Pneumatic Flexco® XP™Staple Fastener System
Operational Instructions
Set-Up Information
Operating Pressure:
65 to 101 p.s.i./4.5-7.0 bar
Select the operating pressure within this range for best fastener performance. DO NOT EXCEED THIS RECOMMENDED
OPERATING PRESSURE.
Air Supply-Pressure and Volume:
Air volume is as important as air pressure. e air volume supplied to the tool may be inadequate because of undersize
fittings and hoses, or from the effects of dirt and water in the system. Restricted air flow will prevent the tool from receiving
an adequate volume of air, even though the pressure reading is high. e results will be slow operation, mis-drives or reduced
driving power. Before evaluating tool problems for these symptoms, trace the air supply from the tool to the supply source for
restrictive connectors, swivel fittings, low points containing water and anything else that would prevent full volume flow of air
to the tool.
Air Consumption:
Tool requires 7 SCFM (where the pressure is at 14.7 psia and the temperature is at 72 degrees F (22.2 C)) or 198 L/m of free
air to operate at the rate of 20 fasteners per minute, at 80 p.s.i. (5.6 kg/cm2).
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. e filter must have adequate flow capacity for the specific installation. e 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.
Lubrication:
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best performance. Use 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 in the tool,
resulting in poor tool performance and frequent tool maintenance. Only a few drops of oil at a time is necessary. Too
muchoil in the tool will cause “seal swell” and the tool may not function properly. To maintain tool performance, always use
air regular/filter and keep the tool lubricated.
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 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.
Hoses:
Air hoses should have a minimum of 150 p.s.i. (10.6 kg/cm2) working pressure rating or 150 percent of the maximum
pressure that could be produced in the air system. e 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.
Pneumatic Integrity:
Do not use a tool that leaks air or does not function properly. Notify your nearest FLEXCO representative if your tool
continues to experience functional problems.
