FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

FOREWORD

Porter-Cable Model FCP350 is a high pressure heavy duty pneumatic framing nailer. It is designed to install 30 - 34 degree clipped head paper tape collated framing nails .113" - .131" dia. of various lengths from 2" to 31/2" long.

WARNING: Use approved Porter-Cable fasteners only.

POWER SOURCE

This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry, compressed air at regulated pressures between 80 and 150 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch)(5.5 to 10.3 BAR). The preferred system would include a filter, a pressure regulator, and an automatic oiler located as close to the tool as possible, within 15 ft/4.6 m is ideal.

All compressed air contains moisture and other contaminates that are detrimental to internal components of the tool. An air line filter will remove most of these contaminates and significantly prolong the life of the tool. If an in-line oiler is not available: place five or six drops of Porter-Cable Air Tool Oil into the tool’s air inlet at the beginning of each workday.

The tool is equipped with a 3/8" male "quick connector”. A 3/8" supply line (and fittings) are required for maximum tool performance. The tool must always be connected to the air supply with a coupling such that all pressure is removed from the tool when the coupling is disconnected.

DANGER: All air line components (hoses, connectors, filters, regulators, etc.) must have a minimum working pressure rating of at least 300 PSI (20.7 BAR) or 150% of maximum system potential, whichever is greater.

Do not connect tool to pressure which potentially exceeds 200 PSI (13.7 BAR).

Only connect tool to air supply hose with a coupling that automatically removes all pressure from the tool when the coupling is disconnected.

Disconnect tool from air supply before performing maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person.
