ADJUSTING FOR HARDWOOD THICKNESS
To fasten 3/4" or 25/32"
flooring, no adjustment to the
tool is required. Use the
standard P-433 plastic base
supplied with the tool.
To fasten 1/2" flooring, install
optional adapter kit P-188. If
necessary, use one or two
shims (supplied) to insure that
the gate/foot do not sit on the
tongue. Insert shims between
main body and plastic base as
shown.
To fasten 33/32" flooring,
remove plastic base as shown.
You may apply the optional
self-adhesive base P-986 to
protect the finished surface of
the flooring.

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
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
When assembling the tool, make sure that all hex cap screws P-005
holding the casing on the base are tight. Inspect these screws
regularly. Do not use any substitute to gasket P-107.
When servicing the tool, do not twist or force any parts. Damage
may result from such abuse. If parts do not come loose easily,
contact your P
When opening the tool for maintenance, always clean all
components of dirt, grit, or particles. Inspect the tool carefully for
broken parts or excessive wear, and replace if necessary. When
ordering parts, be sure to specify the right part number, and also the
tool serial number.

If the tool becomes sluggish, does not set the cleat, it may indicate
excessive dirt in the head of the tool, thereby impeding the cycling
of the valve P-543. This may be caused by dirt, dust or other
particles, or even water in the compressed air. In such case, remove
the six (6) screws P-015 and take the head assembly off the tool.
Remove the valve main screw P-544B with an 3/16" Allen key and
take out both the valve P-543 and the actuator P-542. It is generally
not necessary to remove the head cap P-501. Check all seals and
replace if necessary. Clean the interior and lightly lubricate with non-
detergent oil P-090. Other types of lubricant may degrade the seals.
If care is taken, the gasket P-107 should require only infrequent
replacement.
