MODEL
ACTUATION
RN46-1 Contact Trip
RN46-2 Sequential Trip
FASTENER SPECIFICATIONS:
This tool uses coil roofing nails in lengths of 3/4" to 1-3/4" (19 - 45mm) with .120" (3mm) shank diameter.
TOOL AIR FITTING:
This tool uses a free-flow connector plug, 1/4 N.P.T. 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 120 p.s.i.g. (4.8 to 8.3). Select the operating pressure within this range for best fastener performance.
DO NOT EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE.
AIR CONSUMPTION:
The RN46 requires 3.9 cubic feet per minute (.11 cubic meters) of free air to operate at the rate of 100 nails
per minute, at 80 p.s.i. (5.6 kg/cm
of air required. For instance, if your fastener usage averages 50 nails per minute, you need 50% of the tool's
c.f.m. which is required to operate the tool at 100 nails per minute.

OPERATION

BOSTITCH offers two types of Operation for this series tool.
CONTACT TRIP
The common operating procedure on "Contact Trip" tools is for the operator to contact the work to
actuate the trip mechanism while keeping the trigger pulled, thus driving a fastener each time the work
is contacted. This will allow rapid fastener placement in many industrial applications. All pneumatic
tools are subject to recoil when driving fasteners. The tool may bounce, releasing the trip, and if
unintentionally allowed to recontact the work surface with the trigger still actuated (finger still holding
trigger pulled) an unwanted second fastener will be driven.
SEQUENTIAL TRIP
The Sequential Trip requires the operator to hold the tool against the work before pulling the trigger. This
makes accurate fastener placement easier, for instance on finish applications.
The Sequential Trip allows exact fastener location without the possibility of driving a second fastener on
recoil, as described under "Contact Trip".
The Sequential Trip Tool has a positive safety advantage because it will not accidentally drive a fastener if
the tool is contacted against the work – or anything else – while the operator is holding the trigger pulled.
