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.

Bostitch 650S4-1, 600 manual Lubrication

600, 650S4-1 specifications

The Bostitch 650S4-1,600 is an advanced pneumatic stapler designed for a wide range of fastening tasks in both professional and DIY settings. Built for durability and efficiency, this tool delivers high performance while maintaining user comfort, making it a preferred choice among contractors and woodworkers alike.

One of the standout features of the Bostitch 650S4-1,600 is its robust construction, designed to withstand the rigors of daily use. The stapler operates on a pneumatic system, requiring an air compressor to provide power, which allows it to deliver consistent performance without the need for batteries or electricity. This feature makes it not only reliable but also ideal for outdoor jobs where power sources are limited.

The stapler has a magazine capacity that holds up to 160 staples, minimizing the need for frequent reloads and allowing users to work more efficiently. It is compatible with a variety of Bostitch staples, specifically 18-gauge and ¾-inch crown staples, which are perfect for applications like upholstery, insulation, woodworking, and general construction. This versatility further enhances its appeal, making it suitable for various projects.

Another significant characteristic of the Bostitch 650S4-1,600 is its adjustable depth control, which allows users to set the stapler to drive staples to the desired depth into different materials. This feature helps in achieving clean and precise fastening, especially when working with materials of varying thicknesses. The staple exit is designed to minimize jamming, making operation smoother and reducing downtime during tasks.

In terms of safety, the Bostitch 650S4-1,600 incorporates a trigger safety mechanism that prevents accidental firing. This added layer of protection is crucial, especially in busy work environments where multiple users may be present. The integrated rubber grip provides comfort and control, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged use.

Additionally, the unit is also lightweight, which enhances maneuverability and ease of use, especially when tackling overhead projects or tight spaces. With its combination of power, precision, and flexibility, the Bostitch 650S4-1,600 stands out in the realm of pneumatic staplers, making it an excellent investment for anyone in need of a reliable fastening solution.
