SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3
When operating this Nailer, the operator and others in the work area should ALWAYS wear approved
SAFETY GLASSES, with front and side eye protection. Eye protection will help guard against fl ying
nails and debris, which could cause severe eye injury.
EAR PROTECTION should be used to prevent hearing damage when there are high noise levels
in the work area. ALWAYS use ear plugs with a noise reduction rated at 29 db or higher at a
construction site.
Nailer noise ratings are at LPA-1sd=90.6,
LWA-1sd=99.3 and LPA-1s,1m=86.3.
Nailer vibration rating: m/s2=3.05.
Always DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY before making any adjustments, repairing, clearing jams or when the
Nailer is not in use. Do not use on scaff olding or ladders and disconnect nailer from air supply when transporting
between installation areas.
Never attach the female end of a quick disconnect to the Nailer. This will trap air inside the Nailer and permit it to
be discharged. Only the unrestricted male connection should be attached to the Nailer.
Nailer requires an air source that can continuously deliver 70 to 110 psi at 3-1/2 cubic feet of air per minute for
operation.
Normal air pressure should not exceed 110 psi or damage to the Nailer and seals may occur. Excess air
pressure can cause the Nailer to explode.
To prevent fi re or explosion, use only regulated compressed air—do not use bottled gases of any kind (no
oxygen or combustible gasses) to power this Nailer.
Nailer is intended for use installing wood fl ooring and is not to be used for purposes not specifi ed in the
operations manual.
Do not use any nails other than Powernail® Powercleats which are 20 gage L-cleat nails specifi cally designed
for use in any 20 gage Powernailer. Powercleat nails are available in lengths of 1” and 1-1/4”. Contact your
Powernail Dealer for the correct Powercleats for the Model 2000TN.
Use only Powernail replacement parts in the repair or maintenance of this nailer. Parts or repair services are
available from the manufacturer or from agents authorized by the manufacturer. Repairs should be carried out
only by trained service personel in the fi eld of fastener driving tools who will observe proper safety controls while
performing maintenance. Service personel should be qualifi ed to assess the safe working condition of fastener
driving tools.
Always make sure Nailer is empty of nails before connecting air hose, so as to prevent any accidental discharge
from occurring. ONLY CONNECT AIR TO AN UNLOADED NAILER.
Do not depress the trigger when loading. If the fasteners are jammed, disconnect the tool from the air supply
before you remove the jammed nails.
Never place any part of the body in the discharge path of the Nailer when air is connected to the
Nailer. Never point the tool at yourself or others, even if the tool is not loaded. For safety, keep out of
reach of children. Never leave the Nailer unattended while it is connected to an air supply.
Do not fi re into hard materials or attempt to use on hard or brittle material such as concrete, steel
or tile. Before using this tool, carefully check that all parts are working correctly. Do not use the tool if it is not
operating correctly, check for causes and adjust as necessary for proper operation. When not in use, the tool
should be cleaned, fully assembled and then stored in a dry location. This will extend the life of the tool and
reduce any oxidation.

To use the Model 2000TN, simply place
the silver foot of the nailer against the
fl ooring you wish to nail so that the safety
mechanism is engaged. Gently squeeze
