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 and provide both frontal and side protection. NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do not provide adequate protection.

Additional Safety Protection will be required in some environments. For example, the working area may include exposure to noise level which can lead to hearing damage. The employer and user must ensure that any necessary hearing protection is provided and used by the operator and others in the work area. Some environments will require the use of head protection equipment. When required, the employer and user must ensure that head protection conforming to ANSI Z89.1 is used.

AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS

Do not use oxygen, combustible gases, or bottled gases as a power source for this tool as tool may explode, possibly causing injury.

never connect to a supply which can exceed 200 psi as tool may burst, possibly causing injury.

The connector on the tool must not hold pressure when air supply is disconnected. If a wrong fitting is used, the tool can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a fastener even after the air line is disconnected possibly causing injury.

Do not pull trigger or depress contact arm while connected to the air supply as the tool may cycle, possibly causing injury.

Always disconnect air supply: 1.) Before making adjustments; 2.) When servicing the tool; 3.) When clearing a jam; 4.) When tool is not in use; 5.) When moving to a different work area, as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.

TRIGGER

Keep fingers AWAY from the trigger when not driving fasteners to avoid accidental actuation. Never carry a tool with finger on the trigger. In bump action mode (contact actuation mode), the tool will drive a fastener if the contact trip is bumped while the trigger is depressed.

The BRN175 is equipped with a selectable trigger.This trigger allows the operator to select either single sequential action trigger mode or bump action trigger mode. In accordance with the ANSI Standard SNT-101-2002, the trigger is assembled in the single sequential action trigger mode. To change the trigger mode, see Actuating Tool instructions in the Operation section of the manual. The selectable trigger also has a trigger lock button to keep the trigger locked at all times when the tool is not in use.

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. A 3/8" (9.5 mm) male quick connector coupling is available from BOSTITCH and may be used when a 1/4" (6.4 mm) supply line is not available.

NOTE: A 3/8" (9.5 mm) supply line (and fittings) are required for maximum tool performance.

Always use couplings that relieve all pressure from the tool when it is disconnected from the power supply. Always use hose connectors that shut off air supply from compressor when the tool is disconnected.

ACTUATING TOOL:
		To reduce the risk of injury, ALWAYS
wear proper eye ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3)				S
and hearing protection ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) when
operating this tool. The tool can be actuated using
one of two modes: single sequential actuation
trigger mode and contact actuation trigger mode.				Trigger mode selector button
Single Sequential actuation trigger -			(Fig. 7)

Allow the tool to recoil off the work surface after actuation. If the contact trip remains depressed a nail will be driven each time the trigger is released and pulled, which could result in accidental actuation, possibly causing injury.

The sequential actuation trigger’s intended use is for intermittent fastening where accurate fastener placement is desired.

To operate the tool in Single sequential actuation mode:

1.Depress the contact trip firmly against the work surface.

2.Pull the trigger.

3.Allow the tool to recoil from the work surface.

Contact actuation trigger - (Fig. 8)

C

Trigger mode selector button

The contact actuation trigger is intended for rapid fastening on flat, stationary surfaces.

Using the contact actuation trigger, two methods are available: place actuation and contact actuation.

To operate the tool using the PLACE ACTUATION method:

1.Depress the contact trip against the work surface.

2.Pull the trigger to drive the fastener.

3.Allow the tool to recoil off the work surface

To operate the tool using the CONTACT ACTUATION method:

1.Pull the trigger.

2.Depress the contact trip against the work surface. As long as the trigger is pulled, the tool will drive a fastener every time the contact trip is depressed. This allows the user to rapidly drive multiple fastener in sequence.

4.Then push the trigger lock button back up to the un-locked position.

ADJUSTING DEPTH (FIG. 9):

To reduce risk of serious injury from accidental actuation when attempting to adjust depth, ALWAYS:

•Disconnect air supply and engage trigger lock.

•Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments.

The depth that the fastener is driven can be adjusted using the depth adjustment next to the trigger of the tool. The depth of drive Fig. 10

is factory adjusted to a nominal setting. Test drive a fastener and check depth. If a change is desired:

1.To drive the nail shallower, rotate the depth setting wheel (G) to the right.

	2. To drive a nail deeper, rotate the depth setting	A
	wheel (G) to the left.

The adjustment knob has detents every 1/4 turn. Test drive another fastener and check depth.

Repeat as necessary to achieve desired results. The amount of air pressure required will vary depending on the size of the fastener and the material being fastened. Experiment with the air pressure setting to determine the lowest setting that will consistently perform the job at hand. Air pressure in excess of that required can cause premature wear and/or damage to the tool.
