No flammable gas, liquid or other

flammable objects at worksite.

Clear the area of children or

unauthorized personnel.

AIR SUPPLY

DANGER

lNEVER use oxygen or

other bottled gases.

Explosion may occur.

WARNING

Never connect Stapler to pressure

which potentially exceeds 200 psi (13.7

bar 14 kgf/cm

Never use non relieving coupler on

Stapler.

1. Power source

Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as

a power source for this Stapler.

Air compressors used to supply compressed air

to this Stapler must comply with the requirements

of the latest version of ANSI Standard B 19.3

“Safety Standard For Compressors For Process

Industries.”

Moisture or oil in the air compressor may

accelerate wear and corrosion in the Stapler.

Drain daily.

2. Filter-Regulator-Lubricator

Use a regulator with a pressure range of 0 – 120

psi (0 – 8.3 bar 0 – 8.5 kgf/cm

Filter-regulator-lubricator units supply an optimum

condition for the Stapler and extend the Stapler

life. These units should always be used.

Filter .............. The filter removes moisture and dirt

mixed in compressed air.

Drain daily unless fitted with an

automatic drain.

Keep the filter clean by regular

maintenance.

Regulator ...... The regulator controls the operating

pressure for safe operation of the

Stapler.

Inspect the regulator before

operation to be sure it operates

properly.

Lubricator ..... The lubricator supplies an oil mist

to the Stapler.

Inspect the lubricator before

operation to be sure the supply of

lubricant is adequate.

WARNING

Keep your finger off the trigger except

during fastening operation, because

serious injury could result if the push

lever accidentally contacts you or others

in work area.

Keep hands and body away from the

discharge area. The Stapler with contact

trip mechanism may bounce from the

recoil of driving a fastener and

unwanted subsequent fastener may be

driven, possibly causing injury.

Some types of loaded staples can spark

out of the muzzle during a staple driving

operation. Exercise caution!

DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM STAPLER.

Choose a suitable position for the adjuster.

NOTE:

The staple might not drive deep enough if using

high pressure with the adjuster set upwards

(shallow side) due to factors such as the material

hardness or staple type.

If that happens, reduce pressure and set the

adjuster to lowest position so the staple drives in

at a good position.

After stapling:

1) disconnect air hose from the Stapler;

2) remove all staples from the Stapler;

3) supply 5 – 10 drops of Hitachi pneumatic tool

lubricant into the air plug on the Stapler; and

4) open the petcock on the air compressor tank

to drain any moisture.

ADJUSTING THE STAPLING DEPTH

WARNING

When adjusting the Adjuster, be sure to

remove your finger from the trigger and

disconnect the air hose from the stapler.

To assure that each staple penetrates to the same depth,

be sure that:

1) the air pressure to the Stapler remains constant

(regulator is installed and working properly), and

2) the Stapler is always held firmly against the

workpiece.

If staples are driven too deep or shallow into the

workpiece, adjust the stapling in the following order.

NOTE:

If all warnings and instructions are followed, safe

operation is possible with two systems:

SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM,

CONTACT

ACTUATION MECHANISM.

Always handle staples and package carefully. If

staples are dropped, collating bond may be broken,

which will cause mis-feeding and jamming.

The SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM

may reduce the possibility of bodily injury to you or

others in the work area compared to the CONTACT

ACTUATION MECHANISM. This is because it is less

likely to drive an unwanted nail if you keep the trigger

pulled and accidentally bump the push lever against

yourself or others.

The SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM

may also reduce the speed of operation compared to

the CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM. The SINGLE

SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM is

recommended to inexperienced users.
