Operating Pressure; Lubrication; Loading The Tool - Bostitch BTF83PT Manual De Operación Y De Mantenimiento

REGULATOR:
A pressure regulator with an operating pressure of 0 - 125 p.s.i.g. (0 - 8.79 kg/cm
operat ing pressure for safe operation of this tool. Do not connect this tool to air pressure which can potentially
exceed 200 p.s.i. (14 kg/cm

OPERATING PRESSURE:

Do not exceed recommended maximum operating pressure as tool wear will be greatly increased. The air
supply must 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 operating pressure
for the tool.
FILTER:
An in-line filter will help to get the best performance and minimum wear from the tool. The filter must have
adequate flow capacity for the specific installation. The filter has to be kept clean to be effective in providing
clean compressed air to the tool. Consult the manufacturer's instructions on proper maintenance of your filter.
A dirty and clogged filter will cause a pressure drop which will reduce the tool's performance.
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best performance. Use BOSTITCH Air Tool Lubricant,
PREMOIL, 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, or permanent
antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather lubricant.
NOTICE: 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.
NOTICE: Some commercial air line drying liquids are harmful to "O"-rings and seals – do not use these
low temperature air dryers without checking compatibility.
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 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:
• Connect tool to air supply before loading fasteners to prevent a fastener from
being fired when connecting
• 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.
1. Slide pusher to the base of the magazine to lock it in place.
2. Hold the nailer with the magazine facing downward and insert the appropriate collated nail sticks into the
back of the magazine.
NOTE: See "Tool Specifications" to determine appropriate nail sizes and angles.
