OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FOREWORD
Porter-Cable Model BN125A is a heavy duty pneumatic brad nailer. It is
designed to install 18 ga. brad nails of various lengths (from 5/8" to 11/4" long),
see ACCESSORIES Listing in back of this manual.
CAUTION: Use approved Porter-Cable brad nails only (see ACCES-
SORIES Listing in back of this manual).
POWER SOURCE
This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry, compressed air at regulated
pressures between 70 and 120 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch). The preferred
system would include a filter, a pressure regulator, and an automatic oiler
located as close to the tool as possible (within 15 feet is ideal).
All compressed air contains moisture and other contaminates that are
detrimental to internal components of the tool. An air line filter will remove
most of these contaminates and significantly prolong the life of the tool. If an
in-line oiler is not available: place five or six drops of Porter-Cable Air Tool Oil
(see ACCESSORIES), into the tool’s air inlet at the beginning of each workday.
The tool is equipped with a male “quick connector”. The tool must always be
connected to the air supply with a coupling such that all pressure is removed
from the tool when the coupling is disconnected.
CAUTION: All air line components (hoses, connectors, filters,
regulators, etc.) must have a minimum working pressure rating of 150
PSI (10.3 BAR) or 150% of maximum system potential, whichever is
higher.
Do not connect this tool to a system with maximum potential
pressure greater than 200 PSI, (13.7 BAR).
Only connect tool to air supply with a coupling that will release all
pressure from the tool when disconnected.
Disconnect tool from air supply before performing maintenance,
clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another
location, or handing the tool to another person.

PREPARING THE TOOL
1. After reading and understanding this entire manual, connect tool to
air supply.
CAUTION: Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others at all times.
Always connect tool to air supply before loading fasteners.
Do not load fasteners with trigger or safety depressed.
Only use approved Porter-Cable fasteners (see ACCESSORIES).
Always wear Z87 approved safety glasses, and hearing protection
when preparing or operating the tool.
Never use a tool that leaks air or needs repair.
2. Depress latch and slide magazine cover open, see Fig. 15.
3. Insert a strip of approved fasteners, see Fig. 16. Orient fasteners with
points down, and in contact with the bottom of the magazine.
4. Push magazine cover closed, see Fig. 17.
A
5. Adjust directional exhaust deflector (A) Fig.
18, so that the exhaust air blast will be directed
away from the operator. The exhaust deflector
provides 8 detented positions for directing the
exhaust blast away from the operator. Grasp the
deflector and rotate it to the desired position for
the current application.
USING THE TOOL
Fig. 18
Complete all steps of PREPARING THE TOOL
before using the tool.

To fire, grip tool firmly, position nose of tool onto work surface, push forward
on tool to depress safety, and squeeze trigger to fire a fastener. This “trigger
fire” method provides the most accurate fastener placement. This tool is
shipped from the factory with a “restrictive fire trigger” that only allows the tool
to be fired this way and is less likely to fire an unwanted fastener.
An alternate “bottom fire trigger” is available. The “bottom fire” trigger allows
the tool to be fired in two different ways.
1. The tool can be fired using the “trigger fire” method described above.
OR
2. Grip tool firmly, depress and hold trigger while pushing the tool firmly
against work surface. The tool will fire a fastener each time the safety is
depressed. This method is known as “bottom fire” and allows very fast
repetitive fastener placement.
The “bottom fire trigger” is available free-of-charge by calling 1-800-321-9443
in the United States and Canada or 001-901-660-9374 outside the United
States and Canada, and providing tool model and serial number. For
identification purposes: the Bottom Fire Trigger is black and the Restrictive Fire
Trigger is red.
CAUTION: Remove finger from trigger when not driving fasteners.
Never carry tool with finger on trigger: tool may fire a fastener if safety
is bumped.
Keep tool pointed in a safe direction at all times.
Never attempt to drive a fastener into material that is too hard, or at
too steep an angle, or near the edge of the workpiece. The fastener
can ricochet causing personal injury.
Disconnect tool from air supply before performing maintenance,
clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another
location, or handing the tool to another person.
Clean and inspect tool daily. Carefully check for proper operation of
trigger and safety mechanism. Do Not use the tool unless both the
trigger and the safety mechanism are functional, or if the tool is
leaking air or needs any other repair.
The depth to which a fastener is driven is controlled by the depth adjustment
knob (A) Fig. 19. The depth of drive is factory adjusted to a nomimal setting.
Test fire a fastener and check depth. If
a change is desired, rotate the
adjustment knob (A) Fig. 19: the
adjustment knob has detents every 1/4
turn. Rotate the knob clockwise (see
Fig. 19), to increase the depth of drive, A
rotate the knob counterclockwise to
decrease the depth of drive. Test fire
Fig. 19
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.

NOSE CUSHION
This tool is equipped with a rubber nose cushion (A) Fig. 22, that prevents
marring of finished surfaces by the metal safety during normal operation. The
nose cushion can be removed and stored in the rear area of the magazine (B)
Fig. 22, when it is not required.
CAUTION: Disconnect tool from air supply before removing or
reinstalling rubber nose cushion.

MAINTENANCE
CLEAN AND INSPECT DAILY
CAUTION: Disconnect tool from air supply before cleaning and
inspection.Correct all problems before placing the tool back in use.
Wipe tool clean and inspect for wear or damage. Use non-flammable cleaning
solutions to wipe exterior of tool only if necessary. DO NOT SOAK tool with
cleaning solutions. Such solutions can damage internal parts.
Inspect trigger and safety mechanism to assure system is complete and
functional: no loose or missing parts, no binding or sticking parts.
Keep all screws tight. Loose screws can cause personal injury or damage tool.
If tool is used without an in-line oiler: place 5 or 6 drops of Porter-Cable Air
Tool Oil into the air inlet of the tool at the beginning of each workday.
