14. KEEP FACE, HANDS AND FEET AWAY FROM
FIRING HEAD DURING USE.
Never place your face, hands or feet closer than 8
inches (200 mm) from the fi ring head.
A serious injury can result if the fasteners are
defl ected by the workpiece, or are driven away from
the point of entry.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. 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 fi re,
○ Intermittent operation (Trigger fi ring)
1) Set the switching device to FULL SEQUENTIAL
ACTUATION MECHANISM.
2) Pull the trigger rapidly and fi rmly.
○ Continuous operation (Push lever fi ring)
1) Do not press the nailer against the wood with
excessive force.
2) Separate the nailer from the wood as it recoils
after fastening.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. CHECK FOR LIVE WIRES.
Avoid the risk of severe electrical shock by checking
for live electrical wires that may be hidden by walls,
fl oors or ceilings. Turn off the breaker switch to
ensure there are no live wires.
21. DO NOT OVERREACH.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
