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: 3 Nailers (NT50AE2 (S) or NT32AE2 (S))
operating at 100 psi driving 30 nails per
minute
Amount of air required
= 3 × 30 × .025 (.73) × 1.2
= 2.7 CFM (ft /min) (78.8 ltr/min)

After making the calculations as shown above, you
should fi nd a compressor providing 2.7 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 70 psi (4.9 bar
5.0 kgf/cm
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

● Never use Nailer unless push lever is
operating properly.
Before actually beginning the nailing work, test the Nailer
by using the check list below. Conduct the tests in the
following order.
If abnormal operation occurs, stop using the Nailer and
contact a Hitachi authorized service center immediately.
(1) DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM NAILER.
REMOVE ALL NAILS FROM NAILER.
□ ALL SCREWS MUST BE TIGHTENED.
If any screws are loose, tighten them.
