OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FOREWORD

Porter-Cable Model BN200A is a heavy duty pneumatic brad nailer. It is designed to install 18 ga. brad nails of various lengths (from 3/4" to 2" long), see ACCESSORIES Listing in back of this manual.

CAUTION: Use approved Porter-Cable brad nails only (see ACCES- SORIES Listing in back of this manual).

POWER SOURCE

This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry, compressed air at regulated pressures between 70 and 120 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch). The preferred system would include a filter, a pressure regulator, and an automatic oiler located as close to the tool as possible (within 15 feet 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 (see ACCESSORIES), into the tool’s air inlet at the beginning of each workday.

The tool is equipped with a male “quick connector”. 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.

CAUTION: All air line components (hoses, connectors, filters, regulators, etc.) must have a minimum working pressure rating of 150 PSI (10.3 BAR) or 150% of maximum system potential, whichever is higher.

Do not connect this tool to a system with maximum potential pressure greater than 200 PSI, (13.7 BAR).

Only connect tool to air supply with a coupling that will release all pressure from the tool when 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.
