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.
EAR PROTECTION may be required in some environments. As the working area may include exposure
to high noise levels which can lead to hearing damage, the employer and user should ensure that any
necessary hearing protection is provided and used by the operator and others in the work area.
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.
Do not use supply sources which can potentially exceed 200 P.S.I.G. 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 the trigger or depress the contact trip while connecting the tool 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.
LOADING TOOL
When loading tool: 1.) Never place a hand or any part of body in fastener discharge area of tool; 2.) Never
point tool at anyone; 3.) Do not pull the trigger or depress the trip as accidental actuation may occur,
possibly causing injury.
OPERATION
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 other persons a safe distance from the tool while tool is in opera¬
tion as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
The operator must not hold the trigger pulled on contact trip tools except during fastening operation
as serious injury could result if the trip accidentally contacted someone or something, causing the tool
to cycle.
Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool. A contact trip tool may bounce from
the recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted second fastener may be driven, possibly causing injury.
Check operation of the contact trip mechanism frequently. Do not use the tool if the trip is not working
correctly as accidental driving of a fastener may result. Do not interfere with the proper operation of
the contact trip mechanism.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners as this may cause deflection of fasteners which could
cause injury.
MAINTAINING THE TOOL
When working on air tools note the warnings in this manual and use extra care when evaluating problem
tools.

TOOL SPECIFICATIONS
All screws and nuts are metric.
TOOL AIR FITTING:
This tool uses a 1/4 N.P.T. male plug. The inside diameter should be .200” (5mm) or larger. The fitting must be capable
of discharging tool air pressure when disconnected from the air supply.
OPERATING PRESSURE:
70 to 100 p.s.i.g. (4.9 to 7.0 kg/cm 2 ). Select the operating pressure within this range for best fastener performance
DO NOT EXCEED THIS RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE.
AIR CONSUMPTION:
Model N12B require 3.8 cubic feet per minute (c.f.m.) of free air to operate at the rate of 100 nails per minute, at 80
p.s.i.g. Take the actual rate at which the tool will be run to determine the amount of air required. For instance, if your
nail usage average is 50 nails per minute, you need 50% of the 3.8 c.f.m. which is required for running at 100 nails
per minute.
STANLEY-BOSTITCH OFFERS TWO TYPES OF OPERATION FOR THIS SERIES TOOL
CONTACT TRIP SEQUENTIAL TRIP
The common operating procedure on “Contact Trip” tools The Sequential Trip requires the operator to hold the tool
is for the operator to contact the work to actuate the trip against the work before pulling the trigger. This makes
mechanism while keeping the trigger pulled, thus driving accurate fastener placement easier, for instance on fram-
a fastener each time the work is contacted. This will allow ing, toe nailing and crating applications,
rapid fastener placement on many jobs, such as sheathing. The Sequential Trip allows exact fastener location without
ec ing and pallet assembly. the possibility of driving a second fastener on recoil, as

to use this tool.

AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
AWARNING:
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases, or bottled gases as a power source for this tool as tool may
explode, possibly causing injury.
FITTINGS:
Install a male plug on the tool which is free flowing and which will release air pressure from the tool when disconnected
from the supply source.
HOSES:
Air hoses should have a minimum of 150 p.s.i. (10.5 kg/cm 2 ) working pressure rating or 150 percent of the maximum
pressure that could be produced in the air system, which ever is higher. The supply hose should contain a fitting that
will provide “quick disconnecting" from the male plug on the tool.
SUPPLY SOURCE:
Use only clean regulated compressed air as a power source for this tool. NEVER USE OXYGEN, COMBUSTIBLE GASES,
OR BOTTLED GASES, AS A POWER SOURCE FOR THIS TOOL AS TOOL MAY EXPLODE.
REGULATOR:
A pressure regulator with an operating pressure of 0 -125 p.s.i. is required to control the operating pressure for safe
operation of this tool. Do not connect this tool to air pressure which can potentially exceed 200 p.s.i. as tool may
fracture or burst, possibly causing injury.
OPERATING PRESSURE:
Do not exceed recommended maximum operating pressure as tool wear will be greatly increased. The air supply must
be capable of maintaining the operating pressure at the tool. Pressure drops in the air supply can reduce the tool’s
driving power. Refer to “TOOL SPECIFICATIONS” for setting the correct operating pressure for the tool.
FILTER:
Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of wear in pneumatic tools. A filter will help to get the best
performance and minimum wear from the tool. The filter must have adequate flow capacity for the specific installation.
The filter has to be kept clean to be effective in providing clean compressed air to the tool. Consult the manufacturers
instructions on proper maintenance of your filter. A dirty and clogged filter will cause a pressure drop which will reduce
the tool’s performance.
LUBRICATION
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best performance. Oil added thru the air line connection will lubricate
the internal parts. Use STANLEY-BOSTITCH Air Tool Lubricant, Mobil Velocite #10, or equivalent. Do not use detergent
oil or additives as these lubricants will cause excellerated wear to the seals and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor
tool performance and frequent tool maintenance.
If no airline lubricator is used, add oil during use into the air fitting on the tool once or twice a day. Only a few drops
of oil at a time is necessary. Too much oil will only collect inside the tool and will be noticeable in the exhaust cycle.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION:
For cold weather operation, near and below freezing, the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool operation.
We recommend the use of STANLEY-BOSTITCH WINTER FORMULA air tool lubricant or permanent antifreeze (ethylene
glycol) as a cold weather lubricant.
CAUTION: To prevent frost or ice formation on the tool’s operating valves and mechanisms that could cause tool failure,
do not store tools in a cold weather environment.
NOTE: Some commercial air line drying liquids are harmful to “0”-rings and seals — do not use these low temperature
air dryers without checking compatability.

