left to right (clockwise) to tighten the foot. (see image 1.d)
5.) Always test fire into a test piece of flooring to ensure the nail is setting correctly.

If your FLEX foot is not tight enough:

1.) If your tool's foot is not tight enough or if the FLEX foot is not maintaining its "set" position, you may adjust its tightness by pulling OUT on the lever (see image 1.e) and turning it from right to left (see image 1.f). Release the lever (make sure that it reseats) and turn from left to right (see image 1.g). This is a form of ratcheting mechanism and does not require any tools to loosen or tighten.

a.) ***If your Flex Foot needs to be loosened, reverse the process listed above.
2.) If you are experiencing trouble in making this adjustment please visit www.powernail.com/f-series-adjustment to view a helpful demonstration video.

CONNECTING THE TOOL TO AN AIR SUPPLY

Your air tool is fully assembled when you receive it. Before using it, attach the air line and desired air system accessories. Be sure the air hose is depressurized when installing or removing adapters to the air line. To prevent misfi re, do not connect air to a loaded nailer.

1.) An automatic airline oilier is recommended but oil may be added manually before every operation or after about 8 hours of continuous use.
2.) Place two (2) drops of air-tool oil in the air plug as shown (Figure 2). If you are using an automatic in-line oiler, check and add oil if necessary.
3.) Turn your compressor on and set the compressors pressure regulator to the proper pressure. Normal operating pressure should be adjusted between 70-120 psi based on fastener and wood being used.
4.) Connect the tool to the air supply (Figure 3).

MAINTENANCE

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

1.) Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best performance. Oil added through the airline connection will lubricate internal parts. An automatic airline oilier is recommended but oil may be added manually before every operation or after about 8 hours of continuous use. Only a few drops of oil at a time are necessary. Too much oil will collect inside the tool and be blown out during the exhaust cycle. ONLY USE PNEUMATIC TOOL OIL. Do not use detergent oil or additives, as these lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals in the tool.
2.) Use a small amount of oil on all moving surfaces and pivots.
3). Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of pneumatic tool wear. Use a filter/oiler for better performance and longer life. The filter must have adequate flow capacity for the specific application.
4.) Keep tools clean for better and safer performance. Use

nonflammable cleaning solutions only if necessary. CAUTION: Soaking the tool may damage O-rings and other tool parts.

CLEARING A JAM

Disassembly: (See Figure 7.)

1) NOTE: Do not remove the four M4 screws (80).
2) Loosen the 4 M4 screws (78) with a 3mm allen wrench.
3) Slide the gate plate down until it is free from the nose..
6) Lift the gate plate (72) off.
5) Inspect and clear any debris from the drive blade (27) and its path.
