The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye
protection equipment must conform to the requirements of the American National
Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1 and provide both frontal and side protection.
NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do not provide
adequate protection.
CAUTION: Additional Safety Protection will be required in some
environments. For example, the working area may include exposure to noise
level which can lead to hearing damage. The employer and user must ensure that
any necessary hearing protection is provided and used by the operator and
others in the work area. Some environments will require the use of head
protection equipment. When required, the employer and user must ensure that
head protection conforming to ANSI Z89.1 is used.
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.
WARNING: Do not use supply sources which can potentially exceed 200
P.S.I.G. as tool may burst, possibly causing injury.
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: Do not pull trigger or depress contact arm while connected to
the air supply as the tool may cycle, possibly causing injury.
WARNING: 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,

OPERATION
WARNING: Always handle the tool with care: 1.) Never engage in horseplay;
2.) Never pull the trigger unless nose is directed toward the work; 3.) Keep
others a safe distance from the tool while tool is in operation as accidental
actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
WARNING: The operator must not hold the trigger pulled on contact arm
tools except during fastening operation as serious injury could result if the
trip accidentally contacted someone or something, causing the tool to cycle.
WARNING: Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool. A
contact arm tool may bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and an
unwanted second fastener may be driven possibly causing injury.
WARNING: Check operation of the contact arm mechanism frequently. Do not
use the tool if the arm is not working correctly as accidental driving of a
fastener may result. Do not interfere with the proper operation of the contact
arm mechanism.
WARNING: Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the
tool at an overly steep angle as this may cause deflection of fasteners which
could cause injury.
WARNING: Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the work piece as
the wood may split, allowing the fastener to be deflected possibly causing
injury.
WARNING: This nailer produces SPARKS during operation. NEVER use the
nailer near flammable substances, gases or vapors including lacquer, paint,
benzine, thinner, gasoline, adhesives, mastics, glues or any other material
that is — or the vapors, fumes or by-products of which are — flammable,
combustible or explosive. Using the nailer in any such environment could cause

NOTE:
BOSTITCH tools have been engineered to provide superior customer satisfaction and are designed to achieve maximum perfomance when used with precision BOSTITICH fasteners engineered to the same exacting standards. BOSTITCH cannot assume responsibility for product performance if our tools are used with fasteners or accessories not meeting the specific requirements established for genuine BOSTITCH fasteners and accessories.
AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
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/cm2) 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/cm2) 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/cm2) 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 to get the best performance and minimum wear from 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. LOADING THE FN1664
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION which conforms to ANSI specifications and provides protection against flying particles both from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the operator and others in the work area when connecting to air supply, loading, operating or servicing this tool. Eye protection is required to guard against flying fasteners and debris, which could cause severe eye injury.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection equipment must conform to the requirements of the American National Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1 and provide both frontal and side protection.
NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do not provide adequate protection.
WARNING: TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL INJURIES:- Never place a hand or any other part of the body in nail discharge area of tool while the air supply is connected.
- Never point the tool at anyone else.
- Never engage in horseplay.
- Never pull the trigger unless nose is directed at the work.
- Always handle the tool with care.
- Do not pull the trigger or depress the trip mechanism while loading the tool.
LOADING THE FN1664
- Load nails through the slot in the rear of the magazine and past retaining clip.
- Pull pusher back behind nail stick and release.
- Ensure magazine pusher is behind the last nail stick.
TRIGGER LOCKOUT CONTROL
The trigger lockout control feature on BOSTITCH pneumatic tools provides a trigger lock feature for added safety control. Push the lockout control button in or out to activate or lock the tool trigger.
TRIP OPERATION MODE
Warning: Always disconnect air supply before making adjustments as
accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
The FN1664 features a selectable trigger system that allows the user to choose
between the following modes of operation:
- Contact Trip Operation
- Sequential Trip Operation
1. CONTACT TRIP:
The common operation procedure on “Contact Trip” tools is for the operator to
contact the work surface to actuate the trip mechanism while keeping the
trigger pulled, thus driving a fastener each time the work surface is
contacted. This will allow rapid fastener placement on many jobs. 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 the trigger
pulled) an unwanted second fastener will be driven.
2. 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. The
Sequential Trip allows exact fastener location without the possibility if
driving a second fastener on recoil as described under “Contact Trip”. The
Sequential Trip Tool has a positive advantage because it will not accidentally
drive a fastener if the tool is contacted against the work surface – or
anything else – while the operator is holding the trigger pulled.
SELECTING THE TRIP MODE:
To ensure safety, the user must lock the trigger (as described above) before
changing the trigger system. To change the trip mode, rotate the mode switch
in the counterclockwise direction. The mode switch will lock automatically
when the indicating arrow is pointing down to the 3 nail icon stamped into the
tool frame (Contact Trip Mode) or to a single nail icon stamped in the tool
frame( Sequential Trip Mode). Unlock the trigger to resume tool
operation.
DIAL-A-DEPTH™ FASTENER CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
The DIAL-A-DEPTH™ Fastener control adjustment feature provides close control
of the fastener drive depth: from flush with the work surface to shallow or
deep countersink.
First set the air pressure for consistent drive in the specific work as
described on page 4, then use the DIAL-A-DEPTH™ fastener control adjustment to
give the desired depth of drive. IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER WARNINGS
CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING FOR SAFE OPERATION
- Use the BOSTITCH pneumatic tool only for the purpose for which it was designed.
- Never use this tool in a manner that could cause a fastener to be directed toward the user or others in the work area.
- Do not use the tool as a hammer.
- Always carry the tool by the handle. Never carry the tool by the air hose.
- Do not alter or modify this tool from the original design or function without approval from BOSTITCH, INC.
- Always be aware that misuse and improper handling of this tool can cause injury to yourself and others.
- Never clamp or tape the trigger or contact trip in an actuated position.
- Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose attached.
- Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible WARNING LABEL.
- Do not continue to use a tool that leaks air or does not function properly. Notify your nearest Bostitch representative if your tool continues to experience functional problems.
INSTALLING THE BELT HOOK
Always disconnect tool from air supply before making adjustments or before
attempting any part assembly or disassembly.
Always remove the belt hook from the tool when selecting Contact Trip Mode.
- Assure that the sequential trip mode is selected.
- Depress the belt hook release button on the belt hook body.
- Slide the belt hook into the belt hook attachment slot.
- Release the belt hook release button and check to ensure that the belt hook is locked in position.
USING THE INTEGRATED PENCIL SHARPENER
A standard pencil sharpener is integrated into the belt hook for the
operator’s convenience. To sharpen a pencil, insert any standard pencil into
the hole and rotate the pencil to the right (clockwise)to sharpen.
HEX WRENCH STORAGE
A 3mm hex wrench for servicing the tool is stored within the belt hook. To
remove the hex wrench, push out the short end of the hex wrench from the
backside of the belt hook. Then grasp the hex wrench from the front of the
belt hook and remove. TOOL OPERATION
EYE PROTECTION which conforms to ANSI specifications and provides
protection against flying particles both from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS
be worn by the operator and others in the work area when connecting to air
supply, loading, operating or servicing this tool. Eye protection is required
to guard against flying fasteners and debris, which could cause severe eye
injury.

