are designed to achieve maximum performance.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

Be Educated:

All users must read and fully understand all information contained in this operation and
maintenance manual before assembling, operating, or maintaining this air compressor.

Avoid Moving Parts:

When the compressor is plugged into an electrical source and the pressure switch is in the
“ON” position, this compressor will turn on automatically.

• Never touch any moving parts.

• Keep all body parts, hair, clothing, and jewelry away from moving parts.

• Never operate the air compressor without all guards and shrouds in place.

• Never stand on the compressor.

PROOF

Attachments and Accessories:

For any attachment or accessory you will be using with this compressor, the maximum
allowable recommended pressure should be clearly marked on the product or should be
clearly noted within the operations manual. Exceeding the pressure rating of these
attachments (including, but not limited to:air tools, air operated accessories, spray guns, air
hose, air hose connections, tires and other inflatables) could cause them to fly apart or
explode and could result in serious injury.

•

Never

exceed the maximum allowable pressure recommended by the manufacturer of any

attachment or accessory you use with this compressor.

Personal Protection:

The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection
equipment must conform to the requirements with the applicable parts of AS/NZS 1337.1:2010
and AS/NZS 1337.6:2007.
NOTICE!: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do not provide adequate
protection.

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 the applicable parts of AS 1800 and AS/NZS
1801:1998.

• Always wear eye protection.

• Wear proper hearing and head protection.

• Compressed air blast must never be aimed at anyone. Compressed air can cause bodily

injury and can propel loose particles and small objects at high speed.

• Keep children away from area of operation.

Transporting:

Always disconnect the air compressor before transporting. Use the handle to move the
compressor. Do not drag or pull the compressor by the power cord or air hose.

Air Tank:

Due to condensation associated with the process of compressing air, moisture will build up
inside your compressor’s air tank. Drain tank of moisture daily (See General Maintenance).
Failure to drain moisture from the tank properly could lead to the formation of rust and
thinning of the steel tank.
WARNING: FAILURE TO REGULARLY DRAIN TANK MAY CAUSE TANK CORROSION AND
RISK OF TANK EXPLOSION, RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY. TO AVOID RISK OF TANK
FAILURE DURING USE, DRAIN TANK AFTER EACH USE OR EVERY FOUR HOURS OF
OPERATION TO PREVENT CONDENSATION BUILD-UP AND TANK CORROSION.

WARNING: DO NOT PERFORM WELDING OR REPAIR OPERATIONS ON THE AIR TANK OF
THIS COMPRESSOR. WELDING ON THE AIR COMPRESSOR TANK CAN SEVERELY IMPAIR
TANK STRENGTH AND CAUSE AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS CONDITION. WELDING ON
THE TANK IN ANY MANNER WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

PROOF

Ventilation:
WARNING: RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION - DO NOT SPRAY FLAMMABLE LIQUID IN A

CONFINED AREA. SPRAY AREA MUST BE WELL VENTILATED. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE
SPRAYING AND DO NOT SPRAY WHERE SPARK OR FLAME IS PRESENT. KEEP
COMPRESSORS AS FAR FROM SPRAYING AREA AS POSSIBLE.

Risk of Burns:

All air compressors generate heat, even operating under normal conditions. Bostitch
compressors have been designed to reduce the risk of burns by limiting access to tubes and
cylinder head parts. In areas where tubes are exposed, a protective sheathing has been
added to the tubes to reduce risk; however, risk of burns does exist.

• To avoid serious burns, never touch the cylinder head parts or tubing during or immediately
after operation.

ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

This product should be electrically grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for electrical
current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER: IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF THE GROUNDING PLUG CAN RESULT IN A RISK
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman, if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood or if there is doubt as to whether this product is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided. If the supplied plug does not fit the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This product is shipped for use on a nominal 240-volt circuit. The motor of this compressor
has a thermal overload protector in the motor winding. If the motor should overheat, the
overload protector will shut the motor off. When the temperature returns to normal, the motor
will restart automatically.

NOTICE!Do not stop the compressor by pulling out the plug. Use only the On/Off switch.

Safety Valve:

This compressor is equipped with a safety valve that is set to avoid over-pressurization of the
air tanks. This valve is factory pre-set and will not function unless tank pressure reaches this
pressure. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST OR ELIMINATE THIS SAFETY DEVICE. ANY
ADJUSTMENTS TO THIS VALVE COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. If this device requires
service or maintenance, see an Authorized BOSTITCH Service Center.

PROOF

ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: (continued)

DUTY CYCLE:

To ensure long life of your BOSTITCH air compressor, do not operate on more than a 50% duty
cycle. If this air compressor pumps air more than 50% of one hour, then the compressor’s
capability is less than the air delivery required by the application. Always match the air
volume requirements of the attachment or accessory with the air volume delivery of the
compressor.

Notice!: BOSTITCH does not recommend the use of extension cords with compressors. The
use of an extension cord can result in the loss of voltage supplied to the compressor which
could prevent the compressor from starting. For optimum performance, plug the compressor
directly into an outlet and increase the length of airline as needed.

If an extension cord must be used, use these guidelines:

Distance Needed Recommended Conductor Size
Less than 10 m 1 mm² @ 10 A
10 - 15 m 1.5 mm² @ 15 A
Greater than 15 m Not Recommended

FEATURES OF THE BOSTITCH BTFP02000

A. Pressure Switch:- The pressure switch is the

activation mechanism that is used to start and
stop the compressor. When the switch is “On”,
the motor and pump will compress air until tank
pressure reaches the upper limit of the factory set
operating pressure. When tank pressure falls
below the factory set “cut in” pressure, the
compressor will again automatically turn on and
start to compress air.

B. Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank pressure gauge
indicates the air pressure that is present in the
tank in BAR.

C. Regulated Pressure Gauge: The regulated
pressure gauge indicates the amount of pressure
that is allowed into the discharge line according to
the setting of the regulator.

D. Regulator Knob: The regulator knob is used to adjust the air pressure that is available at
the discharge line. The discharge air pressure is increased by turning the knob clockwise
and decreased by turning the knob counter clockwise.

E. Drain Cock: Twist style valve that drains moisture from the tank when opened.
