Extension Cords

Using extension cords is not recommended. The use of extension cords will cause voltage to drop resulting in power loss to the motor and overheating.

Instead of using an extension cord, increase the working reach of the air hose by attaching another length of hose to its end. Attach additional lengths of hose as needed.

If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:

a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product

in good condition

no longer than 50 feet

12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 14 OR 16 AWG.)

Voltage and Circuit Protection

Refer to the specification chart for the voltage and minimum branch circuit requirements.

Certain air compressors can be operated on a 15 amp circuit if the following conditions are met.

1.Voltage supply to circuit must comply with the National Electrical Code.

2.Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs.

3.Extension cords comply with specifications.

4.Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp time delay fuse. NOTE: If compressor is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use only time delay fuses. Time delay fuses should be marked "D" in Canada and "T" in the US.

If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the compressor repeatedly causes interruption of the power, it may be necessary to operate it from a 20 amp circuit. It is not necessary to change the cord set.

CFFR350B, CFFC350B specifications

The Porter-Cable CFFR350B and CFFC350B are two remarkable options in the realm of cordless nailers, specifically designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike. Built by a company with a longstanding reputation for producing reliable and efficient power tools, these models reflect the latest technological advancements and user-focused features.

One of the standout features of the CFFR350B is its cordless design. Powered by an efficient 20V MAX lithium-ion battery, it provides the freedom of movement without cumbersome air hoses or gas cartridges. This is invaluable for those working in tight spaces or on ladders, as it allows for easy maneuverability and less fatigue during prolonged use. The CFFC350B similarly benefits from a cordless design, ensuring users can work effectively across a variety of job sites.

Both the CFFR350B and CFFC350B are equipped with a robust motor that delivers consistent firing power, whether users are driving fasteners into softwood or hardwood. The ability to handle a range of fastener sizes enhances versatility, with the CFFR350B capable of accommodating 1-1/4 inch to 3-1/2 inch framing nails, while the CFFC350B specializes in fastening applications, such as flooring and trim.

Another noteworthy feature is the tool-free depth adjustment. This functionality allows users to set the exact depth of the nails for precision work, ensuring that each nail is driven to the desired level without the need for additional tools. Along with this, both models include a tool-free jam release mechanism, which simplifies the process of clearing any nail jams that may occur, minimizing downtime during projects.

Additionally, the CFFR350B and CFFC350B come with an adjustable exhaust that directs air away from the user, keeping the workspace clean and enhancing user comfort. Their lightweight design paired with an ergonomic handle further promotes comfort over extended use, reducing hand fatigue and improving overall handling.

In conclusion, the Porter-Cable CFFR350B and CFFC350B nailers are essential additions to any tool collection. Their combination of cordless convenience, powerful motor performance, user-adjustable features, and thoughtful ergonomics makes them ideal for tackling a wide range of framing and fastening tasks with efficiency and precision.
