NOTE: Test the driving depth using a scrap piece of
wood before working on the workpiece. If the fasteners
are being driven too deep or not deeply enough, adjust
the spacer wheel in order to provide more or less air
pressure, as required.
DANGER!
Potential hazard that will result in serious injury or
loss of life.
• Do not operate the tool if the fasteners are not loaded,
doing so may damage the tool.
• Do not fire fasteners into the air, doing so may cause
injury to the operators or others, apart from damaging
the tool.
• Load the correct type of fasteners only, do not load
different sized fasteners into the magazine, doing so
may cause fasteners to jam. Failure to comply will lead
to serious injury or loss of life.
• The nailer releases one fastener with each hit, so hitting
the whack cap twice will project a second fastener onto
the first one which could cause a potential ricochet
hazard.
• Ensure that the hammer exerts sufficient amount of
force on the nailer. If the force is too low, the fastener
will not be inserted completely onto the flooring. For
nails that are not completely inserted, use a hammer to
pull out the nails or knock the nails in with a nail setter.
Do not attempt to drive a fastener into the same
location twice.
6. Using the hex key (J), hold the nailer upside
down and remove the three screws from the
base plate by turning counter clockwise.
Attach the desired plate (See Fig. F). Ensure
the screw holes on the base plate line up
with the holes at the nailer base (C). Tighten
the screws by turning clockwise (See Fig. F).
Make sure screws do not protrude out of
the base plate.
INSERTION METHODS
The MAXIMUM®Air-powered 2-in-1 Flooring Nailer drives nails and staples,
which are to be inserted using different insertion methods.
5. Hold the handle, and lift the Air-powered
2-in-1 Flooring Nailer into place. Swing
the mallet and strike the top end of the
“whack cap” with the rubber face of the
mallet (Fig. E).
• Disconnect the tool from the air supply line.
• Remove the fasteners that are stored in the tool’s magazine.

call 1-888-670-6682.
WARNING!
Potential hazard that could result in serious injury or
loss of life.
• Disconnect the magazine from the tool and remove the
non-jammed fasteners from the tool before clearing a
jammed fastener. The fasteners are under pressure and
failure to comply will cause them to be fired out of the
tool causing serious injury.
• Do not point the tool towards the operator or other
people. Serious personal injury could result if these
instructions are not followed.
CAUTION!
Potential hazard that may result in injury or damage
to equipment.
• Operate the tool with the utmost care when connected
