INTRODUCTION The Bostitch N66C is a precision-built tool, designed for high speed, high volume fastening. These tools will deliver efficient, dependable service when used correctly and with care. As with any fine tool, for best performance the manufacturer’s instructions must be followed. Please study this manual before operating the tool and understand the safety warnings and cautions.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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.
DO NOT EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE. AIR CONSUMPTION: The N66C requires 3.3 cubic feet per minute (.093 m ) of free air to operate at the rate of 100 nails per minute, at 80 p.s.i. (5.62 kg/cm ). Take the actual rate at which the tool will be run to determine the amount of air required. For instance, if your fastener usage averages 50 nails per minute, you need 50% of the tool’s c.f.m.
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best performance. Oil added through the air line connection will lubricate the internal parts. Use BOSTITCH Air Tool Lubricant, Mobil Velocite #10, or equivalent. Do not use detergent oil or additives as these lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool performance and frequent tool maintenance.
The nail heads must be in the slot in the nose. Fig. C and Fig. D NOTE: Use only nails recommended by Bostitch for N66C series nailers or nails which meet Bostitch specifications. 4. Swing cover closed: To aid in the feeding of plastic collated nails the tab on the cover should be repositioned.
MANUAL OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING FOR SAFE OPERATION • Use the BOSTITCH pneumatic tool only for the purpose for which it was designed. • Never use this tool in a manner that could cause a fastener to be directed toward the user or others in the work area.
