Methods Of Operation - Hitachi N 5008AC Instruction And Safety Manual

English
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) it is not in use;
2) leaving work area;
3) moving it to another location; and
4) handing it to another person.
This Hitachi Stapler has a STANDARD CONTACT TRIP
MECHANISM (Bounce File). An OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL
TRIP MECHANISM kit (SINGLE SHOT) is available as order
part number 876762.
THE STANDARD CONTACT TRIP MECHANISM (Bounce
Fire) is for use where rapid fastener placement is desired
and must be operated in accordance with the following

"Methods of Operation".

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)
1 Position the staple outlet on the workpiece with
finger off the trigger.
2 Depress the push lever firmly until it is completely
depressed.
3 Pull the trigger to drive a staple.
4 Remove finger from the trigger.
To drive another staple, move the Stapler along the
workpiece and repeat this procedure.
2
Push Lever
(2) Continuous operation (Push lever fire)
1 Pull the trigger with the Stapler off the workpiece.
2 Depress the push lever against the workpiece to
drive a staple.
3 Move the Stapler along the workpiece with a
bouncing motion.
Each depression of the push lever will drive a
staple.
As soon as the desired number of staples have been
driven, remove finger from the trigger.

Push Lever
Keep your finger off the trigger except during
fastening operation, beacuse serious injury could
result if the push lever accidentally contacts you or
others in work area.
Keep hands and body away from the discharge
area. The Stapler with contact trip mechanism may
bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and
unwanted subsequent fastener may be driven,
possibly causing injury.
Some types of loaded staples can spark out of the
muzzle during a nail driving operation. Exercise
caution!