BEFORE HANDLING OR OPERATING THIS TOOL:
I. READ AND UNDERSTAND THE WARNINGS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL.
II. REFER TO “TOOL SPECIFICATIONS” IN THIS MANUAL TO IDENTIFY THE OPERATING
SYSTEM ON YOUR TOOL.
OPERATION
-
CONTACT TRIP OPERATION:
In CONTACT TRIP MODE the tool contains a contact trip that operates in conjunction with the trigger to drive a fastener. There are two methods of operation to drive fasteners with a contact trip tool.
A. SINGLE FASTENER PLACEMENT: To operate the tool in this manner, first position the contact trip on the work surface, WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER. Depress the contact trip until the nose touches the work surface and then pull the trigger to drive a fastener. Do not press the tool against the work with extra force. Instead, allow the tool to recoil off the work surface to avoid a second unwanted fastener. Remove your finger from the trigger after each operation.
B. RAPID FASTENER OPERATION: To operate the tool in this manner, hold the tool with the contact trip pointing towards but not touching the work surface. Pull the trigger and then tap the contact trip against the work surface using a bouncing motion. Each depression of the contact trip will cause a fastener to be driven.
The operator must not hold the trigger pulled on contact trip tools except during fastening operation, as serious injury could result if the trip accidentally contacted someone or something, causing the tool to cycle.
Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool. A contact trip tool may bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted second fastener may be driven, possibly causing injury. -
SEQUENTIAL TRIP OPERATION:
In SEQUENTIAL TRIP MODE the contact trip operates in conjunction with the trigger to drive a fastener. To operate a sequential trip tool, first position the contact trip on the work surface WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER. Depress the contact trip and then pull the trigger to drive a fastener. As long as the contact trip is contacting the work and is held depressed, the tool will drive a fastener each time the trigger is depressed. If the contact trip is allowed to leave the work surface, the sequence described above must be repeated to drive another fastener.
JAM CLEARING PROCEDURE
Disconnect tool from air supply before making adjustments or before attempting
any part assembly or disassembly.
On occasion nails can jam in the nose of a pneumatic nailer. This can be
caused by striking a metal plate in the wall, drywall screw, or some other
hard object. The FN1664 feature open drive channel architecture for jam
clearing. To clear a jam follow this procedure:
- Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
- Release the pusher so it is no longer applying force to the nail sticks.
- Open the jam clearing nose door by pulling down and then up on the latch.
- Remove the jammed fastener. In certain circumstances, pliers may be required to remove the fastener.
- Close the jam clearing nose door latch.
- Pull nail pusher back behind nail sticks.

MAINTAINING THE PNEUMATIC TOOL
WARNING: When working on air tools, note the warnings in this manual and
use extra care evaluating problem tools.
CAUTION: Pusher spring (constant force spring). Caution must be used when
working with the spring assembly. The spring is wrapped around, but not
attached to, a roller. If the spring is extended beyond its length, the end
will come off the roller and the spring will roll up with a snap, with a
chance of pinching your hand. Also the edges of the spring are very thin and
could cut. Care must also be taken to insure no permanent kinks are put in the
spring as this will reduce the springs force.
REPLACEMENT PARTS:
Use only genuine BOSTITCH replacement parts. Do not use modified parts.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE FOR SEALS:
When repairing a tool, make sure the internal parts are clean and lubricated.
Use Parker “O”-LUBE, Magnalube, or equivalent on all “O”-rings. Coat each
“O”-ring with lubricant before assembling.
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, low
points containing water and anything else that would prevent full volume flow
of air to the tool.
