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 combustible 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. Focus on your work and use common

sense when working with the Nailer. Do not use

the Nailer while tired, after having consumed

drugs or alcohol, or while under the inﬂ uence of

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)

– Disconnect the Nailer from

the air source before making adjustments, doing

Nailer maintenance, clearing jams, attaching

or removing the nose cap, when not in use,

leaving work area, leaving the Nailer outside of

the operator’s supervision or control, loading,

or unloading the Nailer, handing it to another

person, elevating, lowering or otherwise moving

the Nailer to a new location. 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)

– Risk of hearing loss. Wear

hearing protection.

Hearing protection shall have a Noise Reduction

Rating (NRR) determined in accordance with US

Environmental Protection Agency rules that is

appropriate for noise exposure.

(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

) – Drive Nails into proper work

surface only. Do not drive nail into other nails. 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.

6

English

(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.

(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 may aﬀ ect 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) Do not use the Nailer that is not in proper

working order. Tags and physical segregation

shall be used for control.

(9) 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.

(

10

) 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

) if a

regulator fails.

Over pressurizing the Nailer is able to result in

bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of the Nailer

or serious injury to persons.

DO NOT EXCEED 100 psi (6.9 bar 7 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 reactive gases such as 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 unwanted ejection or being hit by

the Nailer due to spring back (“recoil”).

After driving a nail, the Nailer may recoil causing it to

move away from the work surface.

To reduce risk of injury always manage recoil by:

1) always maintaining control of the Nailer.

2) allowing recoil to move the Nailer away from work

surface.

3) not resisting recoil such that the Nailer will be

forced back into the work surface.

4) pulling the trigger rapidly and ﬁ rmly, and releasing

it QUICKLY.

5) keeping face and body parts away from the Nailer.

(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 double trigger before use.

The Nailer will not operate unless you pull the lock

lever before you pull the trigger.

serious injury can result if the fasteners are deﬂ ected

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

entry.

(7) When working close to an edge of a workpiece

or at steep angles, or driving fasteners into

thin workpiece use care to minimize chipping,

splitting or splintering, or free ﬂ ight, ricochet or

piercing of fasteners, which may cause injury.

(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) Use extra caution when driving the Nailer into

existing walls or other blind areas to prevent

contact with hidden objects or persons on other

side (eg., wires, pipes).

(

10

) 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.

kgf/cm

2

).

2

Remove all nails from the Nailer.

3

Connect the air hose and free-ﬁ re (blank-ﬁ re) the

Nailer.

The lowered air pressure will be enough to free-

ﬁ re the Nailer.

Slow speed operation tends to warm up the

moving part.

12

English

CAUTION

●

Do not free-ﬁ re the Nailer at high pressure.

TESTING THE NAILER

DANGER

●

Operators and others

in work area must

wear safety glapsses

with side shields

which conforms

to ANSI Z87.1

speciﬁ cations.

adequate protection.

WARNING

●

Never use Nailer unless lock lever is

operating properly.

Before actually beginning the nailing work, test the Nailer

by using the checklist below. Conduct the tests in the

following order.

If abnormal operation occurs, stop using the Nailer and

contact a Hitachi authorized service center immediately.

(1) Disconnect air hose from Nailer.

Remove all nails from Nailer.

□ All crews must be tightened.

If any screws are loose, tighten them.

□ The lock lever and trigger must move smoothly.

Do not connect air

hose

(2) Adjust the air pressure to 64 psi (4.4 bars 4.5 kgf/cm

2

).

Connect the air hose.

Do not load any nails in the Nailer.

□ The Nailer must not leak air.

Hold the Nailer downward, without touching the lock
