To set up your Bostitch CWC100 Compressor, first ensure it's placed on a stable, level surface. Connect the compressor to a power source and attach the air hose. Check that all connections are secure before turning on the unit.
Regular maintenance includes checking the oil level monthly, cleaning the air filter every three months, and inspecting hoses and connections for wear or damage every six months.
If the compressor doesn't start, check the power supply and ensure the unit is plugged in. Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped and inspect the power cord for damage.
If the compressor is not building pressure, inspect for leaks in the air hose or connections. Ensure the drain valve is closed and the pressure switch is functioning correctly.
To change the oil, turn off the compressor and let it cool. Remove the oil fill cap and drain plug to empty the old oil. Replace the drain plug and fill with the recommended oil, then secure the fill cap.
Use a high-quality, non-detergent air compressor oil, typically SAE 30 or 20W ISO 68, as specified in the user manual.
To reduce noise, ensure the compressor is on a stable surface and consider using a rubber mat underneath. Regular maintenance, such as tightening loose parts, can also help minimize noise.
If the compressor shuts off unexpectedly, check for overheating. Ensure the cooling vents are clean and unobstructed, and verify that the pressure switch is set correctly.
The air filter should be inspected monthly and replaced every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage and environmental conditions.
Always wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Ensure the compressor is properly grounded and never exceed the recommended pressure settings. Regularly inspect for wear and damage.
