English
19. PLACE NAILER PROPERLY ON WORKPIECE.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the Nailer at too steep of an angle;
the fasteners can ricochet and hurt someone.
20. BEFORE STARTING WORK, CHECK THE FASTENING OPERATION SWITCHING DEVICE.
This Hitachi nailer includes a fastening operation switching device.
Before starting work, check the setting of the operation switching device.
If the switching device is not set properly, the nailer will not operate correctly.
21.BE CAREFUL OF DOUBLE FIRE DUE TO RECOIL.
If the push lever is unintentionally allowed to re-contact the workpiece following recoil,
an unwanted fastener will be driven.
In order to avoid this undesirable double fire,
Intermittent operation (Trigger firing)
1) Set the switching device to SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM.
2) Pull the trigger rapidly and firmly.
Continuous operation (Push lever firing)
1) Do not press the nailer against the wood with excessive force.
2) Separate the nailer from the wood as it recoils after fastening.
22. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS INTO THIN BOARDS OR NEAR CORNERS AND EDGES OF
WORKPIECE.
The fasteners can be driven through or away from the workpiece and hit someone.
23. NEVER DRIVE FASTENERS FROM BOTH SIDES OF A WALL AT THE SAME TIME.
The fasteners can be driven into and through the wall and hit a person on the opposite side.
24. CHECK FOR LIVE WIRES.
Avoid the risk of severe electrical shock by checking for live electrical wires that may be
hidden by walls, floors or ceilings. Turn off the breaker switch to ensure there are no live
wires.
25. NEVER CARRY NAILER BY HOSE.
26. DO NOT OVERREACH.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
27. NEVER USE NAILER WHICH IS DEFECTIVE OR OPERATING ABNORMALLY.
If the Nailer appears to be operating unusually, making strange noises, or otherwise
appears defective, stop using it immediately and arrange for repairs by a Hitachi
authorized service center.
28. DO NOT DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM NAILER WITH FINGER ON TRIGGER.
The Nailer can fire when re-connected to an air supply.
29. DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM NAILER WHEN:
1) doing maintenance and inspection;
2) loading fasteners;
3) turning the adjuster and top cover;
4) attaching or removing the nose cap;
5) clearing a jam;
6) it is not in use;
7) leaving work area;
8) moving it to another location; and
9) handing it to another person.
Never attempt to clear a jam or repair the Nailer unless you have disconnected air hose
from the Nailer and removed all remaining fasteners from the Nailer.
The Nailer should never be left unattended since people who are not familiar with the
Nailer might handle it and injure the themselves.
