Technical Specifications

AIR SUPPLY:
The air must be clean and dry. Dirty and/or wet air
will damage the Nailer. A combination fi lter-regulator-
lubricator is required for proper Nailer performance and
should be placed close to the Nailer per manufacturers’
recommendations.
Drywall Dust:
• Using Pneumatic Powernailers in drywall dust
conditions will dramatically decrease the life of the
Nailer.
• Drywall dust is abrasive, when cycled through the
Nailer it will cause excessive wear.
Fill the lubricator with a high-quality Air Tool Oil. Adjust the
lubricator to the manufacturers’ recommendations. Do not
over oil the Nailer, as excess oil will be discharged with
the spent air and could stain the wood fl ooring, walls or
furnishings. We will not be responsible for oil stains.
WARNING
Detergent oil is not recommended
and may damage the seals. Consult the fi lter regulator
lubricator manufacturer’s recommendations for proper
operation, settings and unit maintenance.
The air source must continuously deliver 100 to 120 psi
and 3-1/2 cubic feet of air per minute to operate the Nailer
Connect a 1/4” minimum internal diameter and clean air
hose to the Nailer. Be sure the air regulator is set at 90 psi.
If the nail is not countersunk below the surface of the wood,
turn up the air pressure, but not over 120 psi.
Check for air supply leaks that waste air and starve the
Nailer of air thereby reducing its performance. There should
be no orifi ce smaller than 1/4” in the air path between the
Regulator and the Nailer.
LUBRICATION:
If you do not use an in line lubricator, you must lubricate the
Nailer manually. The frequency of lubrication is dependent
upon the duty cycle of the Nailer. Continuous duty requires
more frequent oiling than intermittent duty.
At least every eight (8) hours place two to four drops of Air
Tool Oil, supplied with your Nailer, into the disconnected air
line male connector attached to the Nailer.
WARNING
Do not over lubricate the Nailer,
excess oil mist or drops will be vented with spent air when
over lubricated. Excess oil could stain the wood fl ooring,
walls or furnishings. Dry fi re the Nailer, without nails, to
purge excess oil, before you begin to nail down fl ooring.
We will not be responsible for oil stains. Before storing
the Nailer, lubricate and cycle the Nailer in insure internal
parts are oil protected from corrosion.
TO LOAD MODEL 445 XLL, LL or SL:
Place up to two sticks (200 Powercleats) 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 LOAD MODEL 445 XLS, LS or SS:
Place one stick (100 Powercleats) into the Nail Channel
feed slot.
TO LOAD MODEL 445 SN:
Place 1/2 stick (50 Powercleats) into the Nail Channel
feed slot.
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.
WARNING
Do not use any nails other than
Powernail Powercleats Nails, which are specifi cally
designed for use in any Powernailer. Powercleats Nails
are available in various lengths to accommodate any
fl ooring thickness. Contact your Powernail Dealer for
Powercleats Nails.
PARTS & SERVICE:
When ordering parts include the part number, part
description, Powernailer model and serial number. Be
sure to state the quantity of the part(s) required. Contact
your Powernail Dealer for the necessary parts.
WARNING
Never work on the Nailer if the air
line is attached. Always disconnect the air line from the
Nailer fi rst.
NAILER DISASSEMBLY:
TO REPLACE RUBBER BUMPER (#20 or #65):
1. Disconnect the air supply
2. Remove the four (4) cap screws holding the Adapter
Foot, Foot and Nail Channel assembly to the main Body
(see illustration).
3. Pull the Rubber Bumper out of the cylinder bore.
Replace the old Bumper if it shows signs of wear or it is
split.
4. Reverse these steps to reassemble the Nailer. Be
sure to align the Driving Blade with the slot in the Nail
Channel Assembly while you reassemble the Nailer
NEVER FIRE THE NAILER WITHOUT THE RUBBER
BUMPER INSTALLED, IT WILL SEVERELY DAMAGE
THE NAILER.
