TOOL OPERATION CHECK CONTINUED:

IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER WARNINGS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING FOR SAFE OPERATION

•Use the BOSTITCH pneumatic tool only for the purpose for which it was designed.

•Never use this tool in a manner that could cause a fastener to be directed toward the user or others in the work area.

•Do not use the tool as a hammer.

•Always carry the tool by the handle. Never carry the tool by the air hose.

•Do not alter or modify this tool from the original design or function without approval from BOSTITCH

•Always be aware that misuse and improper handling of this tool can cause injury to yourself and others.

•Never clamp or tape the trigger or contact trip in an actuated position.

•Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose attached.

•Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible WARNING LABEL.

MAINTAININGTHE PNEUMATIC TOOL

When working on air tools, note the warnings in this manual and use extra care evaluating problem tools.

REPLACEMENT PARTS:

BOSTITCH replacement parts are recommended. Do not use modified parts or parts which will not give equivalent performance to the original equipment.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE FOR SEALS:

When repairing a tool, make sure the internal parts are clean and lubricated. Use Parker “O”-LUBE or equivalent on all “O”-rings. Coat each “O”-ring with “O”-LUBE before assembling. Use a small amount of oil on all moving surfaces and pivots. After reassembly add a few drops of BOSTITCH Air Tool Lubricant through the air line fitting before testing.

AIR SUPPLY-PRESSURE AND VOLUME:

Air volume is as important as air pressure. The air volume supplied to the tool may be inadequate because of undersize fittings and hoses, or from the effects of dirt and water in the system. Restricted air flow will prevent the tool from receiving an adequate volume of air, even though the pressure reading is high. The results will be slow operation, misfeeds or reduced driving power. Before evaluating tool problems for these symptoms, trace the air supply from the tool to the supply source for restrictive connectors, swivel fittings, low points containing water and anything else that would prevent full volume flow of air to the tool.

N89C specifications

The Bostitch N89C is a highly regarded pneumatic roofing nailer designed to streamline the roofing process while ensuring maximum efficiency and productivity. As a staple tool in the construction industry, particularly for roofing applications, it is engineered to handle a variety of tasks with precision and ease, making it a favorite among both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.

One of the standout features of the Bostitch N89C is its lightweight design, weighing in at an impressive 4.6 pounds. This reduced weight allows for extended use without excessive fatigue, which is crucial during long working hours on steep roofs. The nailer is constructed with a durable housing that can withstand the rigors of job sites, ensuring longevity and reliable performance.

The N89C operates using a pneumatic system that delivers a powerful and consistent driving force. It is capable of accommodating wire-weld and plastic collated nails ranging from 3/4 inch to 1-3/4 inch in length, offering versatility for various roofing materials, from shingles to plywood. This adaptability makes it an essential tool for contractors who need to switch between different materials and tasks seamlessly.

Equipped with a depth adjustment feature, the Bostitch N89C allows users to control the depth at which nails are driven, ensuring proper fastening without damaging the roofing materials. This precision is vital for maintaining the integrity of roofs and ensuring longevity. An adjustable exhaust port also enhances user comfort by directing air away from the user, reducing the chance of dust and debris being blown back onto the work surface.

The Bostitch N89C's magazine holds up to 100 nails, enabling contractors to work efficiently without frequent reloading. This feature is complemented by a nail lock-out mechanism that prevents dry firing, which can cause damage to the tool and materials. The easy-to-clear jam release lever also ensures that any jams can be resolved quickly, minimizing downtime on the job.

Incorporating advanced technologies like an efficient air consumption design, the Bostitch N89C promotes longer run times and reduced compressor cycling. This innovation not only improves performance but also contributes to cost-effectiveness for contractors who rely on pneumatic tools for their jobs.

In summary, the Bostitch N89C roofing nailer is a powerful, reliable, and easy-to-use tool built for professionals. With its lightweight structure, adjustable features, and durable construction, it offers the performance needed to tackle roofing projects efficiently and effectively, making it an invaluable addition to any contractor's toolkit.
