IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - FOR USING NAILERS

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS

●

General

To reduce the risks of electric shock, ﬁ re, and injury to persons, READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE

USING THE TOOL.

DANGER

1. OPERATORS AND OTHERS IN WORK AREA

MUST WEAR EYE PROTECTION (SAFETY

GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS).

When operating the Nailer, always wear

safety glasses with side shields, and

make sure others in work area wear

safety glasses, too.

Safety glasses must conform to the

requirements of American National

Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1 and

provide protection against ﬂ ying particles

both from the front and side.

Ordinary eyeglasses do not provide

adequate protection.

The employer must enforce the use of

safety glasses by the Nailer operator and

others in work area.

WARNING

3. NEVER POINT TOOL AT YOURSELF OR OTHERS

IN WORK AREA.

Always assume that the Nailer contains

fasteners.

Never point the Nailer toward yourself or

others, whether it contains fasteners or

not.

If fasteners are mistakenly driven, it can

lead to severe injuries.

Never engage in horseplay with the

Nailer.

Respect the Nailer as a working

implement.

2. NEVER USE REACTIVE GASES OR OTHER

BOTTLED GASES. EXPLOSION MAY OCCUR.

Never use reactive gases such as

oxygen, combustible gases or any other

bottled gases as a power source for the

Nailer.

Use of the above gases is dangerous, as

the Nailer will explode.

Use only clean, dry, regulated

compressed air.

4. DO NOT PLACE FINGER ON TRIGGER AND KEEP

FINGERS AWAY FROM TRIGGER WHEN NOT

DRIVING FASTENERS TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL

DISCHARGE.

Never carry the Nailer with ﬁ nger on Trigger since

you could drive a fastener unintentionally and injure

yourself or someone else.

Always carry the Nailer by the handle only.

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, touching

the Push Lever, 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 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 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 double ﬁ re and 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. In “CONTACT

ACTUATION MECHANISM”, if push lever is

allowed to re-contact work surface before the

trigger is released, an unintended discharge of a

nail will occur. In order to avoid this undesirable

double ﬁ re,

○

Intermittent operation (Trigger ﬁ re)

1

Pull the trigger rapidly and ﬁ rmly.

2

Release the trigger QUICKLY.

SAFETY — Continued

WARNING

7

English

○

Continuous operation (Push lever ﬁ re)

1

Do not press the Nailer against the wood with

excessive force.

2

Separate the Nailer from the wood as it recoils

after nailing.

4) 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 Push Lever before use. Make sure the

Push Lever operates properly, and is not inoperable,

disconnected, or altered. (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, or otherwise cause

the Push Lever to become inoperable.

(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 body 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) 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.

(11) Do not lift, pull or lower the Nailer by the hose.

(12) Do not disconnect air hose from Nailer with

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

connected to An air supply.

(13) Handle Nailer correctly. Operate the Nailer

according to this Manual. Never allow the Nailer to

be operated by children, individuals unfamiliar with its

operation or unauthorized personnel.

(14) Never use Nailer for applications other than

those speciﬁ ed in this manual.

(15) Never modify or alter a Nailer. Doing so may cause

it to malfunction and personal injuries may result.

(16) Do not remove Dust Cover. Fragments of wire

collating fasteners can ﬂ y out.

(17) Close Nail Guide and do not open it during

operation. If driving fasteners with the Nail Guide

open, the fasteners can be driven away from the

workpiece.

Air compressor size formula

Amount of air required

=number of Nailers

× average nails driven each minute per Nailer

× air consumption at given air pressure

× safety factor (always 1.2)

Example: 2 Nailers (NV83A2) operating at 100 psi

driving 30 nails per minute

Amount of air required

=2 × 30 × .084 (2.4) × 1.2

=6.0 CFM (ft

3

/min) (173 ltr/min)

After making the calculations as shown above, you

should ﬁ nd a compressor providing 6.0 CFM of air

that is required.

LUBRICATION

It is important that the Nailer be properly lubricated.

Without proper lubrication, the Nailer will not work

properly and parts will wear prematurely.

○

Use Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant.

Do not use detergent oil or additives. These lubricants

will harm the O-rings and other rubber parts. This will

cause the Nailer to malfunction.

○

Filter-regulator-lubricator units should always be

used.

