Intended Use
Your 2-N-1™ Flooring Nailer is designed for professional
installation of hardwood flooring.
CAUTION:
Your flooring nailer can be used to install
pre-finished flooring however caution must be used
to ensure that the finish is not damaged by the tool. It
is recommended that the tool be tested on a sample
section to be certain that the tool and technique of
use do not leave marks on the finish. This procedure
should be followed before each job due to variations
in flooring and tool condition.
Your nailer is a professional power tool.
DO nOT
let children come into contact with the tool.
Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use
this tool.
Components (Fig. A)
WARNING:
Never modify the power tool or any part
of it. Damage or personal injury could result.
Refer to Figure A at the beginning of this manual for a

Additional Safety Warnings
• Use the

WALT
pneumatic tool only for the purpose for
which it was designed.
• Never use this tool in a manner that could cause a fastener
to be directed toward the user or others in the work area.
• Do not use the tool as a hammer.
• Always carry the tool by the handle. Never carry the tool
by the air hose.
• Do not alter or modify this tool from the original design or
function without approval from

.
• Always be aware that misuse and improper handling of
this tool can cause injury to yourself and others.
• Before using the tool, verify that the actuator is in the non-
actuated position. With the tool disconnected from the air
supply, depress the actuator and confirm it returns to the
non-actuated position.
• Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose attached.
• Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible
WARNING LABEL.
• Do not continue to use a tool that leaks air or does
not function properly. Notify your nearest

representative if your tool continues to experience
functional problems.
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL INJURIES:
• Never place a hand or any other part of the body in nail
discharge area of tool while the air supply is connected.
• Never point the tool at anyone else.
• Never engage in horseplay.
• Never actuate the tool unless nose is directed at the work.
• Always handle the tool with care.
• Do not actuate the tool while loading.
Adjustments and Usage Prep
Air supply and Connections
WARNING:
Do not use oxygen, combustible
gases, or bottled gases as a power source for this
tool as tool may explode, possibly causing injury.
Fittings
Install a male plug on the tool which is free flowing
and which will release air pressure from the tool when
disconnected from the supply source.
hoses
Air hoses should have a minimum of 150 p.s.i. (10.6 kg/cm2)
working pressure rating or 150 percent of the maximum
pressure that could be produced in the air system. The
supply hose should contain a fitting that will provide “quick
disconnecting” from the male plug
?
on the tool.
supply source
Use only clean regulated compressed air as a power source
for this tool. NEVER USE OXYGEN, COMBUSTIBLE GASES, OR
BOTTLED GASES, AS A POWER SOURCE FOR THIS TOOL AS
TOOL MAY EXPLODE.
Regulator
A pressure regulator with an operating pressure of
0 - 125 p.s.i. (0 - 8.79 KG/CM2) is required to control the
operat iing pressure for safe operation of this tool. Do not
connect this tool to air pressure which can potentially
exceed 200 p.s.i. (14 KG/CM2) as tool may fracture or burst,
possibly causing injury.
Operating Pressure
Do not exceed recommended maximum operating pressure
as tool wear will be greatly increased. The air supply must
be capable of maintaining the operating pressure at the
tool. Pressure drops in the air supply can reduce the tool’s
driving power. Refer to
Tool Specifications
for setting the
correct operating pressure for the tool.
Filter
Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of
wear in pneumatic tools. A filter will help to get the best
performance and minimum wear from the tool. The
filter must have adequate flow capacity for the specific
installation. The filter has to be kept clean to be effective
in providing clean compressed air to the tool. Consult the
manufacturer’s instructions on proper maintenance of your
filter. A dirty and clogged filter will cause a pressure drop
which will reduce the tool’s performance.
lubrication
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best
performance. Use Air Tool Lubricant, Mobil Velocite #10, or
equivalent. Do not use detergent oil or additives as these
lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals and
bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool performance and
frequent tool maintenance. Only a few drops of oil at a time
is necessary inserted into air fitting opening. Too much oil
will only collect inside the tool and will be noticeable in the
exhaust cycle.
