1. Nailing procedures
This Hitachi nailer is equipped with a nailer operation
switching device.
Use SINGLE ACTUATION MECHANISM or CONTACT
ACTUATION MECHANISM in accordance with the
work to be performed.
(1) Intermittent nailing
Set the switching device to the upward position (to set
to SINGLE ACTUATION MECHANISM) (See Fig. 5).
Depress the nail outlet onto the desired point; then
pull the trigger to drive a nail in a single shot (See
Fig. 6).
After nailing once, nailing will not be possible again
until the trigger is released and pressed again.
CAUTION
If you do not pull the trigger quickly and crisply while
in the single shot mode, the nailer will bounce and
shoot several nails instead of just one. To avoid this,
be sure to pull the trigger quickly and crisply.
(2) Push lever
When depressing the nail outlet, be sure to fully lift
the push lever (See Fig. 6) to release the safety lock.
Thus, nails cannot be driven without releasing the
safety lock even though the trigger is pulled.
(3) Continuous nailing
Set the switching device to the downward position (to set
to CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM) (See Fig. 7).
First, pull the trigger. Then depress the devise onto the
desired position to automatically drive nails (See Fig. 8).
CAUTIONS
Excercise care when nailing corners of lumber. When
continuous nailing corners of lumber, a nail may go
astray or break through the corner.
Do not drive a nail on another nail.
Do not drive a nail on metal parts.
NOTES
Precautions on no-load operation
Sometimes nailing will continue after driving in all
nails previously contained in the magazine.
Gap
This is termed "no-load operation". Such operation
may deteriorate the damper, magazine, and nail
feeder.
To avoid no-load operation, occasionally confirm the
amount of remaining nails. On the other hand, all
nails should be removed after using this nailer.
Always handle nails and package carefully. If nails
are dropped, collating bond 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
(4) open the petcock on the air compressor tank to
