A fastener driving device includes a housing containing an engine for
driving a fastener through a flooring board and into a sub-floor, a
nosepiece through which fasteners are driven, a magazine for supplying a
plurality of fasteners for the engine to drive, and a shoe mounted for
movement relative to the nosepiece. The shoe locates the engine relative
to the flooring board so that the fastener is driven into the flooring
board at an angle. The shoe includes a bottom workpiece engaging surface
for engaging a top surface of the flooring board, and the nosepiece
includes a forward workpiece engaging surface for engaging a front
surface of the flooring board. The forward surface extends a distance
below the bottom surface. One of the bottom surface and the forward
surface is movable with respect to the other to adjust the distance that
the forward surface extends below the bottom surface.
