Air Supply And Connections - Bostitch TU-216 Serie 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. (10.34 bar) working pressure rating or
150 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 - 8.6 bar) is required to
control the operating pressure for safe operation of this tool. Do not connect this tool to
air pressure which can potentially exceed 200 p.s.i. (13.8 bar) as tool may fracture or
burst, 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.
