The Bostitch N50FN Nailer is a precision-engineered pneumatic tool designed for professional-grade applications, offering reliability and efficiency in fastening tasks. This nailer operates within a pressure range of 70 to 120 PSI, optimizing its performance for various materials and ensuring consistent power delivery. It accommodates 15-gauge finish nails, ranging from 1-1/4 to 2-1/2 inches in length, providing versatility for different project requirements. The tool features an adjustable depth guide, allowing users to set nail depths accurately for clean and flush finishes.

The N50FN is constructed with a lightweight magnesium body, enhancing durability while reducing user fatigue during extended use. Its ergonomic design includes a comfortable rubber grip, which improves handling and control, promoting precision in operation. A rear exhaust directs air away from the user, maintaining a clean working environment, and a no-mar tip protects work surfaces from dents and scratches, preserving the integrity of the material.

For added convenience, the Bostitch N50FN incorporates a tool-free jam release mechanism, enabling quick and easy clearing of nail jams, minimizing downtime. The sequential firing mode ensures safety, requiring the user to depress the contact trip before pulling the trigger, reducing the risk of accidental firing. With a magazine capacity of up to 100 nails, the need for frequent reloading is diminished, increasing productivity on the job site.

Ideal for finish and trim work, cabinetry, and other woodworking applications, the Bostitch N50FN Nailer combines advanced features and robust construction to deliver superior performance, making it an invaluable tool for professionals seeking precision and efficiency in their projects.

What should I do if the Bostitch N50FN nailer is not firing?

If the nailer is not firing, check the air pressure to ensure it is within the recommended range (typically 70-120 PSI). Also, inspect the trigger valve and ensure the nails are properly loaded. If the issue persists, clean the nailer and check for any jammed nails.

How often should I oil my Bostitch N50FN nailer?

It is recommended to apply a few drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet before each use and after every 8 hours of operation. This helps maintain optimal performance and prolongs the tool's lifespan.

What type of nails can be used with the Bostitch N50FN?

The Bostitch N50FN is designed for 15-gauge finish nails. It can accommodate nail lengths ranging from 1-1/4 inches to 2-1/2 inches. Always use Bostitch-approved nails for best performance.

How can I clear a jam in the Bostitch N50FN nailer?

To clear a jam, disconnect the nailer from the air supply. Open the magazine and remove any remaining nails. Use a tool to gently remove the jammed nail from the nosepiece. After clearing, reload nails and reconnect the air supply.

Can the Bostitch N50FN be used for overhead applications?

Yes, the Bostitch N50FN is suitable for overhead applications due to its lightweight design. Always ensure proper safety measures, such as wearing eye protection and using a secure ladder, when working overhead.

What maintenance is required for the Bostitch N50FN?

Regular maintenance includes cleaning the tool after use, lubricating moving parts with pneumatic oil, and checking for any worn or damaged components. Periodically inspect the O-rings and replace them if signs of wear are evident.

How do I adjust the depth setting on the Bostitch N50FN?

To adjust the depth setting, locate the depth adjustment wheel near the trigger. Turn the wheel clockwise to increase the depth or counterclockwise to decrease it. Test on scrap material to ensure the desired depth before proceeding with your project.

What should I do if the Bostitch N50FN nailer leaks air?

If you notice an air leak, inspect the O-rings and seals for damage. Replace any worn or damaged parts. Ensure all fittings are tight and check the air hose connections. If the problem persists, consult the user manual or contact Bostitch support for further assistance.

Is there a specific air compressor requirement for the Bostitch N50FN?

The Bostitch N50FN requires an air compressor capable of delivering 70-120 PSI. Ensure the compressor has a sufficient airflow rate, typically around 1.9 SCFM at 90 PSI, to maintain consistent performance.
