SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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

Do 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. 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.

LOADING TOOL

When loading tool: 1.) Never place a hand or any part of body in fastener discharge area of tool; 2.) Never point tool at anyone; 3.) Do not pull the trigger or depress the trip as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.

OPERATION

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 byproducts of which are -- flammable, combustible or explosive. Using the nailer in any such environment could cause an EXPLOSION resulting in personal injury or death to user and bystanders.

MAINTAINING THE TOOL

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

SB-100SX TOOL SPECIFICATIONS

All screws and nuts are metric.

MODEL	TOOL ACTUATION	LENGTH	HEIGHT	WIDTH	WEIGHT
SB-100SX	Sequential Trip	9-1/2” (241.3mm)	8-3/4” (222.2mm)	2” (50.8mm)	2.65 lbs. (1.2 Kg)

FASTENER SPECIFICATIONS:

TOOL MODEL	STAPLE SERIES	GAUGE	FASTENER RANGE
SB-100SX	SX5035	18	1/2” - 1” (12mm-25mm)

TOOL AIR FITTING:

This tool uses a free-flow connector plug, 1/4 N.P.T. The inside diameter should be .200” (5mm) or larger. The fitting must be capable of discharging tool air pressure when disconnected from the air supply.

OPERATING PRESSURE:

70 to 100 p.s.i.g. (4.9 to 7.0 kg/cm2). Select the operating pressure within this range for best fastener performance. DO NOT EXCEED THIS RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE.

AIR CONSUMPTION:

The SB-100SX requires 2.2 cubic feet (.06 cubic meters) of free air to operate at the rate of 100 staples per minute, at 80 p.s.i. (5.6 kg/cm2). 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 nails per minute, you need 50% of the tool’s c.f.m. which is required to operate the tool at 100 staples per minute.

OPERATION

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, for instance on framing, toe nailing and crating applications. The Sequential Trip allows exact fastener location without the possibility of driving a second fastener on recoil, as described under “Contact Trip”. The Sequential Trip Tool has a positive safety advantage because it will not accidentally drive a fastener if the tool is contacted against the work – or anything else – while the operator is holding the trigger pulled.

MODEL IDENTIFICATION:

Refer to Operation Instructions on page 7 before proceeding to use this tool.

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 operatiing 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.

LUBRICATION

Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best performance. Oil added through the air line connection will lubricate the internal parts. Use BOSTITCH 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.

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

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 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.

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

SEQUENTIAL TRIP OPERATION:

The SEQUENTIAL TRIP MODEL contains a contact trip that 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.

MAINTAINING THE PNEUMATIC TOOL

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:

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.
