Before installing any decking boards, check all decking manufacturer requirements, spacing between board

width and length, if you are using wood decking, it may need to have a sealer coat on all surfaces and ends

before installing. 304 stainless steel fasteners are not covered by any warranty for coastal, or ocean projects.

304 can develop brown pitting or a red tarnish in this environment.

Installing Gap Spacer Plates

Install the proper gap plate into the tool base, to achieve your required gap between decking boards. Place the

gap plate at the base of the tool, align the plate recessed edge with the groove in the base. Push in the small

round pin sticking out from the base.

Slide the plate in, and the pin should drop back down by spring pressure. The pin will hold the gap plate in place

while the tool is being used. Push the pin in, and slide the plate out when you wish to change plate gap size.

Loading fasteners

Load fasteners into the end of the tool magazine (max 4 clips of 25pcs).

on one flat side, so fastener strips should be held with the tape side up towards the sky (see picture). If the

fastener strip is held laying flat with the tape facing down, the fastener strip could curl, making it harder to load

into the end of the magazine.

Once fasteners are loaded, then you are ready to engage the spring feed carriage.

Push the small button down on the fastener feed carriage, then pull back on the carriage as it rides over the

fasteners until it reaches the end of the magazine, and release.

Fasteners are now being pushed towards the tool base and driver.

Oil the tool each day before connecting air supply, and again after every 1000 shots (3 to 5 drops).

WARNING!

Tool should be on a work surface when connecting the air supply. Do not hold and depress the base

towards the tool while connected to air supply. Do not point the tool at yourself, anyone else, or anything of

value when air supply is connected. Make sure that there are no people, or valuables under the deck that you

are working on.

Always check air pressure before connecting air supply to the tool, tool has a max operating pressure of 120 psi.

EDGEfast fasteners have collating tape

Installing First Deck board

Make sure your first board is perfectly straight when fastening, and install screws

in the starting edge.

Place a screw at every joist. 300 series stainless screws are recommended.

Placement and Installing of Fasteners

Place the tool gap spacer against the loose

edge of the decking that is your starting board.

Slide the next board up to the other side of the

gap spacer. Now the spacer should be

between the two boards. Pivot the tool down

so that the magazine is parallel over your

starting board. While pulling the loose board

tight to the spacer, push the tool down

towards the base and oncoming board. The

safety is now unlocked, hold board

firmly and pull the trigger. See photo for

holding board and stabilizing the base

with your thumb.

Now pivot the tool up, so that the end

of the magazine is pointing up to the sky. You are now ready to push down

towards the base and the loose edge of the starting board. Now fasten this

edge.

Always pivot the tool to the end of its arch, this will insure that the decking is

install with the best possible angle of the fastener. Make certain that the

base of the tool is setting flat on the decking surface when installing a

fastener. Install a fastener at every joist along the decking edge.

Use of Clamps and Spacing Jigs

Any

clamp can be

used

with

EDGEfast, as seen in photo.

Pipe

clamps

can

used

straighten and hold multiple boards

at once, but make sure that you

place clamps between joist. This will

allow you to drive fasteners in every

joist before removing clamps.

Other spacers or spacing jigs may

be used as well, but again don't

place these jigs over the joist.

Always fasten from one side to the other.

Drive fasteners into the center of the joist whenever possible.

Do not fire the tool more than once in the same location.

Always start with a low air pressure setting and work the psi up

until you get the proper set of the fastener. This will save on air

consumption when you use only the minimum needed.

A properly driven fastener should be flush with the board edge,

or driven slightly into the edge (counter sunk by 1/16"). If the

fastener is sticking out of the board edge when driven, use a

nail-set to finish. Place the nail set on the drive head of the

fastener and strike with a hammer until the correct set is

reached.
