Some tips for beginners from a Home Depot reviewer:

1) Take a scrap piece of hardwood and find a place on your subflooring to try out this unit. This will get you comfortable with using the nailer, and also help you to determine the right pressure setting for your compressor. Too little pressure, the nail won't drive through, too much, and you can split the tongue of the wood piece.
(2) This nailer won't help with the perimeter of the room if the nailer butts up against a wall. You should have a brad nail-gun to go directly through the finished wood surface, then use wood filler to cover the nail head. Do practice nailing with this gun also; you may find you need more or less pressure from the compressor
