Adjusting The Nailing Depth - Hitachi NT 50AE Instruction Manual

You must first depress the push lever (upward position) where you want to drive a staple
and then pull the trigger. After the each staple 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 staple 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 used as described above and accroding to all warnings and
instructions.
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 2 – 3 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.

ADJUSTING THE NAILING DEPTH

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 in the following
order.
1 DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM NAILER.
2 If nails are driven too deep, turn the adjuster
to the shallow side.
Adjustments are in half-turn increments.
