To load nails into the Bostitch N400S Nailer, first ensure the tool is disconnected from the air supply. Open the magazine by pulling back the latch, insert the nails into the magazine, and then close the magazine securely. Reconnect to the air supply and conduct a test to ensure proper loading.
If the nailer is not firing, check to ensure it is properly connected to an adequate air supply. Verify that the pressure is within the recommended range (70-120 PSI). Inspect for any jammed nails in the magazine or nose. Clean any debris from the tool and ensure it is well-lubricated.
It is recommended to add a few drops of pneumatic tool oil to the air inlet of the Bostitch N400S Nailer before each use to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear.
The Bostitch N400S Nailer is designed to use wire-weld collated coil nails ranging from 1-1/2" to 4" in length. Ensure that the nails are compatible to prevent jamming and optimize performance.
To clear a nail jam, disconnect the nailer from the air supply. Open the magazine and remove any loose nails. Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to carefully remove the jammed nail from the nose area. Reassemble the tool and test for proper operation.
Regular maintenance for the Bostitch N400S Nailer includes cleaning the tool after each use, lubricating the air inlet, checking for worn out parts, and ensuring all screws and bolts are tightened. Periodically inspect the O-rings and seals for wear and replace as necessary.
To adjust the depth of drive, use the depth adjustment knob located near the nose of the tool. Turn the knob clockwise to increase depth and counterclockwise to decrease depth. Test on a scrap piece of material to achieve the desired depth setting.
Double firing can occur due to incorrect trigger technique or worn trigger parts. Ensure you are fully releasing the trigger between each shot. Inspect and replace any worn or damaged trigger components.
Yes, the Bostitch N400S Nailer is suitable for framing applications. It is designed to handle heavy-duty tasks such as framing, sheathing, and decking, given its compatibility with long nails and high driving power.
