LOADING THE N80CB SERIES COIL NAILER
EYE PROTECTION which conforms to ANSI specifications and provides protec-
tion against flying particles both from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be
worn by the operator and others in the work area when loading, operating or ser-
vicing this tool. Eye protection is required to guard against flying fasteners and
debris, which could cause severe eye injury.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye
protection equipment must conform to the requirements of the American National
Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1-1989 and provide both frontal and side protection.
NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do not provide ade-
quate protection.
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL INJURIES:
• Never place a hand or any other part of the body in nail discharge area of tool
while the air supply is connected.
• Never point the tool at anyone else.
• Never engage in horseplay.
• Never pull the trigger unless nose is directed toward the work.
• Always handle the tool with care.
• Do not pull the trigger or depress the trip mechanism while loading the tool.
1. Open the magazine: pull down down latch and swing door open. Swing magazine cover open.
2. Check adjustment: the nailer must be set for the length of nail to be used. Nails will not feed
smoothly if the magazine is not correctly adjusted.
The N80CB accepts from 1-1/2” to 3-1/4” nails. To change setting:
a) Release the canister latch on the rear of the canister.
b) Pull out canister bottom by swinging right to left until tabs disengage.
c) Inside the canister bracket are settings in inches and millimeters. The canister is adjusted correctly
when the length of the nail being used is shown in the window of the canister bottom.
