ACTUATION
N88RH-2MCN Sequential Trip 19-7/8" (505mm) 14-3/4" (375mm) 4-7/8" (124mm) 8.2lb. (3.7kg.)
FASTENER SPECIFICATIONS:
N88RH-2MCN (with standard framing contact arm installed):
Uses a 21° plastic collated full round head stick nails, in lengths of 2" to 3-1/2" (50-90mm) and shank
diameters of .113" to .162" (2.8 - 4.1mm)
N88RH-2MCN (with metal connector attachment installed):
Uses a 21° plastic collated full round head metal connector nails, in lengths of 1 1/2" and 2-1/2" (38 - 64mm)
and shank diameters of .131", .148" and .162".
Use only one stick of metal connector nails at a time.
TOOL AIR FITTING:
This tool uses a 1/4" N.P.T. male plug. The inside diameter should be .275" (7mm) or larger. 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. (4.9 to 8.4 kg/cm2). Select the operating pressure within this range for best fastener
performance. DO NOT EXCEED THIS RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE.
AIR CONSUMPTION:
The N88RH-2MCN requires 7.5 cubic feet per minute (212 liters per minute) of free air to operate at the rate
of 100 nails per minute, at 80 p.s.i. (5.6 kg/cm2). 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 7.5 c.f.m. (212 liters per minute) which is required to operate the tool at 100 nails per minute.
OPERATION
SEQUENTIAL TRIP
The Sequential Trip requires the operator to hold the tool against the work 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 location 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 fastener if the tool is contacted against the work – or anything else – while the operator
is holding the trigger pulled.
