INTRODUCTION The Stanley-Bostitch T55 series staplers are precision-built tools, designed for high speed, high volume stapling. These tools will deliver efficient, dependable service when used correctly and with care. As with any fine power tool, for best performance the manufacturer’s instructions must be followed. Please study this manual before operating the tool and understand the safety warnings and cautions.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS EYE PROTECTION which conforms to ANSI specifications and provides protection against flying particles both from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the operator and others in the work area when loading, operating or servicing this tool. Eye protection is required to guard against flying fasteners and debris, which could cause severe eye injury.
AIR CONSUMPTION: Model T55 requires 2.8 cubic feet per minute (.08 cubic meters) of free air to operate at the rate of 60 fasteners per minute, at 80 p.s.i. (5.6kg/cm2). Take the actual rate at which the tool will be run to determine the amount of air required.
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best performance. Oil added through the air line connection will lubricate the internal parts. Use STANLEY-BOSTITCH Air Tool Lubricant, Mobil Velocite #10, 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.
