FLEX Power Roller Foot Adjustment:

Wood varies from one manufacturer to the next. The

diﬀ erent wood proﬁ les may be due to height and

length of the ﬂ ooring tongue and whether or not there

is a staple pocket.

To use the Powernail Flex Power Roller, adjust the

stapler FLEX foot to a sample of your ﬂ ooring (Figure 1).

When the stapler foot is adjusted to your ﬂ ooring, simply

place the stapler on the ﬂ oor and pull stapler back so the

9mm rollers catch the edge of the ﬂ oor above the tongue.

Tap the plunger with the rubber-capped mallet-end to

let the stapler drive and set the staple at the correct 45

degree angle.

To Load the 445FS FLEX Power Roller:

Place up to two sticks (90) of Powerstaples® (15.5

gauge) staples, 2" , 1-3/4" , or 1-1/2" long into the

staple channel feed slot. Pull back the spring loaded

staple pusher over the staples until it contacts the last

staple and slowly release the staple pusher.

To Unload

To remove staples from the Staple Channel, pull the two

round knobs on the Staple Pusher together. This will

clear it from the staple path. Then turn the Stapler over

so the staples slide out of the channel.

First, loosen the two hex bolts under the FLEX foot with

the Allen Wrench supplied with the stapler. (Figure. 1.)

Next, set the stapler on a sample of your ﬂ ooring.

Use the adjustment lever at the back of the stapler foot

to raise or lower the stapler to the wood.

Match the Adapter Foot 9mm rollers so that it is pointing

into the 90° angle created

by the tongue and the top of the wood (see Figure 2).

For wood with a staple pocket, line up the 9mm rollers

at the top of the staple pocket.

When the adjustment lever is in the correct position

for your wood sample, tighten the two hex bolts to

lock the FLEX foot into place.

Always check your adjustment with a sample to

ensure the staple is driving into the staple pocket.
