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 through branch circuit is 15 amps.

2.Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs (lights, appliances, etc.).

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.

CLFRP350 specifications

The Porter-Cable CLFRP350 is a state-of-the-art cordless finish nailer that stands out due to its robust design and impressive performance capabilities. This tool is engineered specifically for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who value efficiency, convenience, and precision in their woodworking and renovation tasks. One of the primary features of the CLFRP350 is its ability to drive 18-gauge brad nails and 16-gauge finish nails, making it an incredibly versatile option for a range of projects, from trimming and molding to furniture assembly and cabinet construction.

This nailer boasts a lightweight and ergonomic design, allowing for extended use without causing fatigue. Weighing just over four pounds, the CLFRP350 is easy to maneuver, and its balanced weight distribution ensures stability when in use. The tool also features an adjustable depth of drive, which enables users to set the nail depth based on the material they are working with, ensuring a clean and professional finish every time.

One of the hallmark technologies of the Porter-Cable CLFRP350 is its innovative cordless operation powered by a 20V Max lithium-ion battery. This feature eliminates the constraints of cords and hoses, allowing for maximum flexibility when working in various environments. The battery technology ensures longer runtime and faster recharge times, meaning users can spend more time working and less time waiting.

The CLFRP350 is equipped with a tool-free jam release mechanism that simplifies maintenance and ensures uninterrupted workflow. If a nail does jam, users can quickly and easily clear it without the need for additional tools, minimizing downtime and allowing projects to progress smoothly.

In addition, this nailer incorporates a sequential and contact firing mode, giving users the freedom to choose the method that best fits their application needs. This dual firing mode allows for high-speed nailing with the contact option while providing greater control and accuracy with the sequential mode, catering to a variety of finishing tasks.

Safety is another essential focus of the CLFRP350, which features a safety tip that helps prevent accidental firing. The included belt hook also adds convenience, allowing users to keep their hands free while transporting the tool.

In summary, the Porter-Cable CLFRP350 combines innovative technology with practical design to deliver a reliable and efficient nailer suitable for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. Its cordless capabilities, adjustable depth control, and easy maintenance features set it apart as a valuable addition to any toolkit.
