2. Lubrication
(1) Prior to operating this nailer, be sure to provide an air
set between the air compressor and this device.
Lubrication through the air set offers smooth
operation, extended service life, and anticorrosion.
Adjust the oiler so that a single drop of oil is supplied
at intervals of 5 to 10 nailing cycles.
(2) It is recommended using the recommended oil (SHELL
TONNA). Other applicable oils are listed. Never mix
two or more types of different oils.
3. Load nails
CAUTION
When loading nails into Nailer,
(1) do not depress trigger;
(2) do not depress push lever; and
(3) keep your face, hands feet and other body parts,
as well as those of other persons away from the
nose muzzle to avoid possible injury during usage
and carrying.
(1) Pull the nail feeder until the concave portion of the
magazine cover clicks. (See Fig. 2)
(2) Insert nail strips one by one from above the magazine.
Slide nails forward in the magazine. (See Fig. 3)
(3) While holding the nail feeder adjust the magazine
cover in place. (See Fig. 4)
(4) Slide the nail feeder slowly forward until it contacts
nails.
NOTE
Use nail strip of more than 5 nails.
Slide the nail feeder SLOWLY forward.
If the nail feeder is released roughly, it may be stuck
between the magazine and nails, which makes mis-
feeding trouble.
The Nailer is now ready to operate.
Removing the nails:
1 Pull the nail feeder until the concave portion of the
magazine cover clicks. (See Fig. 2)
2 Remove the nails from the nailer.
CAUTION:
To prevent unitentional operation, never touch the
trigger or place the top end of the push lever on a
work bench or floor. Also, never face the nail outlet
toward any part of a person.
HOW TO USE THE NAILER
CAUTION:
Never use the head or body of this device as a
hammer.
Take precautions to ensure the safety of persons in
the vicinity during operation.
1. Nailing procedures
This product is a nailer using a sequential trip (single-
shot) mechanism. If you pull the trigger first, nothing
will happen even if you press the push lever up against
an object.
First, press the push lever against the object to the
desired position, then pull the trigger to drive the nail
into the object (See Fig. 5).
Whether you set the trigger pin (See Fig. 6) up or
down, you cannot drive a nail by first pulling on the
trigger and then pressing the push lever against an
object (continuous nailing).
CAUTION:
Exercise 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.
NOTE:
Precautions on no-load operation
Sometimes nailing will continue after driving in all
nails previously contained in the magazine.
This is termed "no-load operation". Such operation
may deteriorate the bumper, 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
lubricant into the air plug on the nailer; and
(4) open the petcock on the air compressor tank to
drain any moisture.
2. Adjusting the nailing depth (See Fig. 7)
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 firmly 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.
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.
5 Disconnect air hose.
6 Choose a suitable position for the adjuster.
3. Using the blow nozzle (See Fig. 8)
CAUTION
Be sure to release your finger from the trigger before
using the blow nozzle.
Do not point the air outlet at a person.
Do not use the blow nozzle with the push lever left fit.
This Nailer has a blow nozzle that blows out wood
shavings which occur during work.
Press the knob with your thumb to use the blow nozzle.
NOTE
When the blow nozzle is used for a long time, the nailing
force may degrade temporarily. In this case, allows
the air supply pressure to stabilize before starting work.
Oil in the body or drained water from the compressor
can sometimes spout out of the air outlet. It is
recommended that you once conduct a test before use
and see if such phenomenon happens at an environment
where spouted oil will cause any inconvenience.
