SAFETY — Continued

WARNING

When using tools, basic precautions should always be followed, Including the following:

1. Work area

(1) Keep the work area clean and well lighted.

Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the risks

of electric shock, ﬁ re, and injury to persons.

(2) Do not operate the Nailer in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

ﬂ ammable liquids, gases, or dust.

The Nailer is able to create sparks resulting in the

ignition of the dust or fumes.

(3) Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away

while operating the Nailer. Distractions are able to

result in the loss of control of the Nailer.

2. Personal safety

(1) Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating the Nailer.

Do not use the Nailer while tired or under the

inﬂ uence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating the Nailer

increases the risk of injury to persons.

(2) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing,

and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair increases the

risk of injury to persons as a result of being caught in

moving parts.

(3) Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the switch

is oﬀ before connecting to the air supply. Do

not carry the Nailer with your ﬁ nger on the switch or

connect the Nailer to the air supply with the switch on.

(4)

WARNING

– Disconnect the Nailer from

the air source before making adjustments, doing

Nailer maintenance, clearing jams, touching

the Push Lever, when not in use, leaving work

area, loading, or unloading the Nailer, handing

it to another person. Never attempt to clear a jam

or repair the Nailer unless you have disconnected

air hose from the Nailer and removed all remaining

fasteners from the Nailer. The Nailer should never be

left unattended since people who are not familiar with

the Nailer might handle it and injure the themselves.

Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of

injury to persons.

(5) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. Proper footing and balance

enables better control of the Nailer in unexpected

situations.

(6) Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid

safety shoes and a hard hat must be used for the

applicable conditions.

(7)

WARNING

– Risk of hearing loss. Wear

ear protection.

(8) Always wear head protection.

Always wear head protection to protect your

head from ﬂ ying objects.

(9) Do not attach the hose or Nailer to your body.

Attach the hose to the structure to reduce the risk of

loss of balance if the hose shifts.

(10)

WARNING

– Place Nailer properly on

workpiece. Do not fasten on top of another fastener.

This is able to cause the fastener to be deﬂ ected and

hit someone, or cause the Nailer to react and result in

a risk of injury to persons.

3. Nailer use and care

(1) Use clamps or another practical way to secure

and support the workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding the work by hand or against the body is

unstable and is able to lead to loss of control.

(2) Do not force the Nailer. Use the correct Nailer for

the application. The correct Nailer will do the job

better and safer at the rate for which the Nailer is

designed.

(3) Do not use the Nailer if the switch does not

turn the Nailer on or oﬀ . Any Nailer that cannot be

controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be

repaired.

Never use Nailer which is defective or operating

abnormally. If the Nailer appears to be operating

unusually, making strange noises, or otherwise

appears defective, stop using it immediately and

arrange for repairs by a Hitachi authorized service

center.

(4) Disconnect the Nailer from the air source before

making any adjustments, changing accessories,

or storing the Nailer. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of starting the Nailer

unintentionally.

6

English

(5) Store the Nailer when it is idle out of reach of

children and other untrained persons. A Nailer is

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

(6) Maintain the Nailer with care. Keep the

Nailer Clean and lubricated for better and safer

performance.

(7) Check for misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition

that aﬀ ects the Nailer's operation.

If damaged, have the Nailer serviced before using.

Because of high air pressure in the Nailer, cracks in

the surface are dangerous. To avoid this, do not drop

the Nailer or strike the Nailer against hard surfaces;

and do not scratch or engrave signs on the Nailer.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained

Nailers. There is a risk of bursting if the Nailer is

damaged.

(8) Use only accessories that are identiﬁ ed by

Hitachi for the speciﬁ c Nailer. Use of an accessory

not intended for use with the speciﬁ c Nailer ,

increases the risk of injury to persons.

(9) Use only those fasteners listed in the

Accessories section of this manual. Fasteners not

identiﬁ ed for use with this Nailer by Hitachi are able to

result in a risk of injury to persons or Nailer damage

when used in this Nailer.

4. Service

(1) Tool service must be performed only by qualiﬁ ed

repair personnel.

(2) When servicing a Nailer, use only identical

replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.

(3) Use only the lubricants supplied with the Nailer

or speciﬁ ed by Hitachi.

5. Air source

(1) Never connect to an air source that is capable of

exceeding 200 psi (13.7 bar 14 kgf/cm

2

).

Over pressurizing the Nailer is able to result in

bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of the Nailer

or serious injury to persons.

