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.
Never use the Safety Trigger interlock to lock up the plunger
and rack the wood with blows to the Nailer body. This will
severely damage the safety mechanism and Nailer. This abuse
and damage is not covered by the warranty.
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.
Fill the lubricator with Mobile DTE Light Synthetic
Hydrocarbon Oil. Adjust the lubricator to the manufacturers’
recommendations. Do not over oil the Nailer, as excess oil
will be discharged with the spent air and could stain the wood
flooring, walls or furnishings. We will not be responsible for
oil stains.
WARNING
Detergent oil is not recommended and
may damage the seals. Consult the filter regulator lubricator
manufacturer’s recommendations for proper operation, settings
and unit maintenance.
The air source must continuously deliver 70 to 110 psi and
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
Mobile DTE Light Oil, supplied with your Nailer, into the
disconnected air line male connector attached to the Nailer.
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 flooring, walls
or furnishings. Dry fire the Nailer, without nails, to purge
excess oil, before you begin to nail down flooring. 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 service.
WARNING
Never work on the Nailer if the air line
is attached. Always disconnect the air line from the Nailer first.
NAILER DISASSEMBLY:
TO REPLACE RUBBER BUMPER (#31):
1. Disconnect the air supply
2. Remove the four (4) cap screws holding the Adapter Foot,
Foot and Nail Channel assembly to the main Body
(see illustration).
3. Pull the Rubber Bumper out of the cylinder bore. Replace the
old Bumper if it shows signs of wear or it is split.
4. Reverse these steps to reassemble the Nailer. Be sure to align
the Driving Blade with the slot in the Nail Channel Assembly
while you reassemble the Nailer. NEVER FIRE THE NAILER
WITHOUT THE RUBBER BUMPER INSTALLED, IT WILL
DAMAGE THE NAILER.
TO REPLACE DRIVING BLADE(#17):
1. Disconnect the air supply
2. Remove the four socket head cap screws holding the Adapter
Foot, Foot and Nail Channel Assembly to the body.
3. Remove the Rubber Bumper
4. Pull the Driving Blade with pliers until the Piston is fully
extended outward towards the bottom of the cylinder.
5. Use the 15/16" box wrench supplied to unscrew the Driving
Blade Jam Nut and remove it. Hold the Piston from turning
while unscrewing the Jam Nut by holding the piston hex with
the 1-1/8" box wrench supplied.
6. Push out the 1/4" diameter blade retaining Dowel Pin and
remove the broken Driving Blade stub.
7. Install a new Driving Blade in the slot and replace the Dowel
Pin. Screw on the retaining Jam Nut using the same tools. If the
Jam Nut becomes worn and loose after frequent removals, it
should be replaced.
8. Check the fit, there should be some sideways movement
between the Driving Blade and the Jam Nut assembly. This
is desirable and helps the blade to align itself with the mating
parts.
9. Reassemble the components. Be sure to align the Driving
Blade with the slot in the Adapter Foot Assembly, it goes in only
one way.
