| The Primatech nailing system is a complete
solution for hardwood flooring installation. It uses the standard L-type
& T-type nails, the recommended fasteners by the National Wood Flooring
Association (NWFA), the Maple Flooring Manufacturers Association (MFMA) and
the National Oak Flooring Manufacturers Association (NOFMA).
With Primatech nailing system, the installer is working
standing up, with a better view of his work and a better posture resulting
in less fatigue and improved productivity. One hand is holding the manual
or power assisted nailer and the other using the mallet as an extension of
his arm to move and position the boards.
| While standing up, one hand is manipulating the mallet (supplied with
the tool), using it as an extension of the arm to move and position the board
to be nailed. The non-marking rubber end of the mallet can be safely used
to force the boards in place without damaging them. Used in this fashion,
the installer avoids to have to kneel down to prepare or hold the boards
for nailing. |

The steel end of the mallet is shaped to allow tapping on the tongue
or the bottom of the boards. It is useful to tighten the boards
longitudinally. |
| Primatech offers a full line of manual and pneumatic nailers. They
all feature aluminum construction for lightweight, quick-loading magazine,
plastic base to prevent scratching and ergonomical design for comfort.
Manual nailers use a 3.5 lbs mallet to countersink the nails. Maximum force
is used to force the board in place and countersink the nail. The H330
manual nailer allows to fully countersink the nail in several strokes. It integrates a unique
feed and guide assembly which provide support to the cleat, both front and
back, during operation, preventing bending and jamming.
Pneumatic nailers requires the impact of a medium weight mallet (2.4 lbs)
to be actuated. Although a much lighter impact is usually required,
maximum force could be used to force in place a board if necessary. This
impact is what tighten the boards firmly together, something that a trigger
actuated tool could not achieve. This way of tightening is much more efficient
and consistent than trying to force them in place by hand. |
