Powernail Powernailer 2000F, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Page: 3 / 12

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 110 psi at 3-1/2 cubic feet of air per
minute for operation. Normal air pressure should not exceed 110 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 fi re 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
fl ooring and is not to be used for purposes not specifi ed in the operations manual.
Do not use any nails other than Powernail® Powercleats which are 20 gage L-cleat nails specifi cally
designed for use in any 20 gage 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 personel in the fi eld of fastener driving tools who will observe proper
safety controls while performing maintenance. Service personel should be qualifi ed 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 fi re 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.
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 fl ying 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.
