OPERATION
WARNING! Always handle the tool with care:
1) Never engage in horseplay; 2) Never pull
the trigger unless nose is directed toward the
work; 3) Keep others a safe distance from the
tool while tool is in operation as accidental
actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
WARNING! The operator must not hold the
trigger pulled on contact arm tools except
during fastening operation as serious injury could
result if the trip accidentally contacted someone
or something, causing the tool to cycle.
WARNING! Keep hands and body away from
the discharge area of the tool. A contact arm
tool may bounce from the recoil of driving a
fastener and an unwanted second fastener
may be driven, possibly causing injury.
WARNING! Check operation of the contact arm
mechanism frequently. Do not use the tool if
the arm is not working correctly as accidental
driving of a fastener may result. Do not interfere
with the proper operation of the contact arm
mechanism.

Contact Trip
WARNING! Do not drive fasteners on top of
other fasteners or with the tool at an overly
steep angle as this may cause deflection of
fasteners which could cause injury.
WARNING! Do not drive fasteners close to the
edge of the work piece as the wood may split,
allowing the fastener to be deflected, possibly
causing injury.
WARNING! This nailer produces SPARKS
during operation. NEVER use the nailer near
flammable substances, gases or vapors
including lacquer, paint, benzene, thinner,
gasoline, adhesives, mastics, glues or any
other material that is -- or the vapors, fumes
or by products of which are -- flammable,
combustible or explosive. Using the nailer
in any such environment could cause an
EXPLOSION resulting in personal injury or death
to user and bystanders.
WARNING! Never use rafter hook to hang tool
from body, clothing or belt.
MAINTAINING THE TOOL

warnings in this manual and use extra care
when evaluating problem tools.

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
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 8.23 c.f.m. (233 liters
per minute) which is required to operate the tool at 100
nails per minute.