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.
SHINGLE GAUGE

BEFORE HANDLING OR OPERATING THIS TOOL:
I. READ AND UNDERSTAND THE WARNINGS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL.
II. REFER TO “TOOL SPECIFICATIONS” IN THIS MANUAL, TO IDENTIFY THE
OPERATING SYSTEM ON YOUR TOOL.
There are three available operating systems on STANLEY-BOSTITCH pneumatic tools. They are:
1. T RIGGER OPERATION 2. CONTACT TRIP OPERATION 3. SEQUENTIAL TRIP OPERATION
OPERATION
1. TRIGGER OPERATION:
A TRIGGER OPERATED tool requires a single action to drive a fastener. Each time the trigger is pulled the tool will
drive a fastener. The trigger operated model is intended for use only when a contact trip or sequential trip cannot be
used due to the requirements of the application.
2. CONTACT TRIP OPERATION:
THE CONTACT TRIP MODEL tool contains a work contacting arm that operates in conjunction with the trigger to drive
a fastener. There are two methods of operation to drive fasteners with a contact trip tool.
A. SINGLE FASTENER PLACEMENT: To operate the tool in this manner, position the nose of the tool on the work surface,
WITH FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER, and depress the contact trip. Pull the trigger to drive a fastener and remove
your finger from the trigger after each operation.
B. RAPID FASTENER OPERATION: To operate the tool in this manner, pull the trigger with the tool off the work surface.
To drive fasteners, “tap” the nose of the tool against the work surface using a “bouncing” motion. Each depres¬
sion of the contact trip will drive a fastener.
AWARNING:
The operator must not hold the trigger pulled on contact trip tools except during fastening operation, as serious
injury could result if the trip accidentally contacted someone or something, causing the tool to cycle.
AWARNING:
Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool. A contact trip tool may bounce from the
recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted second fastener may be driven, possibly causing injury.
OPERATOR NOTE:
Do not press the tool against the work surface with “extra force” but instead allow the tool to recoil off the work surface
to avoid a second unwanted fastener.
3. S EQUENTIAL TRIP OPERATION:
THE SEQUENTIAL TRIP MODEL contains a work contacting arm that operates in conjunction with the trigger to drive
a fastener. There is only one method of operation to drive fasteners with a sequential trip tool, and that is single fastener
placement. To operate the tool, release the trigger, press the nose of the tool on the work surface, then pull the trigger
to drive a fastener. This sequence must be performed for each fastener to be driven.
The Sequential Trip Model provides a positive safety advantage because it will not accidentally drive a fastener if the
nose of the tool is unintentionally allowed to recontact the work surface or anything else, with finger on the trigger.

MAINTAINING THE PNEUMATIC TOOL
AWARNING:
When working on air tools, note the warnings in this manual and use extra care evaluating problem tools.
CAUTION : Pusher spring (constant force spring). Caution must be used when working with the spring assembly. The spring is wrapped
around, but not attached to, a roller. If the spring is extended beyond its length, the end will come off the roller and the spring will roll up
with a snap, with a chance of pinching your hand. Also the edges of the spring are very thin and could cut. Care must also be taken to insure
no permanent kinks are put in the spring as this will reduce the spring's force.
REPLACEMENT PARTS:
STAN-TECH replacement parts are recommended. Do not use modified parts or parts which will not give equivalent perfor¬
mance to the orignal equipment.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE FOR SEALS:
When repairing a tool, make sure the internal parts are clean and lubricated. Use Parker "0”-LUBE or equivalent on all “O”-
rings. Coat each '0”-ring with “0"-LUBE before assembling. Use a small amount of oil on all moving surfaces and pivots.
After reassembly add a few drops of approved Air Tool Lubricant through the air line fitting before testing.
AIR SUPPLY-PRESSURE AND VOLUME:
Air volume is as important as air pressure. The air volume supplied to the tool may be inadequate because of undersize fit¬
tings and hoses, or from the effects of dirt and water in the system. Restricted air flow will prevent the tool from receiving an
adequate volume of air, even though the pressure reading is high. The results will be slow operation, misfeeds or reduced
driving power. Before evaluating tool problems for these symptoms, trace the air supply from the tool to the supply source for
restrictive connectors, swivel fittings, low points containing water and anything else that would prevent full volume flow of air
to the tool.

CLEANING THE ROOFING NAILER
AWARNING:
Do not use gasoline or similar highly flammable liquids to clean the nailer. Vapor could be ignited by
a spark causing an explosion.
Tar and dirt may build up on the nose and trip lever. This can prevent correct operation. Remove any buildup with kerosene,
#2 fuel oil or diesel fuel. Do not dunk the nailer into these solvents beyond the height of the nail heads, to avoid getting
the solvent into the drive cylinder.
Dry off the nailer before use. Any oil film left after cleanup will accelerate the tar buildup, and the nailer will require more
frequent re-cleaning.
NOTE: Solvents sprayed on nose to clean and free up the trip may have the opposite effect! The solvent may soften the tar
on the shingles and cause tar buildup to be accelerated. Dry operation is better, as noted above.
