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. Fig.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

PLATFORM SETTINGS

1st Step: 2” – 2-1/2” (50 - 65mm) nails

2nd Step: 2-3/4” – 3” (70 - 75mm) nails

3rd Step: 3-1/4” – 3-1/2” (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. Fig. C

NOTE: Use only nails recommended by BOSTITCH for N89C series nailers or nails which meet BOSTITCH specifications.

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.
