FASTENER SPECIFICATIONS:

F28WW: Uses a 28° wire collated stick nail in lengths of 2” to 3-1/2”(50 - 90mm) and shank diameters of .113”to

.131”(2.8 - 3.3mm)

F21PL/F21PL2:

-with standard framing contact arm installed:Uses a 21° plasticcollated full round head sticknails,in lengths of 2” to 3-1/2” (50-90mm)and shank diameters of .113” to .162” (2.8 - 4.1mm)

-(Included with F21PL ONLY) with metal connectorattachmentinstalled: Uses a 23° plastic collatedfull round head metal connector nails, in lengths of 1-1/2” and 2-1/2” (38 - 64mm) and shank diameters of .131”, .148” and .162”.

-MCN-KIT3 must be purchased separately for the F21PL2 to be used for fastening metal connectors.

NOTE:Use only one stick of metal connector nails at a time.

F33PT/ F33PTSM:

- with standard framing contact arm installed:Uses a 33° paper collated sticknails,in lengths of 2” to 3-1/2”(50- 90mm) and shank diametersof .113” to .131” (2.8 - 3.3mm)

-with metal connector attachment installed:Uses a 35° paper collated full round head metal connector nails,

in lengths of 1-1/2”and 2-1/2” (38 - 64mm) and shank diameters of .131”, .148” and .162”.

NOTE:Use only one stick of metal connector nails at a time.

TOOL AIR FITTING:

This tool uses a 1/4”N.P.T. male plug. The insidediametershould be .275” (7mm) or larger.The fitting must be capable of discharging tool air pressure when disconnectedfrom the air supply.

OPERATING PRESSURE:

70 to 120 p.s.i.g. (4.9 to 8.4 kg/cm2). Select the operating pressure within this range for best fastener performance.

DO NOT EXCEEDTHIS RECOMMENDED OPERATINGPRESSURE.

AIR CONSUMPTION:

The F21PL / F21PL2 / F28WW / F33PT / F33PTSMrequires8.7 cubic feet per minute(247 litersper minute) of free air to operateat the rate of 100 nails per minute,at 80 p.s.i.(5.6 kg/cm2). Takethe 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 8.7 c.f.m. (247 liters per minute)which is required to operatethe tool at 100 nails per minute.

OPERATION

BOSTITCH OFFERS TWO MODES OF OPERATION FOR THIS SERIES TOOL.

SEQUENTIALTRIP (Gray trigger):

The Sequential Trip requires the operator to hold the tool against the work surface 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 placement 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 second fastener if the tool is contactedagainst the work – or anything else – while the operator is holding the trigger pulled.

CONTACTTRIP (Blacktrigger):

The common operating procedure on “Contact Trip” tools is for the operator to contact the work surface to actuate the trip mechanism while keeping the trigger pulled, thus driving a fastener each time the work is contacted. This will allow rapid fastener placement on many jobs, such as sheathing, decking and pallet assembly. All pneumatic tools are subject to recoil when driving fasteners. The tool may bounce, releasing the trip, and if unintentionally allowed to re-contact the work surface with the trigger still actuated (finger still holding

trigger pulled) an unwanted second fastener will be driven.
