ADJUSTINGFOR HARDWOOD THICKNESS

TheQ900Apneumatictoolisfitted withacam

operated height adjustment base.

Adjusting the basefor flooring thickness:

•Using the supplied Allen wrench,loosen butdo not

removescrews (A); one on eachside of the tool.

•Withthe toolinan upsidedownposition,placea

shortpieceofflooring against the gate/foot

assembly(nail ejection area).

•Engage the Allen wrenchintothe opening ofthe

cam(B).The camhasarotation range ofless the

halfaturn.Do notapplyforcewhen alimitis

reached.

•Adjust the heightofthe basetoobtainasmall gap

between the nail efection area and the top side of

thetongue ofthe sampleboard.Agap of1/32"

shouldbe adequatefor most situations.

•Tighten bothscrews (A).

After completing the adjustmentprocedure,proceed

withthe installation of fewboards.

If the nail issettoo deep or the tongue isseverely

fractured,raisethe nail ejection area bylowering the

baseasdescribed above.If the nail isnotfullyset,

lower the nail ejection area byraising the base.

Check occasionallytoinsure thatall parts are secured

inplace.Toolmayloseadjustmentover timeifthis

procedure is not strictlyfollowed.

After adjusting the tool, fasten downfew

boards toascertainthat the toolis properly

adjusted.

CONNECTION&AIRSUPPLY

Thistoolrequiresclean&dryair.Theuseofafilterand

apressure regulator is recommended.

Useadetachablemalecoupler with3/8"NPTmale

treads. The useofa3/8"(1 cm)diameter airsupply

hoseisrecommended.Asmallerhoseorahoselonger

than 50'(15 m)couldcauseapressure drop when the

toolis activated repeatedly.

Always useafree-flowconnection for the

compressed airsupplytoprevent that the

toolstays charged after disconnecting the air

supplyhose.

Unload toolbefore connecting airtoprevent

accidentaldischarge.

Toprevent injuryor accidentaldamage tothe

finished surfaceof the installed floor, rest the

toolontothe subflooring when connecting air,

moving tooltoadifferent work area, loading

the toolor performing anymaintenancetothe

tool.

Dirt, dust, and other particlesinthe airsupplycan

causesluggishoperation or premature wear.Drain

water fromthe compressor tankregularly.The

compressorstart-stoplimitsshouldbesettodeliverthe

operating airpressure atall times. Consultthe

compressormanualor dealerforinstructionson howto

makethis adjustment.

At 80 psi(5.5bar) and 40 hits per minute,thistool

consumesapproximately1.5cu.ft (44 R)ofairper

minuteat70EF(21EC).Higher airpressure will

increasethe consumption of compressed air.

Thistoolisdesignedtobe operated withacompressed

airpressure of100 to110 psi(7.0-7.6bar).Air

pressure of100psi(7.0bar) isadequatefor most

situations, although occasionally,ahigher pressure

couldbe necessary.Never notuseacompressed air

pressure higher than 110 psi(7.6bar).

LOADING THE TOOL
