Tool Air Fitting: This tool uses a 1/4" N.P.T. male plug. The inside diameter should be .275" (7 mm) or larger. The fitting must be capable of discharging tool air pressure when disconnected from the air supply. A 3/8" (9.5 mm) male quick connector coupling is available from PORTER-CABLE and may be used when a 1/4" (6.4 mm) supply line is not available.
NOTE: A 3/8" (9.5 mm) supply line (and fittings) are required for maximum tool performance.
Operating Pressure: 70-120 p.s.i.g (5 to 8.5 kg/cm²/4.8 to 8.3 bar). Select the operating pressure within this range for best fastener performance. DO NOT EXCEED THIS RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE.
Air Consumption: The RN175C requires 4.13 cubic feet per minute (100 liters per minute) of free air to operate at the rate of 100 fasteners 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 fasteners per minute, you need 50% of the tool's c.f.m. of free air which is required to operate the tool at 100 fasteners per minute.
Trigger: The RN175C is equipped with a contact trigger. Refer to the Actuating Tool section for more information.
Safety Information
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Eye protection must always be worn by the operator and other people in the work area.
WARNING: An employer must ensure that proper eye protection is available and used by anyone in the work area and any persons operating this tool.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sanding, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
- Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
WARNING: (Air and Supply)
- Be not use oxygen, combustible gases, or bottled gases as a power source for this tool as tool may explode, possibly causing injury.
- Do not use supply sources which can potentially exceed 200 P.S.I.G. (14kg/cm ^2 ) as tool may burst, possibly causing injury.
- The connector on the tool must not hold pressure when air supply is disconnected. If a wrong fitting is used, the tool can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a fastener even after the air line is disconnected possibly causing injury.
- Do not pull trigger or depress contact arm while connected to the air supply as the tool may cycle, possibly causing injury.
• Always disconnect air supply: 1.) Before making adjustments; 2.) When servicing the tool; 3.) When clearing a jam; 4.) When tool is not in use; 5.) When moving to a different work area, as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.

WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of damage or personal injury could result.
Refer to Figure A at the beginning of this manual for a complete list of components.
Intended Use
Your roofing nailer has been designed for professional roofing applications.
Your nailer is a professional power tool.
DO NOT let children come into contact with the tool.
Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use this tool.
ASSEMBLY AND USAGE PREP
Air Supply and Connections
WARNING: Do not use oxygen, combustible gases, or bottled gases as a power source for this tool as tool may explode, possibly causing injury.
Fittings
Install a male plug on the tool which is free flowing and which will release air pressure from the tool when disconnected from the supply source.
Hoses
Air hoses should have a minimum of 150 p.s.i. (10.6 kg/cm ^2 ) working pressure rating or 150 percent of the maximum pressure that could be produced in the air system. The supply hose should contain a fitting that will provide “quick disconnecting” from the male plug on the tool.
Supply Source
Use only clean regulated compressed air as a power source for this tool. NEVER USE OXYGEN, COMBUSTIBLE GASES, OR BOTTLED GASES, AS A POWER SOURCE FOR THIS TOOL AS TOOL MAY EXPLODE.
Regulator
A pressure regulator with an operating pressure of 0–125 p.s.i. (0 - 8.79 kg/cm ^2 ) is required to control the operating pressure for safe operation of this tool. Do not connect this tool to air pressure which can potentially exceed 200 p.s.i. (14 kg/cm ^2 ) as tool may fracture or burst, possibly causing injury.
Operating Pressure
Do not exceed recommended maximum operating pressure as tool wear will be greatly increased. The air supply must be capable of maintaining the operating pressure at the tool. Pressure drops in the air supply can reduce the tool's driving power. Refer to Tool Specifications for setting the correct operating pressure for the tool.
Filter
Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of wear in pneumatic tools. A filter will help get the best performance and minimize wear of the tool. The filter must have adequate flow capacity for the specific installation. The filter has to be kept clean to be effective in providing clean compressed air to the tool. Consult the manufacturer's instructions on proper maintenance of your filter. A dirty and clogged filter will cause a pressure drop which will reduce the tool's performance.
