Bostitch GCN40T, Safety & Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 16 / 240

MAINTENANCE INTERVALS
Maintenance intervals for the tools can vary
depending upon the environment the tool is being
operated in, the application it is being used for and
the volume of nails that are being driven. For
example, if it is being used in dirty and dusty
conditions for high volume nailing, maintenance will
be required more regularly rather than in clean
conditions with low volumes of nails.
The chart that follows has been produced as a guide
to help you establish the maintenance intervals for
the tools. If you experience an excessive build up of
debris within the tool between cleans, reduce the
maintenance intervals. If the tool does not require
cleaning within the schedule you have established,
then you may be able to extend the maintenance
intervals. If you have any questions regarding the
above please contact your local distributor for help
and advice.

FILTER CLEANING
The ‘fig’ references for this are supplied on the
seperate sheet ‘Filter Cleaning / Tool Cleaning &
Lubrication Guide’ for easy reference.
When working on the tools, do not lose any parts of
the disassembled tool and use only genuine Stanley
Bostitch parts to ensure proper tool operation and
safety.
1. Before cleaning, check that the tool has cooled
down completely, and then remove all nails, the fuel
cell and the battery from the tool (Fig. 25).
2. Using a 4mm hex key, remove and retain the hex
socket head bolt (Fig. 26) (M5 x 14).
3. Tilt back the top cover (Fig. 27).
4. Remove the filter from inside the top cover (Fig. 28).
5. Remove the dust and rubbish from the filter with
Bostitch cleaner [SB-TC1]. Ensure that the filter is dry
and free from contamination. Replace the filter and
filter cover (Fig. 29).
6. Set the motor lead wire and the spark plug lead
wire (Fig. 30).
A) Check that the lead wires are inside the rib.
B) Check that the lead wires are not trapped by the
cover.
C) Check the position of the lead wire setting position
7. Check that the filter isn’t damaged. If damaged,
replace the filter with a new one (part no. 192103)
making sure none of the leads are trapped (Fig. 31).
8. Replace the top cover, ensuring that none of the
leads are trapped (Fig. 32).
9. Replace the socket head bolt (Fig. 33).
10. Always carry out 5-10 test cycles of the tool on
waste material before using on a finished surface to
expel any cleaning material residue [SB-TC1] (Fig.
34).
