TOOL AIR FITTING:
This tool uses afree-flow connectorplug, 1/4”N.P.T.The minimum inside diameter should be .275” (7mm).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. (4.8 to 8.3 kg/cm
2
). Select the operating pressure within this range for best fastener
performance.
DO NOT EXCEEDTHE RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE.
AIR CONSUMPTION:
The N89C requires8.23 cubic feetperminute(233litersper minute) offreeair tooperateatthe rate of100nails per
minute,at80p.s.i.(5.6kg/cm

).Taketheactualrateatwhichthetoolwillberuntodeterminetheamountofairrequired.
For instance, if your fastener usage averages 50 nails per minute, you need 50% of the 8.23 c.f.m.(233 liters per
minute) whichis required to operate thetool at 100nails per minute.
OPERATION
BOSTITCH OFFERSTWOMODESOF OPERATION FORTHISSERIESTOOL.
SEQUENTIALTRIP (Gray trigger):
The Sequential Trip requires the operator to hold the tool against the work surface 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 placement 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 asecondfastener if thetooliscontactedagainstthework– or anythingelse –while theoperator
is holding the trigger pulled.
CONTACTTRIP (Black trigger):
The common operating procedure on “Contact Trip” tools is for the operator to contact the work surface 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 ifunintentionallyallowed to re-contact the work surface withthetrigger stillactuated(finger stillholding
trigger pulled) an unwanted second fastener will be driven.
