AIR SUPPLYAND CONNECTIONS

Do not use oxygen, combustiblegases, or bottled gases as a power source for this tool as tool may explode, possiblycausing injury.

FITTINGS:

Install a male plugon the toolwhich is free flowingand whichwillrelease air pressure fromthe toolwhendisconnected from the supply source.

HOSES:

Air hosesshouldhave a minimumof 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.

SUPPLYSOURCE:

Use only clean regulatedcompressed air as a powersource for this tool. NEVER USE OXYGEN,COMBUSTIBLE

GASES, OR BOTTLED GASES,AS A POWERSOURCE FORTHISTOOL ASTOOL MAYEXPLODE.

REGULATOR:

A pressureregulator with an operating pressureof 0 - 125 p.s.i. (0 - 8.79 KG/CM2) is required to control the operating pressure for safeoperationof this tool. Do not connectthis tool to air pressure whichcan potentially exceed200 p.s.i. (14 KG/CM2) as tool may fracture or burst, possibly causing injury.

OPERATING PRESSURE:

Do not exceedrecommendedmaximum operatingpressureas tool wear will be greatlyincreased.The air supply must be capableof maintainingthe operating pressureat 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 supplyare major causes of wear in pneumatic tools. A filter will help to get the best performance and minimum wear from the tool.The filtermust have adequate flow capacity for the specific installation.The filterhas to be kept clean to be effective in providingcleancompressed airto thetool. Consult themanufacturer’s instructionson proper maintenance of your filter.A dirty and clogged filterwill cause a pressuredrop which will reducethe tool’s performance.

LUBRICATION

Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best performance. Use BOSTITCHAir ToolLubricant,Mobil Velocite #10,or equivalent. Do not use detergentoil or additivesas theselubricantswillcauseacceleratedwearto the seals and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool performance and frequent tool maintenance. Only a few dropsof oil at a time is necessary.Toomuch oil will only collectinsidethe tool and will be noticeablein the exhaust cycle.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION:

Forcoldweatheroperation, nearand belowfreezing,the moisture in the air line mayfreezeand preventtooloperation. We recommendthe use of BOSTITCH winterformulaair tool lubricantor permanentantifreeze(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.
