MAINTAINING THE PNEUMATIC TOOL
When working on air tools, note the warnings in this manual and use extra care
evaluating problem tools.
REPLACEMENT PARTS:
BOSTITCH replacement parts are recommended. Do not use modified parts or parts
which will not give equivalent performance to the original equipment.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE FOR SEALS:
When repairing a tool, make sure the internal parts are clean and lubricated. Use Parker “O”-LUBE
or equivalent on all “O”-rings. Coat each “O”-ring with “O”-LUBE before assembling. Use a small
amount of oil on all moving surfaces and pivots. After reassembly add a few drops of
BOSTITCH Air Tool Lubricant through the air line fitting before testing.
AIR SUPPLY-PRESSURE
AND VOLUME:
Air volume is as important as air pressure. The air volume supplied to the tool may be inadequate
because of undersize fittings and hoses, or from the effects of dirt and water in the system.
Restricted air flow will prevent the tool from receiving an adequate volume of air, even though the
pressure reading is high. The results will be slow operation, misfeeds or reduced driving power.
Before evaluating tool problems for these symptoms, trace the air supply from the tool to the supply
source for restrictive connectors, swivel fittings, low points containing water and anything else that
would prevent full volume flow of air to the tool.
