Bostitch CAP2080WB Compressor F.A.Q.

How do I properly set up the Bostitch CAP2080WB Compressor for the first use?

To set up the Bostitch CAP2080WB Compressor, first ensure that the power switch is in the 'Off' position. Attach the air hose to the compressor's air outlet and secure it tightly. Plug the compressor into a grounded electrical outlet. Turn the power switch to the 'On' position and allow the compressor to reach its cutoff pressure before use.

What should I do if the compressor does not start?

If the compressor does not start, ensure that it is plugged into a working electrical outlet and the power switch is 'On'. Check the circuit breaker and reset if necessary. Verify that the tank pressure is below the cutoff pressure. If the problem persists, consult the user manual for further troubleshooting steps.

How can I maintain the air filter on my Bostitch CAP2080WB Compressor?

To maintain the air filter, first disconnect the compressor from the power source. Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter element. Clean the filter with mild soap and water, or replace it if it appears damaged. Reinstall the filter and cover before using the compressor again.

What is the recommended frequency for draining the tank?

It's recommended to drain the tank after each use to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to corrosion inside the tank. Ensure the compressor is turned off and unplugged, then open the drain valve at the bottom of the tank to release any accumulated water.

How can I reduce noise coming from the compressor during operation?

To reduce noise, ensure the compressor is placed on a stable, level surface. Use rubber pads or mats underneath the compressor to dampen vibrations. Regularly check and tighten any loose parts or fittings. If noise persists, inspect the compressor for worn or damaged components.

What should I do if the compressor's pressure does not build up?

If pressure does not build up, check for leaks in the air hose and connections using a soap and water solution. Ensure the tank drain valve is fully closed. Inspect the intake filter for blockages. If the issue remains unresolved, it may indicate a problem with the compressor's pump or seals.

Is it normal for the compressor to cycle on and off frequently?

Frequent cycling can occur if there is an air leak in the system. Check all connections and fittings for leaks. It may also be due to a faulty pressure switch or an undersized tank for the current demand. Adjust the pressure settings if necessary and ensure all components are functioning correctly.

How do I replace the pressure switch on the Bostitch CAP2080WB Compressor?

To replace the pressure switch, first disconnect the compressor from the power source. Release all air from the tank. Remove the cover of the pressure switch and disconnect the electrical wires. Unscrew the old switch and replace it with a new one, reconnecting the wires as they were. Ensure all connections are secure before reassembling the unit.

What type of oil is recommended for the Bostitch CAP2080WB Compressor?

The Bostitch CAP2080WB is an oil-free compressor and does not require oil for operation. Regular maintenance should focus on keeping the unit clean and ensuring all components are in good working condition.

How can I extend the lifespan of my Bostitch CAP2080WB Compressor?

To extend the lifespan of your compressor, perform regular maintenance, including cleaning the air filter, checking for leaks, and draining the tank after each use. Avoid overloading the compressor and ensure it is used within its rated capacity. Store it in a clean, dry environment when not in use.
