FLEX Tri-Glide Foot Adjustment:
Wood varies from one manufacturer to the next. The
different wood profi les may be due to height and
length of the fl ooring tongue and whether or not there
is a nail pocket.
To use the Powernail Flex, adjust the nailer FLEX foot to a sample of your fl ooring (see instructions below).
When the nailer foot is adjusted to your fl ooring, simply place the nailer on the fl oor and pull nailer back so the
locating ears (Figure 3) catch the edge of the fl oor above the tongue. Pull the safety trigger and hit the plunger with
the rubber-capped mallet-end to let the Nailer drive and set the nail at the correct 45 degree angle.
To Load the Powernail Flex:
Place up to one stick (100) of Powercleats® (18 gage) nails, 1" , 1-1/4" , 1-1/2" or 1-3/4" long into the nail channel
feed slot. Pull back the spring loaded nail pusher over the nails until it contacts the last nail and slowly release the nail
pusher.
First, loosen the two hex bolts under the FLEX foot with
the Allen Wrench supplied with the nailer. (Figure. 1.)
Next, set the nailer on a sample of your fl ooring
Use the adjustment lever at the back of the nailer foot to
raise or lower the nailer to the wood.
Match the Adapter Foot Triangles so that it is pointing
into the 90° angle created
by the tongue and the top of the wood (see Figure 2).
For wood with a nail pocket, line up the Triangles at the
top of the nail pocket.
When the adjustment lever is in the correct position
for your wood sample, tighten the two hex bolts to
lock the FLEX foot into place.
Always check your adjustment with a sample to
ensure the nail is driving into the nail pocket.
OPERATION
Adjust so the Triangles
sit slightly above fl ooring tongue
