LOADING THE TOOL
The pneumatic
EDGE
nailer Q900A uses specialty 1¾"
EDGE
nails. Do not use standard 18
GA
flooring nails.
To load the tool:
• Insert a strip of
EDGE
nails into the magazine.
• Pull back the pusher until it engages behind the strip.
• To remove fasteners from the magazine, simply
squeeze the pusher with your thumb and finger and
allow the spring to recoil slowly.
Use only specialty 1¾"
EDGE
nails. The use
of standard 18
GA
nails will damage your floor
and cause deviation of the nail toward the
front ledge of the board, making it impossible
to properl fit the following row.
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 the head
assembly is fully screwed onto the main body. A loosen
head will damage the threads.

Unload the tool and rest it onto the subflooring,
Connect the hose and cycle tool once or twice without
fastener. After loading the tool, it is ready for use.

EDGE
nails.
Use only the hammer supplied with the tool. The use of
other type of hammers may affect performance and
cause premature wear of the tool. The rubber face of

boards.
With the flooring firmly in place,
position the tool to engage the nail
ejection area onto the front edge of
the board.
Firmly hold the handle and apply downward and
backward pressure to ensure proper seating of the
fastener.
Strike the head cap with the hammer to activate the

Use only the rubber face of the hammer to activate

Soft cores of engineered products may not allow proper
deflection ef the edge nails.
Always fasten down few boards to ascertain
that the tool is properly adjusted..
