FASTENER SPECIFICA
TIONS:
TOOL
AIR FITTING:
This tool uses a 1/4” N.P.T. male plug. The inside diameter should be .200” (5mm) o larger. The fitting must
be capable of discharging tool air pressure when disconnected from the air supply.
OPERATING PRESSURE:
70 to 120 p.s.i.g. (4.9 to 8.4 kg/cm
2
). Select the operating pressure within this range for best fastener
performance. DO NOT EXCEED THIS RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE.
AIR CONSUMPTION:
Model N52FN requires 4.0 cubic feet per minute and Model N62FN requires 5.3 cubic feet per minute of free
air to operate at the rate of 60 fasteners per minute, at 80 p.s.i.g. To calculate the actual rate at which the
tool will be run to determine the amount of air required, for example; if your usage averages 30 fasteners per
minute, you need 50% of the 4.0 c.f.m. or 5.3 c.f.m. which is required for running at 60 fasteners per minute.
OPERATION
BOSTITCH OFFERS THREE TYPES OF OPERATION FOR THIS SERIES TOOL.
CONTACT TRIP
The common operating procedure on “Contact Trip” tools is for the operator to contact the work to actuate
the trip mechanism while keeping the trigger pulled, thus driving a fastener each time the work is contacted.
This will allow rapid fastener placement on many jobs, such as sheathing, decking and pallet assembly. All
pneumatic tools are subject to recoil when driving fasteners. The tool may bounce, releasing the trip, and if
unintentionally allowed to recontact the work surface with the trigger still actuated (finger still holding trigger
pulled) an unwanted second fastener will be driven.
SEQUENTIAL TRIP
The Sequential Trip requires the operator to hold the tool against the work before pulling the trigger. This
makes accurate fastener placement easier, for instance on framing, toe nailing and crating applications. The
Sequential Trip allows exact fastener location without the possibility of driving a second fastener on recoil, as
described under “Contact Trip”. The Sequential Trip Tool has a positive safety advantage because it will not
accidentally drive a fastener if the tool is contacted against the work – or anything else – while the operator is
holding the trigger pulled.
TRIGGER OPERA
TED
The Trigger Operated model is cycled by actuation of the trigger ONLY. This model does not have a Contact
Arm and is intended for use only where a Contact Arm CANNOT be used to satisfy the requirements of the
application.The Trigger Operated tool will cycle each time the trigger is actuated.
