WARNING

•

•

•

Keep your finger off the trigger except during fastening opera- tion, because serious injury could result if the contact ram accidentally contacts you or others in the work area.

Keep hands and body away from the discharge area. The nailer may bounce from recoil of driving a fastener and unwanted subsequent fastener may be driven, possibly causing injury. Some types of loaded nails can spark out of the muzzle during a driving operation. Exercise caution!

INSTALLING TONGUE AND GROOVE FLOORING

Install the Face Nailing Shoe on the NT50AGF Pneumatic Flooring Nailer (See Shoe Changing Section Page 17).

After squaring the Floor and allowing for expansion as recom- mended 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.

Be careful to tap both the Ram Head of the NT50AGF Pneumatic Flooring Nailer and the Flooring with the Gray Cap on the Hammer. Tapping the Ram Head or tapping the Flooring with the metal end of the Hammer will cause damage to the Nailer or the Flooring.
