PC5000 TOOL SPECIFICATIONS
All screws and nuts are metric.
FASTENER SPECIFICATIONS:
TOOL AIR FITTING:
This tool uses a free-flow connector plug, 1/4” N.P.T.The minimum inside diameter
should be .190" (4.8mm).The fitting must be capable of discharging tool air pressure
when disconnected from the air supply.
OPERATING PRESSURE:
The operating pressure of the PC5000 tool is 60 to 100 p.s.i. (4.2 to 7.1 kg/cm
2
). Select
the operating pressure within this range for best fastener performance.
DO NOT EXCEED THIS RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE.
AIR CONSUMPTION:
Model PC5000 requires 1.8 cubic feet per minute (.050 cubic meters) of free air to
operate at the rate of 100 fasteners per minute, at 80 p.s.i. (5.6kg/cm2).Take the actual
rate at which the tool will be run to determine the amount of air required. For instance, if
your fastener usage averages 50 fasteners per minute, you need 50% of the tool's c.f.m.
of free air which is required for running at 100 fasteners per minute.
BOSTITCH OFFERS THREE TYPES OF OPERATION FOR THIS SERIES TOOL.
CONT
ACT TRIP
The common operating procedure on “Contact Trip” tools is for the operator to contact the
work 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 recontact the work surface with the trigger still actuated (finger
still holding trigger pulled) an unwanted second fastener will be driven.
SEQUENTIAL TRIP
The Sequential Trip requires the operator to hold the tool against the work 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 location without the possibility of driving a sec
ond fastener on recoil, as described under “Contact Trip”.
The Sequential Trip Tool has a positive safety advantage because it will not accidentally
drive a fastener if the tool is contacted against the work – or anything else – while the
operator is holding the trigger pulled.
TRIGGER OPERATED
The Trigger Operated model is cycled by actuation of the trigger only. This model does
not have a Contact Arm and is intended for use only where a Contact Arm CANNOT be
used to satisfy the requirements of the application.
The Trigger Operated tool will cycle each time the trigger is actuated.
