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/cm

) 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/CM

) 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/CM

)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 SPECI-

FICATIONS” 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 ade-

quate 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 mainte-

nance.

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 pre-

vent 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.
