Methods Of Operation - Hitachi Koki NV65AH - Pneumatic Coil Siding Nailer Wire/Plastic Collation Instruction And Safety Manual

Do not drive nails into thin boards or near corners
and edges of workpiece. Nails can be driven
through or away from workpiece and hit
someone.
Never drive nails from both sides of a wall at the
same time. Nails can be driven into and through
the wall and hit a person on the opposite side.
Never use Nailer which is defective or operating
abnormally.
Do not use Nailer as hammer.
Disconnect air hose from Nailer when:
1) it is not in use;
2) leaving work area;
3) moving it to another location; and
4) handing it to another person.
This Hitachi nailer has a STANDARD CONTACT TRIP
MECHANISM (Bounce Fire). An OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL
TRIP MECHANISM kit (SINGLE SHOT) is available as order
part number 881973.
THE STANDARD CONTACT TRIP MECHANISM (Bounce
Fire) is for use where rapid fastener placement is desired
and must be operated in accordance with the following

"Methods of Operation".

METHODS OF OPERATION
This Nailer is equipped with the push lever and does not
operate unless the push lever is depressed (upward
position).
There are two methods of operation to drive nails with
this Nailer.
They are:
1. Intermittent operation (Trigger fire):
2. Continuous operation (Push lever fire):
(1) Intermittent operation (Trigger fire)
1 Position the nail outlet on the workpiece with
finger off the trigger.
2 Depress the push lever firmly until it is completely
depressed.
3 Pull the trigger to drive a nail.
4 Remove finger from the trigger.
To drive another nail, move the Nailer along the
workpiece and repeat this procedure.

(2) Continuous operation (Push lever fire)
1 Pull the trigger with the Nailer off the workpiece.
2 Depress the push lever against the workpiece to
drive a nail.
3 Move the Nailer along the workpiece with a
bouncing motion.
Each depression of the push lever will drive a nail.
As soon as the desired number of nails have been
driven, remove finger from the trigger.
THE OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM (SINGLE
SHOT PARTS) is for use where precision fastener
placement is desired and must be operated in accordance
with the following "Method of Operation".
You must first depress the push lever (upward
position) where you wnat to drive a nail and then pull
the trigger. After the each nail is driven, completely
release the trigger and lift the tool off the work
surface. An OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP
MECHANISM may reduce the possibility of bodily
injury to you or others in the work area. This is
because it is less likely to drive an unwanted nail if
you keep the trigger pulled and accidentally bump the
push lever against yourself or others. An OPTIONAL
SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM may also reduce the
speed of operation compared to the standard contact
trip mechanism.
NOTE:
Both STANDARD CONTACT TRIP MECHANISM and
OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM are safe if
Trigger used as described above and accroding to all warnings
and instructions.
Always handle nails and package carefully.
If dropped, the collated nails may break or come loose.
In such cases, do not use the nails because, if used in
that condition, nail feed may become faulty and result
in missed nails or jamming of the nails.
After nailing:
1) disconnect air hose from the Nailer;
2) remove all nails from the Nailer;
3) supply a few drops (approximately 2 cc (.12 in

WARNING
Keep your finger off the trigger except during
fastening operation, because serious injury could
result if the push lever accidentally contacts you
or others in work area.
Keep hands and body away from the discharge
area. The nailer with contact trip mechanism may
bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and
unwanted subsequent fastener may be driven,
possibly causing injury.
Some types of loaded nails can spark out of the
muzzle during a nail driving operation. Exericise
caution!
