Cold Weather Care; Testing The Nailer - Hitachi NT 50AE2 Instruction And Safety Manual

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-fire (blank-fire) the Nailer.
The lowered air pressure will be enough to free-fire the Nailer.
Slow speed operation tends to warm up the moving part.
CAUTION:
● Do not free-fire the Nailer at high pressure.
