Primatech Nailing System
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 the H300 Single-Hit and H330 Multiple-Hits manual nailers and
the P210 pneumatic nailer. 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 allows several strokes
to fully countersink the nail. 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.
 the impact of the mallet holds down the board firmly- the impact
of the mallet forces the boards tightly against each other
- the nail
is countersunk at the perfect location, at 45º