Keep the lubricator ﬁ lled with Hitachi pneumatic tool

lubricant.

○

If a lubricator is not available, supply 5 – 10 drops of

Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant into the air plug on

the Nailer twice a day.

COLD WEATHER CARE

○

Do not store the Nailer in a cold weather environment.

Keep the Nailer in a warm area until beginning the

work.

○

If the Nailer is already cold, bring it in a warm area

and allow the Nailer to warm up before use.

1

Reduce the air pressure to 64 psi (4.4 bar

4.5 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.

CAUTION

●

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

TESTING THE NAILER

DANGER

●

Operators and others in work

area MUST wear safety

glasses with side shields

which conforms to ANSI Z87.1

speciﬁ cations.

Ordinary eyeglasses do not

provide adequate protection.

WARNING

●

Never use Nailer unless push 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.

ADJUSTING AIR PRESSURE

WARNING

●

Do not exceed

120 psi (8.3 bars

8.5 kgf/cm

2

).

Adjust the air pressure at recommended operating

pressure 70 – 120 psi (4.9 – 8.3 bar 5 – 8.5 kgf/cm

This Hitachi nailer has a STANDARD CONTACT TRIP

MECHANISM (Bounce Fire). An OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL

TRIP MECHANISM kit (SINGLE SHOT) is available as

order part number 876762.

THE STANDARD CONTACT TRIP MECHANISM (Bounce

Fire) is for use where rapid fastener placement is desired

and must be operated in accordance with the following

“METHODS OF OPERATION”.

18

English

METHODS OF OPERATION

This Nailer is equipped with the push lever and does

not operate unless the push lever is depressed (upward

position).

There are two methods of operation to drive nails with this

Nailer.

They are:

1. Intermittent operation (Trigger ﬁ re):

2. Continuous operation (Push lever ﬁ re):

(1) Intermittent operation (Trigger ﬁ re)

1

Position the nail outlet on the workpiece with

ﬁ nger oﬀ the trigger.

2

Depress the push lever ﬁ rmly until it is completely

depressed.

3

Pull the trigger to drive a nail.

4

Remove ﬁ nger from the trigger.

To drive another nail, move the Nailer along the

workpiece and repeat this procedure.

2

Push Lever

Trigger

3

(2) Continuous operation (Push lever ﬁ re)

1

Pull the trigger with the Nailer oﬀ the workpiece.

2

Depress the push lever against the workpiece to

drive a nail.

3

Move the Nailer along the workpiece with a

bouncing motion.

Each depression of the push lever will drive a nail.

As soon as the desired number of nails have been

driven, remove ﬁ nger from the trigger.

Previously pull

the 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. The nailer 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 nails can spark out of the

muzzle during a nail driving operation. Exercise

caution!

THE OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM

(SINGLE SHOT PARTS) is for use where precision

fastener placement is desired and must be operated in

accordance with the following “Method of Operation”.

You must ﬁ rst depress the push lever (upward position)

where you want to drive a nail and then pull the trigger.

After the each nail is driven, completely release the

trigger and lift the tool oﬀ the work surface.

An OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM

may reduce the possibility of bodily injury to you or

others in the work area. 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. An OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP

MECHANISM may also reduce the speed of operation

compared to the standard contact trip mechanism.

NOTE:

●

Both STANDARD CONTACT TRIP MECHANISM and

OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM are

safe if used as described above and accroding to all

warnings and instructions.

19

English

●

Always handle nails and package carefully.

If dropped, the collated nails may break or come

loose. In such cases, do not use the nails because,

if used in that condition, nail feed may become faulty

and result in missed nails or jamming of the nails.

●

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.

ADJUSTING THE NAILING DEPTH

To assure that each nail penetrates to the same depth, be

sure that:

1) the air pressure to the Nailer remains constant

(regulator is installed and working properly), and

2) the Nailer is always held ﬁ rmly against the workpiece.

If nails are driven too deep or shallow into the workpiece,

adjust the nailing depth in the following order.

1

DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM NAILER.

2

If nails are driven too deep, turn the adjuster to the

shallow side.

If nails are driven too shallow, turn the adjuster to the

deep side.

3

Stop turning the adjuster when a suitable position is

reached for a nailing test.

4

Connect the air hose.

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.

Perform a nailing test.
