Choice of triggering method is
important.
Please read and understand "METHODS
OF OPERATION" found below.
Before starting work, check the stapling
operation switching device.
This Hitachi stapler includes a stapling
operation switching device.
Before starting work, make sure that the
switching device is properly set.
If the switching device is not set
properly, the stapler will not operate
correctly.
Never place your hands or feet closer
than 8 inches (200 mm) from firing head
when using.
Do not drive staples on top of other
staples or with Stapler at too steep of
an angle; staples can ricochet and hurt
someone.
In order to avoid double fire or
unwanted ejection of a staple due to
bouncing of the Stapler.
1) do not push Stapler on workpiece
with strong force;
2) take Stapler away from workpiece
using recoil;
3) release trigger quickly when
performing trigger fire.
Do not drive staples into thin boards or
near corners and edges of workpiece.
Staples can be driven through or away
from workpiece and hit someone.
Never drive staples from both sides of
a wall at the same time. Staples can be
driven into and through the wall and hit
a person on the opposite side.
Never use Stapler which is defective or
operating abnormally.
Do not use Stapler as hammer.
Disconnect air hose from Stapler when:
1) turning the adjuster and top cover;
2) attaching or removing the nose cap;
3) it is not in use;
4) leaving work area;
5) moving it to another location; and
6) handing it to another person.
This Hitachi stapler is equipped with a stapler operation
switching device.
Use SINGLE ACTUATION MECHANISM or CONTACT
ACTUATION MECHANISM in accordance with the work
to be performed.
Explanation of the various stapling operations
SINGLE ACTUATION MECHANISM (SINGLE
SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM): First,
press the push lever against the workpiece; next,
pull the trigger to drive the staple.
First, pull the trigger; next, press the push lever
against the workpiece to drive the staple.
After stapling once, stapling will not be possible
again until the trigger is released and pressed again.
CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM: First, press
the push lever against the workpiece; next, pull
the trigger to drive the staple.
First, pull the trigger; next, press the push lever
against the workpiece to drive the staple.
If the trigger is held back, a staple will be driven each
time the push lever is pressed against the workpiece.

METHODS OF OPERATION

This Stapler 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 staples
with this Stapler.
They are:
1. Intermittent operation (Trigger fire):
2. Continuous operation (Push lever fire):
(1) Intermittent operation (Trigger fire)
Use the SINGLE ACTUATION MECHANISM setting.
WARNING
Please note that the SINGLE ACTUATION
MECHANISM of this Hitachi stapler will
drive a staple each time the push lever is
pressed against the workpiece as long as
the trigger is pressed.
For intermittent operation, set the
switching device to the upward position
completely. (i.e. Set to SINGLE
ACTUATION MECHANISM.)
To avoid double firing or accidental
firing due to recoil.
1) Set the switching device to SINGLE
ACTUATION MECHANISM.
2) Pull the trigger rapidly and firmly.
1 Set the switching device to the upward
position (to set to SINGLE ACTUATION
MECHANISM).
(Set the switching device to the upward
position completely as shown in the diagram.
Otherwise, it will be set to CONTACT
ACTUATION MECHANISM.)
2 Position the staple outlet on the workpiece
with finger off the trigger.
3 Depress the push lever firmly until it is
completely depressed.
4 Pull the trigger to drive a staple.
5 Remove finger from the trigger.
To continue stapling in a separate location, move
the stapler along the workpiece, repeating steps
2 - 5 as required.
