RN45B TOOL SPECIFICATIONS
All screws and nuts are metric.
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 .190”
(4.8mm) 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:
The RN45B requires 3.9 cubic feet per minute of free air to operate at the rate of 100
nails per minute, at 80 p.s.i. (5.6 kg/cm
2
). Take the actual rate at which the tool will be run
to determine the amount 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.
STANLEY-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 on
many jobs, such as sheathing, decking and pallet assembly.
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 framing, toe
nailing and crating 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.
