Bostitch LPF21PL manual Lubrication, Loading the Tool, Cold Weather Operation

LUBRICATION

Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best performance. Use BOSTITCH Air Tool Lubricant, PREMOIL-4oz, 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. 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, WINTEROIL-4oz, 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.

LOADING THE TOOL

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.

TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL INJURIES:

•Never place a hand or any other part of the body in nail discharge area of tool while the air supply is connected.

•Never point the tool at anyone else.

•Never engage in horseplay.

•Never pull the trigger unless nose is directed at the work.

•Always handle the tool with care.

•Do not pull the trigger or depress the trip mechanism while loading the tool.
