Cleaning The Tool, Tool Operation - Bostitch SF150C Manual De Operación Y De Mantenimiento

CLEANING THE SF150C
It is recommended to clean the nose of the tool periodically to remove gypsum dust, dirt, and other
contaminants which may prevent the centering jaws (see Fig.A) from moving freely. This should be
accomplished using clean, dry air from a compressor. (Fig.B)
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.
NOTE: solvents sprayed on the nose to clean and free up the trip may have the opposite effect! The buildup
of gypsum dust and other contaminants may be accelerated. Dry operation is better as noted above.
Centering
Jaws
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.
