FASTENER SPECIFICATIONS:
The N89C tools uses wire collated coil nails in lengths of 2" to 3-1/2" (50 - 90mm) with shank diameters of
.099" - .131" (2.5 - 3.3mm)
The N89C-HQ tools uses the same nails as the N89C, but is optimized to accept wire collated 2-1/2" and 3" (63.5mm
and 76.2mm) Hurriquake ® nails with shank diameters of .113" and .131" (2.9mm and 3.3mm)
TOOL AIR FITTING:
This tool uses a free-flow connector plug, 1/4" N.P.T. The minimum inside diameter should be .275" (7mm). The
fitting must be capable of discharging tool air pressure when disconnected from the air supply.
OPERATING PRESSURE:
70 to 120 p.s.i.g. (4.8 to 8.3 kg/cm
performance.
DO NOT EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE.
AIR CONSUMPTION:
The N89C requires 8.23 cubic feet per minute (233 liters per minute) of free air to operate at the rate of 100 nails per
minute, at 80 p.s.i. (5.6 kg/cm 2
For instance, if your fastener usage averages 50 nails per minute, you need 50% of the 8.23 c.f.m. (233 liters per
minute) which is required to operate the tool at 100 nails per minute.

OPERATION

BOSTITCH OFFERS TWO MODES OF OPERATION FOR THIS SERIES TOOL.
SEQUENTIAL TRIP (Gray trigger):
The Sequential Trip requires the operator to hold the tool against the work surface before pulling the trigger. This
makes accurate fastener placement easier, for instance on framing, toe nailing and crating applications.The
Sequential Trip allows exact fastener placement without the possibility of driving a second fastener on recoil, as
described under "Contact Trip". The Sequential Trip Tool has a positive safety advantage because it will not
accidentally drive a second fastener if the tool is contacted against the work – or anything else – while the operator
is holding the trigger pulled.
CONTACT TRIP (Black trigger):
The common operating procedure on "Contact Trip" tools is for the operator to contact the work surface to
actuate the trip mechanism while keeping the trigger pulled, thus driving a fastener each time the work is
contacted. This will allow rapid fastener placement on many jobs, such as sheathing, decking and pallet
assembly. All pneumatic tools are subject to recoil when driving fasteners. The tool may bounce, releasing the
trip, and if unintentionally allowed to re-contact the work surface with the trigger still actuated (finger still holding
trigger pulled) an unwanted second fastener will be driven.
