LOADING THE N400C, N401C, N512C
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:
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. Fig.A | A |
| |
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. Fig.B |

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. Fig. C
NOTE: Use only nails recommended by BOSTITCH for N400C, N401C, N512C series nailers or nails which meet BOSTITCH specifications.
4.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.)

BEFORE HANDLING OR OPERATING THIS TOOL:
I.READ AND UNDERSTAND THE WARNINGS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL.
II.REFER TO “TOOL SPECIFICATIONS” IN THIS MANUAL TO IDENTIFY THE OPERATING SYSTEM ON YOUR TOOL.
There are two available systems on BOSTITCH pneumatic tools. They are:
1. CONTACT TRIP OPERATION 2. SEQUENTIAL TRIP OPERATION
OPERATION
1.CONTACT TRIP OPERATION:
The CONTACT TRIP MODEL tool contains a contact trip that operates in conjunction with the trigger to drive a fastener. There are two methods of operation to drive fasteners with a contact trip tool.
A. SINGLE FASTENER PLACEMENT: To operate the tool in this manner, first position the contact trip on the work surface, WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER. Depress the contact trip until the nose touches the work surface and then pull the trigger to drive a fastener. Do not press the tool against the work with extra force. Instead, allow the tool to recoil off the work surface to avoid a second unwanted fastener. Remove your finger from the trigger after each operation.
B. RAPID FASTENER OPERATION: To operate the tool in this manner, hold the tool with the contact trip pointing towards but not touching the work surface. Pull the trigger and then tap the contact trip against the work surface using a bouncing motion. Each depression of the contact trip will cause a fastener to be driven.
The operator must not hold the trigger pulled on contact trip tools except during fastening operation, as serious injury could result if the trip accidentally contacted someone or something, causing the tool to cycle.
Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool. A contact trip tool may bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted second fastener may be driven, possibly causing injury.
2.SEQUENTIAL TRIP OPERATION:
The SEQUENTIAL TRIP MODEL contains a contact trip that operates in conjunction with the trigger to drive a fastener. To operate a sequential trip tool, first position the contact trip on the work surface WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER. Depress the contact trip and then pull the trigger to drive a fastener. As long as the contact trip is contacting the work and is held depressed, the tool will drive a fastener each time the trigger is depressed. If the contact trip is allowed to leave the work surface, the sequence described above must be repeated to drive another fastener.
