Refer to FIGURE 1 and FIGURE 2.

1. Squeeze both of the adjustment buttons on the sides of the Handle (B), and adjust the

Handle (B) to the proper length for your application. Release the adjustment buttons and

lock the Handle (B) into place.

2. Snap off the Protective Cover (E).

3. Turn the Pin Adjustment Knob (D) to the proper length for the carpet you are working with.

The Pin Adjustment Knob (D) has 8 settings. The lower numbers stand for shorter Pin

lengths and the higher numbers stand for longer Pin lengths. Turn the Pin Adjustment Knob

(D) clockwise to decrease Pin length and counterclockwise to increase Pin length.

Note: The Pin length must allow the Pins to pass through the top of the carpet (pile) and

grip into the cloth-like backing. The Pins must not go through the backing into the pad or

they will damage the pad. This tool is not used for stretching carpet; it is only used for

catching the carpet on the tack strips located around the perimeter of the room.

Note: FIGURE 2 shows the Pins fully extended at 3/8”.

4. Position the Carpet Installer next to the tack strips with the pins properly inserted through

the carpet and into the backing. Push your Knee against

the Knee Pad (A) to move the carpet forward onto the tack

strips. Continue along the perimeter of the room.

5. When you are ﬁnished, use the Pin Adjustment

Knob (D) to fully retract the Pins and snap on the

Protective Cover (E). The Protective Cover (E) only

ﬁts on one way. Rotate it until it ﬁts properly.

Operation

1. Keep the Carpet Installer clean. Remove any dirt or

debris from the Pins and Teeth Plates.

2. When the Teeth Plates (11) need replacing, remove

the two cross-head screws that hold the Teeth Plates

(11) in place and install new Teeth Plates (11).

Replace the Bolts (13). See FIGURE 3.

Note: Always verify that the Teeth Plates (11) are

securely fastened before each use.