DO NOT EXCEED 120 psi (8.3 bar 8.5 kgf/cm

2

).

Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at the

rated pressure or within the rated pressure range as

marked on the Nailer.

Always verify prior to using the Nailer that the air

source has been adjusted to the rated air pressure or

within the rated air-pressure range.

(2) Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible

gases or any bottled gas as an air source for the

Nailer. Such gases are capable of explosion and

serious injury to persons.

6. Others

(1) Be careful of double ﬁ re due to recoil. If the Push

Lever is unintentionally allowed to re-contact the

workpiece following recoil, an unwanted fastener will

be driven. In order to avoid this undesirable double

ﬁ re,

○

Intermittent operation (Trigger ﬁ ring)

CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM, SINGLE

SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM.

1) Pull the trigger rapidly and ﬁ rmly.

○

Continuous operation (Push lever ﬁ ring)

CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM.

1) Do not press the nailer against the wood with

excessive force.

2) Separate the nailer from the wood as it recoils

after nailing.

(2) Never use non relieving coupler on Nailer. If a

non relieving coupler is used on the Nailer, the Nailer

can remain charged with air after disconnecting

and thus will be able to drive a fastener even after

disconnecting. The Nailer and air hose must have a

hose coupling such that all pressure is removed from

the Nailer when the coupling joint is disconnected.

(3) Check Push Lever before use. Make sure the

Push Lever operates properly. (The Push Lever may

be called “Safety”.) Never use the Nailer unless the

Push Lever is operating properly, otherwise the Nailer

could drive a fastener unexpectedly. Do not tamper

with or remove the Push Lever, otherwise the Push

Lever becomes inoperable.

SAFETY — Continued

WARNING

English

(4) Keep all screws and covers tightly in place. Keep

all screws and covers tightly mounted.

Check their condition periodically. Never use the

Nailer if parts are missing or damaged.

(5) Do not load fasteners with Trigger or Push Lever

depressed. When loading fasteners into the Nailer

or when connecting the air hose,

1) do not depress the Trigger;

2) do not depress the Push Lever; and

3) keep the Nailer pointed downward.

(6) Keep hands and feet away from ﬁ ring head

during use. Never place your hands or feet closer

than 8 inches (200 mm) from the ﬁ ring head. A

serious injury can result if the fasteners are deﬂ ected

by the workpiece, or are driven away from the point of

entry.

(7) Do not drive fasteners into thin boards or near

corners and edges of workpiece.

The fasteners can be driven through or away from the

workpiece and hit someone.

(8) Never drive fasteners from both sides of a wall

at the same time. The fasteners can be driven into

and through the wall and hit a person on the opposite

side.

(9) Check for live wires. Avoid the risk of severe

electrical shock by checking for live electrical wires

that may be hidden by walls, ﬂ oors or ceilings. Turn

oﬀ the breaker switch to ensure there are no live

wires.

(10) Never carry Nailer by hose.

(11) Do not disconnect air hose from Nailer with

ﬁ nger on Trigger. The Nailer can ﬁ re when re-

connected to An air supply.

).

Adjust the air pressure at recommended operating

pressure 80 – 120 psi (5.4 – 8.3 bar 5.5 – 8.5 kgf/cm

2

)

according to the length of nails and the hardness of

workpiece.

The correct air pressure is the lowest pressure which will

do the job. Using the Nailer at a higher than required air

pressure unnecessarily over stresses the Nailer.

Trigger

WARNING

●

Keep your ﬁ nger 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. This Hitachi nailer may

bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener

and unwanted subsequent fastener may be

driven, possibly causing injury.

●

Some types of loaded nails can spark out of

the muzzle during a nail driving operation.

Exercise caution!

The SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM

is for use where precision fastener placement is desired.

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.

NOTE:

●

If all warnings and instructions are followed,

safe operation is possible with two systems:

CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM and SINGLE

SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM.

●

Always handle nails and package carefully. If nails

are dropped, collating wire may be broken.

●

After nailing:

1) disconnect air hose from the Nailer;

2) remove all nails from the Nailer;

3) supply 5 – 10 drops of Hitachi pneumatic tool

lubricant into the air plug on the Nailer; and

4) open the petcock on the air compressor tank to

drain any moisture.

CHANGING THE EXHAUST DIRECTION

WARNING

●

When changing the exhaust direction, be

sure to remove your ﬁ nger from the trigger

and disconnect the air hose from the nailer.

The direction of the exhaust vent can be changed by
