SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Always use approved SAFETY GLASSES and EAR PROTECTION when operating this Nailer. The operator and others in the work area should always wear approved FRONT and SIDE eye protection when operating this Nailer. Eye protection will help guard against fl ying nails and debris, which could cause severe eye injury.

EYE AND 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.

Nailer noise ratings are at LPA-1sd=90.6,

LWA-1sd=99.3 and LPA-1s,1m=86.3.

Nailer vibration rating: m/s2=3.05.

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 80 to 110 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.

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 Nails which are specifically designed for use in any Powernailer. Powercleats Nails are available in various lengths. Contact your Powernail Dealer for Powercleats Nails.

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 authorised by the manufacturer. Repairs should be carried out only by trained service personnel in the fi eld of fastener driving tools who will observe proper safety controls while performing maintenance. Service personnel should be qualified to to assess the safe working condition of fastener driving tools.

Never place any part of the body in the discharge path of the Nailer when air is connected to the Nailer. Always make sure Nailer is empty of cleats before connecting air hose so as to prevent any accidental discharge from occurring.

Never leave the Nailer unattended while it is connected to an air supply.

Whenever air is connected to the Nailer, keep body parts away from the nail discharge path. Disconnect the air line before making adjustments or repairs on the Nailer. Only connect air to an unloaded Nailer so as to prevent accidental discharge.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: It is not necessary to hit the Nailer hard to activate it. Never hit the Nailer with excessive force or with the metal end of the mallet, this will damage the Nailer.

Before each use check all screws to be sure they are tight. Shock and vibration can loosen screws. Do not over tighten any screw.

AIR SUPPLY:

The air must be clean and dry. Dirty and/or wet air will damage the Nailer. A combination filter-regulator-lubricator is required for proper Nailer performance and should be placed close to the Nailer per manufacturer's recommendations.

The air source must continuously deliver 80 to 110 psi (but not over 120 psi) at 3-1/2 cubic feet of air per minute to operate the Nailer. Connect a clean air hose and air regulator to the Nailer.

Check for air supply leaks that waste air and starve the Nailer of air thereby reducing its performance.

LUBRICATION:

If you do not use an in line lubricator, you must lubricate the Nailer manually. The frequency of lubrication is dependent upon the duty cycle of the Nailer. Continuous duty requires more frequent oiling than intermittent duty.

At least every eight (8) hours place two to four drops of Pneumatic Light Air Tool Oil into the disconnected air line male connector attached to the Nailer.

WARNING: Detergent oil is not recommended and may damage the seals.

WARNING: 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 fl ooring, walls or furnishings. Dry fi re the Nailer, without nails, to purge excess oil, before you begin to nail down fl ooring.

We will not be responsible for oil stains. Before storing the Nailer, lubricate and cycle the Nailer in insure internal parts are oil protected from corrosion.

PARTS & SERVICE:

When ordering parts include the part number, part

description, Powernailer model and serial number. Be sure to state the quantity of the part(s) required. Contact your Powernail Dealer for the necessary parts or visit our parts store www.store.powernail.com

WARNING: Never work on the Nailer if the air line is attached. Always disconnect the air line from the Nailer first.

LOADING CLEATS INTO THE NAIL CHANNEL:

Place up to one stick (100) of Powercleats® (16 gauge) nails, 2", 1-3/4", or 1-1/2" long into the nail channel feed slot. Pull back the spring loaded nail pusher over the nails until it contacts the last nail and slowly release the nail pusher.

UNLOADING CLEATS:

To remove nails from the nail channel, pull the two round knobs on the nail pusher together. This will clear it from the nail path. Then turn the nailer over so the nails slide out of the channel.

OPERATING NAILER:

To use the Model 445, simply place the nailer on the floor, pull nailer back so locating ears catch the edge of the floor above the tongue, tap the plunger with the rubber capped mallet end and let the Nailer drive and set the nail at the correct 45 degree angle.

Adjust nailer by adding shims between the adapter foot and pad until there is a slight gap between the tongue of the wood and the locating ears of the adapter foot. See example 1B and 2A.
