Air Supply: Fittings, Hoses, Filters, Air Consumption, Regulators, Operating Pressure, Setting Correct Pressure; Lubrication - Bostitch SB-150SX Manual De Operación Y De Mantenimiento

Do not use oxygen, combustible gases, or bottled gases as a power
source for this tool as tool may explode, possibly causing injury.
FITTINGS:
Install a male plug on the tool which is free flowing and which will release air pressure from the
tool when disconnected from the supply source.
HOSES:
Air hoses should have a minimum of 150 p.s.i. (10.6 kg/cm
percent of 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 FOR THIS
TOOL AS TOOL MAY EXPLODE.
REGULATOR:
A pressure regulator with an operating pressure of 0 - 125 p.s.i. (0 - 8.79 kg/cm
to control the operat iing 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
possibly causing injury.
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:
Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of wear in pneumatic tools. A 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.
connection will lubricate the internal parts. Use BOSTITCH Air Tool Lubricant, Mobil Velocite #10, 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.
If no airline lubricator is used, add oil during use into the air fitting on the tool once or twice a day. 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 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.
