TOOL AIR FITTING
This tool uses a free-flow connector plug, 1/4 N.P.T. The inside diameter should be 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. (4.9 to 8.4 BAR). Select the operating pressure within this range for best fastener performance.
Caution: Do not exceed the recommended operating pressure.
AIR CONSUMPTION
The 216 requires 1.65 cubic feet per minute (.046 cubic meters) and the 216-LN models require 1.8 cubic feet per
minute (.051 cubic meters) of free air to operate at the rate of 100 staples per minute, at 80 p.s.i. (5.6 kg/cm
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 staples per minute, you need 50% of the tool's c.f.m. which is required to operate the
tool at 100 staples per minute.
