SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT READ CAREFULLY: It is important that all operators read and understand all sections of this
Tool Technical Data manual and the separate Safety and Operating Instruction Manual which come with this
tool. Failure to do so could result in you or others in the working area to be seriously injured.
WARNING! Eye protection in accordance with 89/686/EEC, and with equal or greater grade than defined in
EN166 should be used. However all aspects of operators work, environment and other type/s of machinery being
used, should also be considered when selecting any personal protection equipment. Note: Non-side shielded
spectacles and face shields alone do not provide adequate protection.
WARNING! To prevent accidental injuries:
•
Never place a hand or any other part of the body in fastener discharge area of tool.
•
Never point tool at yourself or anyone whether it contains fasteners or not.
•
Never engage in horseplay.
•
Never pull the trigger unless the nose is directed towards the work.
•
Always handle the tool with care.
•
Use the Bostitch tool only for the purpose for which it was designed, such as: the finishing around doors,
windows and edging; draw bottoms, cabinet backs and cabinet making; picture framing and furniture trim.
These tools should not be used for anything other than wood to wood applications.
•
Do not pull the trigger or depress the trip mechanism whilst loading the tool.
•
To prevent accidental actuation and possible injury, always disconnect air supply.
1. Before making adjustments. 2. When servicing the tool. 3. When clearing a jam. 4. When tool is not in use. 5.
When moving to a different work area, as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
•
Read the additional Safety & Operating instructions booklet before using tool.
•
Do not use oxygen and combustible gases as an energy source for pneumatically operated tools.
•
The operation of this tool can cause sparks and act as a source of ignition for flammable fuels and gases.

LOADING THE TOOL

1. Depress magazine release button and pull back magazine. (Fig. 1 & 2)
2. With magazine fully open, insert fasteners. Points must be against bottom of magazine. (Fig. 3)
3. Push magazine forward. Continue pushing until latch is engaged. (Fig. 4)
Note: Use only fasteners recommended by Stanley Bostitch for use in Stanley Bostitch Tools or which meet
Stanley Bostitch specifications.

OPERATING PRESSURE

Select the operating pressure within this range for best fastener performance. Caution: Do not exceed the
recommended operating pressure.
TU-216-2330-E & TU-216-1825-E: 70 to 100 p.s.i. (4.9 to 7.1 BAR).
MB2140-E: 56 to 100 p.s.i. (3.9 to 6.9 BAR).
TOOL OPERATION (TU-216-2330-E / TU-216-1825-E)
The trigger operated tool is operated by first actuating the trigger under the handgrip (Fig. 5A), followed by actuating
the trigger under the valve, as shown (Fig. 5B). The Tool will actuate each time the trigger under the valve is
actuated until the trigger under the hand grip is released.
TOOL OPERATION (MB2140-E)
The common operating procedure on "Contact Trip" tools is for the operator to actuate the safety trip 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 safety trip and if unintentionally allowed to re-contact the
work surface with the trigger still actuated (finger still holding the trigger pulled) an unwanted second fastener will
be driven.
Warning: Tools must NOT be used in Contact Trip mode where changing from one working position to
another involves the use of ladders, stairs or similar structures such as roofs.
