Lubrication; Cold Weather Care; Testing The Stapler - Hitachi N 5008AB Instruction Manual

English
Example: 3 Staplers (N5008AB) operating at 100 psi driving 30 staples per minute
Amount of air required
=3 × 30 × .046 (1.3) × 1.2
=5.0 CFM (ft
After making the calculations as shown above, you should find a compressor
providing 5 CFM of air that is required.

LUBRICATION

It is important that the Stapler be properly lubricated.
Without proper lubrication, the Stapler 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 Stapler to malfunction.
Filter-regulator-lubricator units should always be used.
Keep the lubricator filled with Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant.
If a lubricator is not available, supply 2 – 3 drops of Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant into
the air plug on the Stapler twice a day.

COLD WEATHER CARE

Do not store the Stapler in a cold weather environment.
Keep the Stapler in a warm area until beginning the work.
If the Stapler is already cold, bring it in a warm area and allow the Stapler to warm up
before use.
1 Reduce the air pressure to 40 psi (2.8 bar 2.8 kgf/cm
2 Remove all staples from the Stapler.
3 Connect the air hose and free-fire (blank-fire) the Stapler.
The lowered air pressure will be enough to free-fire the Stapler.
Slow speed operation tends to warm up the moving part.
CAUTION:
● Do not free-fire the Stapler at high pressure.

TESTING THE STAPLER

● Never use Stapler unless push lever is operating properly.
