SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

EYE PROTECTION which conforms to ANSI specifications and provides protection against

lying particles both from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the operator and

f others in the work area when connecting to air supply, loading, operating or servicing this

ool. Eye protection is required to guard against flying fasteners and debris, which could

ause severe eye injury.

he employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection

T equipment must conform to the requirements of the American National Standards Institute,

NSI Z87.1 and provide both frontal and side protection. NOTE: Non-side shielded

A 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

sed by the operator and others in the work area. Some environments will require the use

u 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

OPERATION

BOSTITCH OFFERS ONE TYPE OF OPERATION FOR THIS SERIES TOOL.

TRIGGER OPERATED

This is a trigger operated model cycled by actuation of the trigger. The trigger operated tool will cycle every time the trigger is actuated.

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/cm

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.

) as tool may fracture or burst, possibly causing injury.

LUBRICATION

requent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best performance. Oil added through the air line

F connection will lubricate the internal parts. Use BOSTITCH Air Tool Lubricant, Mobil Velocite #10, or

quivalent. Do not use detergent oil or additives as these lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals

e and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool performance and frequent tool maintenance.

f no airline lubricator is used, add oil during use into the air fitting on the tool once or twice a day. Only a few

I drops of oil at a time is necessary. Too much oil will only collect inside the tool and will be noticeable in the exhaust cycle.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION:

or cold weather operation, near and below freezing, the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool

F operation. We recommend the use of BOSTITCH 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.

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 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.

MAINTAINING THE PNEUMATIC TOOL

When working on air tools, note the warnings in this manual and use extra care evaluating problem tools.

REPLACEMENT PARTS:

BOSTITCH replacement parts are recommended. Do not use modified parts or parts which will not give equivalent performance to the original equipment.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE FOR SEALS:

When repairing a tool, make sure the internal parts are clean and lubricated. Use Parker “O”-LUBE or equivalent on all “O”-rings. Coat each “O”-ring with “O”-LUBE before assembling. Use a small amount of oil on all moving surfaces and pivots. After reassembly add a few drops of BOSTITCH Air Tool Lubricant through the air line fitting before testing.

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.
