INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED
LUBRICATION CONTINUED
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
For cold weather operation near and below freezing,
the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool
operation. We recommend the use of BOSTITCH winter
formula air tool lubricant (included) or permanent
antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather lubricant.
CAUTION: Do not store tools in a cold weather
environment in order to prevent frost or ice
formation on the tool's operating valves and
mechanisms that could cause tool failure.
NOTE: Some commercial air line drying liquids
are harmful to O-rings and seals – do not
use these low temperature air dryers without
checking compatibility.
LOADING
CAUTION: EYE PROTECTION which conforms to
ANSI specifications and provides protection
against flying particles both from the FRONT
and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the
operator and others in the work area when
connecting to air supply, loading, operating
or servicing 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 and provide both frontal and side
protection.
NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and
face shields alone do not provide adequate
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
at 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 canister:
Pull down
door latch and swing door/
canister cover outward.
(See Figure 1)
2.
Check Adjustment:
The nailer
must be set for the length of
nail to be used. Nails will not
feed smoothly if the canister
is not correctly adjusted. The
canister contains an adjustable
nail platform on which the nail
coil rests. The nail platform can
be moved up and down to four
nail settings. To change setting
pull up on the post and twist to
the correct step. (See Figure 2)
PLATFORM SETTINGS
• 1st Step:
2" – 2½" (50 - 65mm) nails
• 2nd Step:
2¾" – 3" (70 - 75mm) nails
• 3rd Step:
3¼" – 3½" (80 - 90mm) nails
3.
Load the coil of nails:
Place
the coil of nails over the post
in the canister. Uncoil enough
nails to reach the feed pawl.
Place the first nail in front of the
front tooth on the feed pawl
in the driver channel. The nail
heads must be in the slot in the
nose. (See Figure 3)
NOTE: Use only nails recommended by
BOSTITCH for N89C series nailers or nails which
meet BOSTITCH specifications.

Swing cover closed.
5.
Close the door:
Check that latch engages.
(If it does not engage, check that the nail heads
are in the slot on the nose.)
FASTENER DEPTH CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
The Fastener Depth Control Adjustment feature on this
tool provides control of the nail drive depth from flush
with or just above the work surface to shallow or deep
countersink.
