17. KEEP HANDS AND FEET AWAY FROM
FIRING HEAD DURING USE.
Never place your hands or feet closer than
8 inches (200 mm) from the firing head.
A serious injury can result if the fasteners
are deflected by the workpiece, or are
driven away from the point of entry.
18. PLACE
NAILER
WORKPIECE.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other
fasteners or with the Nailer at too steep
of an angle; the fasteners can ricochet
and hurt someone.
19. BEFORE STARTING WORK, CHECK THE
NAILING OPERATION SWITCHING
DEVICE.
This Hitachi nailer includes a nailing
operation switching device.
Before starting work, check the setting of
the operation switching device.
If the switching device is not set properly,
the nailer will not operate correctly.
20. BE CAREFUL OF DOUBLE FIRE DUE TO
RECOIL.
If the push lever is unintentionally
allowed to recontact the workpiece
following recoil, an unwanted fastener
will be driven.
In order to avoid this undesirable double
fire,
Intermittent operation (Trigger firing)
1) Set the switching device to SINGLE
SEQUENTIAL
MECHANISM.
2) Pull the trigger rapidly and firmly.
Continuous operation (Push lever firing)
1) Do not press the nailer against the
wood with excessive force.
2) Separate the nailer from the wood as
it recoils after nailing.
21. 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.

ACTUATION

22. 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.
23. CHECK FOR LIVE WIRES.
Avoid the risk of severe electrical shock
by checking for live electrical wires that
may be hidden by walls, floors or ceilings.
Turn off the breaker switch to ensure
there are no live wires.
24. NEVER CARRY NAILER BY HOSE.
25. DO NOT OVERREACH.
Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
26. 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.
27. DO NOT DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM
NAILER WITH FINGER ON TRIGGER.
The Nailer can fire when reconnected to
an air supply.
28. DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM NAILER
WHEN:
1) doing maintenance and inspection;
2) clearing a jam;
3) it is not in use;
4) leaving work area;
5) moving it to another location; and
6) 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.