Lubrication
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best performance. Use Air Tool Lubricant, Mobil Velocite #10, or equivalent. Do not use detergent oil or additives as these lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool performance and frequent tool maintenance. Only a few drops of oil at a time is necessary inserted into air fitting opening. Too much oil will only collect inside the tool and will be noticeable in the exhaust cycle.
OPERATION
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, disconnect tool from air supply before performing maintenance, when loading or removing fasteners, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location or handing the tool to another person.
Proper Hand Position (Fig. B)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, ALWAYS when proper eye ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3) and hearing protection ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) when operating this tool.
WARNING: Keep fingers AWAY from the trigger when driving fasteners to avoid accidental actuation. Never carry a tool with finger on the trigger. The tool will drive a fastener if the contact trip is bumped while the trigger is depressed. Serious injury could result if the trip accidentally contacted someone or something, causing the tool to cycle.
Contact Actuation Trigger - /Fig. A)
The contact trigger 1 is intended for rapid fastening on flat, stationary surfaces.
Using the contact trigger, two methods are available: place actuation and contact actuation.
To Operate the Tool Using the PLACE ACTUATION Method
- Depress the contact trip 4 against the work surface.
- Pull the trigger to drive the fastener.
- Allow the tool to recoil off the work surface
To Operate the Tool Using the CONTACT ACTUATION Method
- Pull the trigger.
- Depress the contact trip 4 against the work surface. As long as the trigger is pulled, the tool will drive a fastener every time the contact trip is depressed. This allows the user to rapidly drive multiple fastener in sequence.
Single Sequential Trigger - /
WARNING: Allow the tool to recoil off the work before after actuation. If the contact trip remains depressed, a nail will be driven each time the trigger is released and pulled, which could result in accidental actuation, possibly causing injury.
The sequential actuation trigger's intended use is for intermittent fastening where accurate fastener placement is desired.
To operate the tool in single sequential actuation mode
- Depress the contact trip 4 firmly against the work surface.
- Pull the trigger.
- Allow the tool to recoil from the work surface.
Adjusting Depth (Fig. H)
WARNING: To reduce risk of serious injury from occidental actuation when attempting to adjust depth, ALWAYS:
- Disconnect air supply.
- Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments.
The depth that the fastener is driven can be adjusted using the depth adjustment next to the trigger of the tool. The depth of drive is factory adjusted to a nominal setting. Test drive a fastener and check depth. If a change is desired:
- To drive the nail shallower, rotate the depth adjustment wheel 5 to the right.
- To drive a nail deeper, rotate the depth adjustment wheel 5 to the left.
The adjustment wheel has detents every 1/4 turn. Test drive another fastener and check depth. Repeat as necessary to achieve desired results. The amount of air pressure required will vary depending on the size of the fastener and the material being fastened. Experiment with the air pressure setting to determine the lowest setting that will consistently perform the job at hand. Air pressure in excess of that required can cause premature wear and/or damage to the tool.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with no visible text or symbolsCold Weather Operation
For cold weather operation, near and below freezing, the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool operation. We recommend the use of winter formula air tool lubricant or permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather lubricant.
CAUTION: Do not store tools in a cold weather environment to prevent frost or ice formation on the tools operating valves and mechanisms that could cause tool failure.
NOTE: Some commercial air line drying liquids are harmful to "O"-rings and seals—do not use these low temperature air dryers without checking compatibility.
Hot Weather Operation
Tool should operate normally. However, keep tool out of direct sunlight as excessive heat can deteriorate bumpers, O-rings and other rubber parts resulting in increased maintenance.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, disconnect tool from air supply before performing maintenance, when loading or removing fasteners, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location or handing the tool to another person.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when performing this.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
ENGLISH
Replacement Parts
PORTER-CABLE replacement parts are recommended. Do not use modified parts or parts which will not give equivalent performance to the original equipment.
Air Supply-Pressure and Volume
Air volume is as important as air pressure. The air volume supplied to the tool may be inadequate because of undersize fittings and hoses, or from the effects of dirt and water in the system. Restricted air flow will prevent the tool from receiving an adequate volume of air, even though the pressure reading is high. The results will be slow operation, misfeeds or reduced driving power. Before evaluating tool problems for these symptoms, trace the air supply from the tool to the supply source for restrictive connectors, swivel fittings, low points containing water and anything else that would prevent full volume flow of air to the tool.
