OPERATING YOUR MCN NAILER
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY FROM FASTENERS AND FLYING DEBRIS WHEN INSTALLING METAL CONNECTORS
USING THE MCN NAILER:
• Use only genuine BOSTITCH metal connector nails.
• Use only one stick of metal connector nails at a time.
• Metal connector nails are not designed to penetrate metal. When installing metal connectors, always place the
exposed point of the metal connector nail into the metal connector's pre-formed hole, and orient so the nail is
perpendicular to the hole before attempting to drive a fastener.

TOOL OPERATION
NOTE: Although this is not the only pneumatic tool offered by BOSTITCH that operates sequentially, its
operation is unique from all other BOSTITCH tools. The moveable nose, which acts as the contact trip, is in the
"depressed" position at rest to allow visibility of the nail points used for positive placement. When the tip of the
nail is placed in the preformed metal connector hole and the trigger is pulled, the moveable nose moves out from
the tool to detect the work surface. If the moveable nose does not detect the work surface close to
the nose of the tool, the tool will not actuate.
