TOOL OPERATION

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.

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.

There are three available systems on BOSTITCH pneumatic tools. They are:

1. TRIGGER OPERATION 2. CONTACT TRIP OPERATION 3. SEQUENTIAL TRIP OPERATION

OPERATION

1.TRIGGER OPERATION:

A TRIGGER OPERATED tool requires a single action to drive a fastener. Each time the trigger is pulled the tool will drive a fastener. The trigger operated model is intended for use only when a contact trip or sequential trip cannot be used due to the requirements of the application.

2.CONTACT TRIP OPERATION:

The CONTACT TRIP MODEL tool contains a contact trip that operates in conjunction with the trigger to drive a fastener. There are two methods of operation to drive fasteners with a contact trip tool.

A. SINGLE FASTENER PLACEMENT: To operate the tool in this manner, first position the contact trip on the work surface, WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER. Depress the contact trip until the nose touches the work surface and then pull the trigger to drive a fastener. Do not press the tool against the work with extra force. Instead, allow the tool to recoil off the work surface to avoid a second unwanted fastener. Remove your finger from the trigger after each operation.

B. RAPID FASTENER OPERATION: To operate the tool in this manner, hold the tool with the contact trip pointing towards but not touching the work surface. Pull the trigger and then tap the contact trip against the work surface using a bouncing motion. Each depression of the contact trip will cause a fastener to be driven.

The operator must not hold the trigger pulled on contact trip 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 trip tool may bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted second fastener may be driven, possibly causing injury.

3.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.

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.
