DESCRIPTION

OPERATION

TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL INJURIES:

The Model 50M Powernailer® is the latest model designed to 

bring Powernail quality to a manual nailer. The Powernailer® 

Model 50M—designed for use with only 1" , 1-1/4", 1-1/2" and 

1-3/4" (18 gage) Powercleats® nails—provides several distinct 

advantages. 
The Model 50M can nail down 3/8", 1/2", 5/8" and some exotic 

3/4" tongue and groove hardwood fl ooring through the use of 

easy to change, no mar pad and shims. For a superior manual 

Nailer, look to the company that has been the industry’s quality 

leader for over 50 years, POWERNAIL® COMPANY, INC.

To use the Model 50M, simply place the nailer on the fl oor, pull 

nailer back so locating ears catch the edge of the fl oor above 

the tongue, strike the plunger with the rubber capped mallet end 

and let the Nailer drive and set the nail at the correct 45 degree 

angle. Adjust nailer by adding shims between the adapter foot 

and pad until there is a slight gap between the tongue of the 

wood and the locating ears of the adapter foot. See example 1B 

and 2A.

To Load Model 50M

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.

To Unload

To remove nails from the nail channel, pull the two round knobs 

on the nail pusher together. This will clear it from the nail path. 

Then turn the nailer over so the nails slide out of the channel.

Read these instructions carefully before you use the Nailer.
