Step 2: adjusting the resting block for the width of the tongue:
Using the Allen wrench, loosen by about 1/2 turn
n
do not
remove the two screws (C).
With the short piece of flooring still against the gate/foot
assembly, adjust the gap between the resting block and the
tongue with screw (D). A small gap of 1/32", about half the
thickness of the nail, should be adequate for most situations.
Tighten both screws (C).
Ensure that screw (D) is slightly tighten. Do not apply force
on screw (D) once screws (C) are tighten.
After completing the adjustment procedure, proceed with the
installation of few boards. Carefully check for the proper
positioning of the nail onto the board. Check again after few more
rows to insure that all parts are secured in place. Tool may lose
adjustment over time if this procedure is not strictly followed.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
This tool requires minimal lubrication. Use only
detergent-free oil such as Primatech P-090. Few drops
of oil weekly in the air inlet is sufficient. Other types of
lubricant may degrade the seals.
Check periodically to make sure that all screws are tight. Pay
particular attention to the two screws holding the feeder channel
as well as the screws and nuts on the feeder channel assembly
who might loosen up over time. Be careful not to strip the threads
when tightening. The use of an medium strength adhesive
sealant such as the Loctite 242 is recommended for those screws
and nuts.
MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
Most adjustments to the tool can be made with the 3/16" and
5/32" Allen wrench supplied with the tool. These can be
conveniently stored above the feeder channel Q-048.
Disassembly of the tool must be done in a clean environment.
Some parts can be easily damaged if disassembled with
improper tools or by inadequate methods. Maintenance should
only be performed by trained personnel. Use only genuine
P
RIMATECH
replacement parts.
