AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
D
o not use oxygen, combustible gases, or bottled gases as a power source for this tool as tool
may explode,possibly causinginjury.
FITTINGS:
Installamale plugonthe toolwhichisfree flowing andwhich willreleaseairpressurefromthetoolwhen disconnected
from the supply source.
HOSES:
Air hoses should havea minimum of 150 p.s.i.(10.6 kg/cm
2
) working pressure rating or 150 percentof 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.
SUPPLY SOURCE:
Use only clean regulated compressed air as a power source for this tool. NEVER USE OXYGEN, COMBUSTIBLE
GASES, OR BOTTLED GASES, AS A POWER SOURCE FORTHISTOOL ASTOOL MAY EXPLODE.
REGULATOR:
A pressure regulatorwith an operating pressure of 0 - 125p.s.i.(0- 8.79KG/CM
2
) is required to control the operating
pressurefor safe operation of thistool.Do notconnect thistool to airpressure which can potentially exceed200p.s.i.
(14 KG/CM
2
) as tool may fracture or burst, possibly causing injury.
OPERATING PRESSURE:
Donotexceed recommendedmaximum operating pressureastoolwear willbegreatlyincreased.Theairsupplymust
be capable of maintaining the operating pressure at the tool. Pressure drops in the air supply can reduce the tool’s
driving power.Refer to “TOOL SPECIFICATIONS”for setting the correct operatingpressure forthe tool.
FILTER:
Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of wear in pneumatic tools. A filter will helpto getthe best performance
and minimum wear from the tool.The filter must have adequate flow capacity for the specific installation.The filter has to

maintenanceof yourfilter.A dirty and clogged filterwillcausea pressure drop which will reduce the tool’s performance.
LUBRICATION
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best performance. Use BOSTITCH Air Tool Lubricant, Mobil
Velocite#10,orequivalent.Do not usedetergent oiloradditives astheselubricants willcauseacceleratedwear tothe
sealsand bumpers in thetool, resultingin poor tool performance andfrequent tool maintenance.Only a few drops of
oil at atime is necessary.Too much oil will only collect inside the tool and will be noticeablein the exhaust cycle.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION:
Forcoldweatheroperation, nearandbelowfreezing,themoistureinthe air linemayfreezeandpreventtooloperation.
We recommend the use of BOSTITCH winter formula air toollubricantor permanentantifreeze (ethylene glycol)asa
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.
