Air Source - Hitachi NR 38AK Instruction And Safety Manual

English
(2) Do not force the Nailer. Use the correct Nailer for
the application. The correct Nailer will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which the Nailer is
designed.
(3) Do not use the Nailer if the switch does not
turn the Nailer on or off . Any Nailer that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
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.
(4) Disconnect the Nailer from the air source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing the Nailer. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the Nailer
unintentionally.
(5) Store the Nailer when it is idle out of reach of
children and other untrained persons. A Nailer is
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
(6) Maintain the Nailer with care. Keep the
Nailer Clean and lubricated for better and safer
performance.
(7) Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that aff ects the Nailer's operation.
If damaged, have the Nailer serviced before using.
Because of high air pressure in the Nailer, cracks in
the surface are dangerous. To avoid this, do not drop
the Nailer or strike the Nailer against hard surfaces;
and do not scratch or engrave signs on the Nailer.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
Nailers. There is a risk of bursting if the Nailer is
damaged.
(8) Use only accessories that are identifi ed by
Hitachi for the specifi c Nailer. Use of an accessory
not intended for use with the specifi c Nailer, increases
the risk of injury to persons.
(9) Use only those fasteners listed in the
Accessories section of this manual. Fasteners not
identifi ed for use with this Nailer by Hitachi are able to
result in a risk of injury to persons or Nailer damage
when used in this Nailer.

WARNING
4. Service
(1) Tool service must be performed only by qualifi ed
repair personnel.
(2) When servicing a Nailer, use only identical
replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.
(3) Use only the lubricants supplied with the Nailer
or specifi ed by Hitachi.

5. Air source

(1) Never connect to an air source that is capable of
exceeding 200 psi (13.7 bar 14 kgf/cm
Over pressurizing the Nailer is able to result in
bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of the Nailer
or serious injury to persons.
DO NOT EXCEED 120 psi (8.3 bar 8.5 kgf/cm
Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at the
rated pressure or within the rated pressure range as
marked on the Nailer.
Always verify prior to using the Nailer that the air
source has been adjusted to the rated air pressure or
within the rated air-pressure range.
(2) Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible
gases or any bottled gas as an air source for the
Nailer. Such gases are capable of explosion and
serious injury to persons.
6. Others
(1) Before starting work, check the nailing operation
switching device.
This Hitachi nailer includes a nailing 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.
(2) Never Use NON relieving coupler on Nailer. If a
non relieving coupler is used on the Nailer, the Nailer
can remain charged with air after disconnecting
and thus will be able to drive a fastener even after
disconnecting. The Nailer and air hose must have a
hose coupling such that all pressure is removed from
the Nailer when the coupling joint is disconnected.
