Adjusting The Stapling Depth - Hitachi N 5008AC Instruction And Safety Manual

THE OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM (SINGLE
SHOT PARTS) is for use where precision fastener
placement is desired and must be operated in accordance
with the following "Method of Operation".
You must first depress the push lever (upward
position) where you wnat to drive a staple and then
pull the trigger. After the each staple is driven,
completely release the trigger and lift the tool off the
work surface. An OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP
MECHANISM may reduce the possibility of bodily
injury to you or others in the work area. This is
because it is less likely to drive an unwanted staple if
you keep the trigger pulled and accidentally bump the
push lever against yourself or others. An OPTIONAL
SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM may also reduce the
speed of operation compared to the standard contact
trip mechanism.
NOTE:
Both STANDARD CONTACT TRIP MECHANISM and
OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM are safe if
used as described above and accroding to all warnings
and instructions.
Always handle staples and package carefully. If staples
are dropped, collating bond may be broken.
After stapling:
1) disconnect air hose from the Stapler;
2) remove all staples from the Stapler;
3) supply 5 – 10 drops of Hitachi pneumatic tool
lubricant into the air plug on the Stapler; and
4) open the petcock on the air compressor tank to
drain any moisture.
ADJUSTING THE STAPLING
DEPTH
To assure that each nail penetrates to the same depth, be
sure that:
1) the air pressure to the Stapler remains constant
(regulator is installed and working properly), and
2) the Stapler is always held firmly against the workpiece.
If staples are driven too deep or shallow into the
workpiece, adjust the stapling in the following order.
1 DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM STAPLER
