Adjusting The Nailing Depth - Hitachi NT 50AE2 Instruction And Safety Manual

● After nailing:
1) disconnect air hose from the Nailer;
2) remove all nails from the Nailer;
3) supply 5 – 10 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

● When adjusting the Adjuster, be sure to remove your finger from
the trigger and disconnect the air hose from the nailer.
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.
If nails are driven too shallow, turn the adjuster
to the deep side.
3 Stop turning the adjuster when a suitable
position is reached for a nailing test.
4 Connect the air hose.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
Perform a nailing test.
5 DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM NAILER.
6 Choose a suitable position for the adjuster.
NOTE:
●
The nail might not drive deep enough if using
high pressure with the adjuster set upwards
(shallow side) due to factors such as the
material hardness or nail type.
If that happens, reduce pressure and set the
adjuster to lowest position so the nail drives
in at a good position.
