(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

SAFETY
— Continued
WARNING
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
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
3) not resisting recoil such that the Nailer will be
4) pulling the trigger rapidly and fi rmly, and releasing
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.
