HAZARD

RISK OF BURSTING

Air Tank: On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission published Release # 02-108 concerning air compressor tank safety:

Air compressor receiver tanks do not have an infinite life. Tank life is dependent upon several factors, some of which include operating conditions, ambient conditions, proper installations, field modifications, and the level of maintenance. The exact effect of these factors on air receiver life is difficult to predict.

If proper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal corrosion to the inner wall of the air receiver tank can cause the air tank to unexpectedly rupture allowing pressurized air to suddenly and forcefully escape, posing risk of injury to consumers.

Your compressor air tank must be removed from service by the end of the year shown on your tank warning label.

The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in a violent air tank explosion:

Become familiar with these terms before operating the unit. CFM: Cubic feet per minute.

SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.

PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of pressure.

Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of the following marks: UL®, CUL, CULUS, ETL®, CETL, CETLUS, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent safety laboratories and meet the applicable Standards for Safety.

Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you continue to use your accessory. When the tank pressure drops to a certain lower level the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor automatically restarts is called "cut-in" pressure.

Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before the motor automati- cally shuts off, protecting your air tank from pressure higher than its capacity. The high pres- sure at which the motor shuts off is called "cut-out" pressure.

Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.

BTFP01012 specifications

The Bostitch BTFP01012 is a versatile and efficient air compressor that caters to the needs of DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike. Known for its durable construction and high performance, this model stands out in the crowded marketplace of air compressors.

One of the key features of the BTFP01012 is its 6-gallon pancake-style tank. This design allows for increased stability during operation while also facilitating the collection of air in a compact form. The tank is capable of producing a maximum pressure of 150 PSI, providing a steady supply of air to power various pneumatic tools, from nailers to paint sprayers. This high-efficiency feature ensures optimal performance for both home improvement projects and professional tasks.

Another notable characteristic of the BTFP01012 is its oil-free pump. This innovative technology not only reduces maintenance requirements but also enhances portability and convenience. Users can easily transport the compressor without the worry of spills or leaks associated with oil-based models. Additionally, the oil-free design results in cleaner air delivery, which is essential for air tools and applications that require precision.

The Bostitch BTFP01012 also features a fast recovery time, thanks to its powerful motor. The 0.8 horsepower motor is designed to efficiently replenish the air tank quickly, allowing users to spend more time working and less time waiting for the compressor to catch up. This efficiency is particularly beneficial in fast-paced environments, where time is of the essence.

Portability is another highlight of this compressor. Weighing in at just 30 pounds and equipped with a top handle, the BTFP01012 is easy to carry around the job site or transfer between locations. The sturdy rubber feet provide additional stability and support during use, ensuring that the compressor remains firmly in place.

Safety features such as a thermal overload protection system further enhance the reliability of the BTFP01012. This feature prevents overheating, extending the lifespan of the unit and ensuring safe operation during demanding tasks.

In summary, the Bostitch BTFP01012 is a compact yet powerful air compressor that combines innovative technology with user-friendly features. Its pancake design, oil-free pump, fast recovery time, and portable construction make it an excellent choice for a variety of applications. Whether you are a hobbyist or a professional, this air compressor meets the demands of an array of tasks with efficiency and reliability.
