TOOL SPECIFICATIONS
All dimensions in inches unless otherwise specified.
Operating Pressure:
70 to 120 p.s.i.g. (4.9 to 8.43 kg/cm
2
). Select the operating pressure within in this range for best fastener
performance.
DO NOT EXCEED THIS RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE.
Air Consumption:
The SL1838BC requires 2.83 cubic feet per minute or C.F.M. (80.1 liters per minute or LT/MIN) of free air at
80PSI (5.6 kg/cm
2
) to operate at a rate of 60 fasteners per minute. To determine the appropriately sized air
compressor, take the actual rate at which the tool will be run and compare the required C.F.M. (LT/MIN) to
the compressors free air delivery (C.F.M./ LT/MIN) at 80 PSI (5.6 kg/cm
2
).
For example, if your fastener usage averages 30 fasteners per minute, you need 50% of the tool’s C.F.M.
required to operate the tool at the rate of 60 fasteners per minute. In this case, be sure that your air
compressor can deliver a minimum of 1.42 C.F.M. (40.2 LT/MIN) at 80 PSI(5.6 kg/cm
2
) for optimum
performance.
