Model W1783 (Mfg. Since 2/07)

-8-

DO  NOT  place  your  hands  near  the 
nail point of entry. A nail can deflect 
and tear through the surface of the 
workpiece, puncturing your hand or 
fingers.

NOTICE

DO NOT use the nailer to position the 
flooring  strip.  Doing  so  will  damage 
the  nailer  and  possibly  the  flooring 
strip.

 

Note: 

If you are using pre-finished 

flooring material, test the nailer on a 
sample strip. If the nailer base plate 
is damaging or marring the flooring 
surface, replace it with a new one.

4.

  Place the nailer on the flooring strip, 

as shown in 

Figure 3

.

5.

  Make sure the cleat on the nailer 

base plate is lined up with the edge 
of the groove on the flooring strip.

6.

  Using the 

rubber

 end of the included 

hammer, hit the whack cap of the 
nailer 

ONCE 

with a light to medium 

force to shoot a nail into the wood.

Never hit the whack cap of the nailer 
multiple  times  to  drive  the  nail 
into  the  wood.  If  necessary,  use  a 
hammer and nail punch to drive the 
nail in. Failure to heed this warning 
could cause a nail jam or a ricochet, 
and serious personal injury.

7.

  Check the nail for satisfactory 

penetration.

—  If the nail depth is satisfactory, 

proceed with your project.

—  If the nail depth is too shallow, 

slightly increase the air pressure.

—  If the nail depth is too deep, 

slightly decrease the air pressure.

 

Note: 

Nailing penetration is not 

always consistent due to variations in 
the flooring material. If necessary, 
use a hammer and nail punch to 
finish seating the nail.

Clearing Jammed Nails

A jammed nail must be cleared before 
using the nailer again. 

To  clear  a  jammed  nail  from  the  dis-
charge area, do these steps:

1.

  DISCONNECT NAILER FROM THE AIR 

SUPPLY!

 

2.

  Pull the magazine pusher all the way 

back and remove the nail stick.
