Duty Cycle - Bostitch CAP6080WB Manual De Operación Y De Mantenimiento

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (continued)
Air Tanks:
Due to condensation associated with the process of compressing air, moisture will build up
inside your compressor's air tank. Drain tanks of moisture daily (See General Maintenance).
Failure to drain moisture from the tanks properly could lead to the formation of rust and
thinning of the steel tank.
WARNING: FAILURE TO REGULARLY DRAIN TANK MAY CAUSE TANK CORROSION AND
RISK OF TANK EXPLOSION, RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY. TO AVOID RISK OF TANK
FAILURE DURING USE, DRAIN TANK AFTER EACH USE OR EVERY FOUR HOURS OF
OPERATION TO PREVENT CONDENSATION BUILD-UP AND TANK CORROSION.
WARNING: DO NOT PERFORM WELDING OR REPAIR OPERATIONS ON THE AIR TANK OF
THIS COMPRESSOR. WELDING ON THE AIR COMPRESSOR TANK CAN SEVERELY IMPAIR
TANK STRENGTH AND CAUSE AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS CONDITION. WELDING ON
THE TANK IN ANY MANNER WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
Ventilation:
WARNING: RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION - DO NOT SPRAY FLAMMABLE LIQUID IN A
CONFINED AREA. SPRAY AREA MUST BE WELL VENTILATED. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE
SPRAYING AND DO NOT SPRAY WHERE SPARK OR FLAME IS PRESENT. KEEP
COMPRESSORS AS FAR FROM SPRAYING AREA AS POSSIBLE.
Risk of Burns:
All air compressors generate heat, even operating under normal conditions.
• To avoid serious burns, never touch the cylinder head parts or tubing during or immediately
after operation.
Safety Valve:
This compressor is equipped with a safety valve that is set to avoid over-pressurization of the
air tanks. This valve is factory pre-set at 140 PSI and will not function unless tank pressure
reaches this pressure. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST OR ELIMINATE THIS SAFETY DEVICE.
ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THIS VALVE COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. If this device
requires service or maintenance, see an Authorized BOSTITCH Service Center.

DUTY CYCLE:

To ensure long life of your BOSTITCH air compressor, do not operate on more than a 50% duty
cycle. If this air compressor pumps air more than 50% of one hour, then the compressor's
capability is less than the air delivery required by the application. Always match the air
volume requirements of the attachment or accessory with the air volume delivery of the
compressor.
