FASTENER POSITIONING ADJUSTMENT
The fastener posi
ti
on can be adjusted to accommodate 1/4” - 7/16” thicknesses
of
fl
ooring by way of the adjustment knobs located on the posi
ti
oning shoe. The
shoe adjustment feature provides close control of the fastener posi
ti
oning to reduce
occurrence of split tongues or dimples in the
fl
ooring surface.
First set the air pressure for consistent drive in the speci
fi
c work as described on
page 4, then use the shoe adjustment knobs to set the desired posi
ti
on of drive. The
fastener should be posi
ti
oned so that it enters the ver
ti
cal face of the
fl
ooring at the
point where the tongue meets the ver
ti
cal face.
