Air Supply And Connections; Lubrication - Bostitch SB-150SLBC 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
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 - 8.79 KG/CM
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. (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:
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. Oil added through the air line
connection will lubricate the internal parts. Use BOSTITCH Air Tool Lubricant, Renolin HPL 46, 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.
