Bostitch N12B Series User Manual

LOADING THE N12 SERIES NAILER
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 loading, operating or servicing this tool. Eye protection is required to guard against flying fasteners
and debris, which could cause severe eye injury.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection equipment must
conform to the requirements of the American National Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1-1979 and provide
both frontal and side protection. NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do not provide
adequate protection.
1) O pen the magazine.
Pull down door latch and swing door open.
Swing magazine cover open.
2 ) Check adjustment:
The nailer must be set for the length of nail to be used. Nails
will not feed smoothly if the magazine is not correctly adjusted.
The magazine contains an adjustable nail platform on which
the nail coil rests. The nail platform can be moved up and
down to three settings. To change setting pull up on the post
and twist to the correct step.
1-3/4” (45 mm) nails—use bottom step
1-1/4”, 1-1/2” (32, 38 mm)—use middle step
7/8”, 1 ” (22, 25 mm)—use top step
3) Load the coil of nails:
Place the coil of nails over the post in the magazine. Uncoil
enough nails to reach the feed pawl. Place the first nail in front
of the front tooth on the feed pawl, in the driver channel. The
nail heads must be in the slot in the nose.
NOTE: Use only nails recommended by Stanley-Bostitch N12
series nailers or nails which meet the Stanley-Bostitch
specifications.
4) Close the Door and the Magazine Cover:
Swing the door and the magazine cover closed. Check that the
latch pin engages when released and that the magazine cover
is behind the latch. The door and magazine cover may be
closed in any sequence.
