5-2. Nail Selection
The Model NV 50AF3 utilizes common round-head nails collated by wire or sheet into coils from 200 to 400
pieces. Applicable nail dimensions are shown below. However, it is recommended to use genuine HITACHI nails
to ensure satisfactory driving quality.
CAUTION: Ensure that nails are as specified in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. Other nails will cause clogging of nails
and subsequent damage to the nailer.
NOTE: Aluminum nails may bend when driven into a hard workpiece. Test before use.
