Senco SN65C, SN65, SN60 User Manual

Framing Nailers SN60 SN65 SN65C

Pneunatically driven true round head framing nailers for
manufactured housing, on-site building construction,
and pallet assembly. The SN65C has been designed
for earthquake, hurricane, and tornado-prone areas,
where codes call for common nails.

The SENCO SN60, SN65, and SN65C drive a wide
range of full round head nails for a variety of tool
applications. Excellent balance and power-to-weight
ratio, along with a comfort-grip handle, helps reduce
fatigue and increase productivity. Built to exceed
SENCO’s proven standard of reliability, the SN60,
SN65, and SN65C provide high-quality performance
through our depth-of-drive control which allows the
user to achieve the right countersink. Toenail safety,
no-mar pad, and the angled magazine increase
flexibility for nail placement.

* “Restrictive Trigger” activated tools are
used for applications where precision nail or
staple placement is desired. You must first
depress the safety element where you want to
drive a nail or staple and then pull the trigger.
After each nail or staple is driven, completely
release the trigger and lift the tool off the work
surface.
“Dual Action” activated tools are used for
applications where high-production work is
desired. There are two modes of operation:

1. Bottom Fire Method: This method of
operation is sometimes called bounce firing.
You must keep the trigger pulled while moving
the tool along the work surface with a
bouncing motion, depressing the 
safety element where you want to drive a nail
or staple.

2. Trigger Fire Method: First depress the
safety element where you want to drive a nail
or staple and then pull the trigger.

For instructions on safe use of tools with
either of these activating mechanisms, please
refer to the Operating Instructions or
Customer Satisfaction and Safety Reminder
contained in your tool carton.
