specified in Owner’s Manual.

Installing A Fitting

Before using the PORTAMATIC®Nailer, a 3/8” NPT Fitting

must be installed. The PORTAMATIC® Nailer has an adapter

installed to accept a 3/8” NPT fitting. This provides the owner the

advantage of installing the preferred 3/8” NPT Fitting of choice.

(i.e.: Coilhose Pneumatics Type 58 #5801) This allows the freedom

to use any configuration of quick connect 3/8” NPT Fitting. Install

the 3/8” NPT Fitting into the supplied adapter and gently tighten.

IMPORTANT: The bottom hole of the PORTAMATIC®that is

plugged should NEVER be removed. If plug is removed, the

PORTAMATIC®Nailer will not perform correctly and serious

damage may occur.

3/8" NPT FI TING

OF CHOICE

NEVER REMOVE

PLUG!

Loading the Tool

Insert nails into the nail track and pull back the Pusher

Bracket (Ref. No. 59 Pg. 26) to provide pressure against the

nails. IMPORTANT! For proper operation, never use

the PORTAMATIC®Nailer with less than a 2 inch

stack of nails remaining in the nail track.

3. USE ONLY nails from Porta-Nails, Inc. 47. 50163 Ram Head Assembly W/Cap & Screw

4. Air supply hoses should have a minimum working pressure

rating of 150 PSI or 150 percent of the maximum pressure

produced in the power source, whichever is higher. (Ref. 52 & 54)

48. 50477 Face Shoe

5. Check all hoses before connecting to ensure that they are free

7. The PORTAMATIC®pneumatic Nailer requires Clean, Dry

Air. Use In-Line Regulator and Filter. DO NOT USE IN-

LINE OILERS WITH THE PORTAMATIC®.Dust, dirt

and other particles in the system can cause premature wearing

of the major components. Cylinder, piston, and o-rings are

especially sensitive to wear caused by dirt abrasion.

with a minimal stroke from the Hammer.

36. 50198 Piston / Driver Blade & O-Ring Assembly

(Includes 55,56,57,58, & O-Ring) 6. If on the first initial operation a nail does not eject into the

Flooring, repeat Hammer blow. This will ensure that the

Driver Blade/Piston is properly reset to allow the Driver

Blade/Piston (Ref. No. 36 Pg. 26) to be in the correct position

to drive the nail.

37. 50445 Pusher Pivot Pin (Includes 38)

38. 50449 Lock Ring – Pusher Pivot Pin

39. 50140 Safety Stem 7. DO NOT OVERPOWER THE NAILER – A 90lb static

force will fire the Nailer. This is easily achieved by a

minimal stroke of the Hammer. If the Flooring is warped or

bowed, the Ram can be hit firmly to tighten the Flooring. Try

40. 50142 Cover – Safety

41. 50152 Main Valve Assembly & O-Rings

42. 50177 Screw – Face Shoe

to avoid this constant wear, as abusive blows by the hammer

could damage tool.

8. Note: The PORTAMATIC®Nailer will not drive a nail if the

Ram Cap is struck by Hammer and the Safety Trigger is not

depressed.

9. The PORTAMATIC®Nailer is user-friendly and following

these simple instructions, will insure a very high quality

Hardwood Flooring installation.

10. If the nail is not properly seated, increase pressure incrementally

until nail is seated. DO NOT EXCEED 110 PSI!

Nailing Tongue And Groove Flooring

Using the PORTAMATIC® Nailer

1. Install the Face Nailing Shoe on the PORTAMATIC®Nailer

(See Shoe Changing Section Pg. 6 Figure 6).

2. After squaring the Floor and allowing for expansion as

recommended by the Wood Flooring Industry (NWFA, NOFMA

and MFMA), install Felt Vapor Barrier and use chalk line to

identify location of Sub-Floor Nails prior to racking wood to be

nailed. This will help prevent hitting Sub-Floor Nails which can

cause damage to the Driver Blade and Jamming. Place the

grooved edge of the first row of Flooring towards the wall on the

side of the room from which you are starting.

3. Be careful to hit both the Ram Head of the PORTAMATIC®

Nailer and the Flooring with the Gray Cap on the Hammer.

Striking either with the metal end of the Hammer will cause

damage to the Nailer or the Flooring.

4. Depress Safety Trigger, and strike Ram Head of the

PORTAMATIC®Nailer with the Face Nailing Shoe installed.

5. After striking the Ram Head, the actuating cycle of the

PORTAMATIC®Nailer drives one nail into the Flooring.

6. When the nail has been completely driven, the

PORTAMATIC®Nailer will automatically reset, and is ready to

be moved to the next position and drive another nail.

7. Be careful not to drive one nail on top of another. Damage to the

Nailer might result or injury from sparks or a sliver of metal that

might break away if this should occur.
