5-2. Nail Selection

The Model NR 65AK utilizes heat treated round-head nails collated with paper into bands of 22 pieces.
Applicable nail dimensions are shown below. However, it is recommended to use genuine HITACHI nails to
ensure satisfactory driving quality.
Use only genuine HITACHI heat treated nails for this NR 65AK to avoid serious injury from ricocheting
nails. The use of any other nails and non-heat treated nails could result in dangerous tool malfunction
and/or nail malfunction, causing serious injury.
Select adequate nail size to meet proper metal hardware requirement needed for application, designed
by metal hardware manufacturer and regulated by the applicable building code.
