Lubricator ........ The lubricator supplies an oil mist to the Stapler.
Stapler Side
3. Air hose
Air hose must have a minimum working pressure rating of 150 psi (10.4 bar 10.6 kgf/cm
or 150% of the maximum pressure produced in the system, whichever is higher.
4. Hose coupling
The Stapler can be installed as follows:
Remove the dust cap placed at the air inlet.
Install a 3/8 NPT male plug at the air inlet.
A female coupler must be on the air hose.
The hose coupling (male plug-female coupler) must remove all pressure from the Stapler
when disconnected.
Stapler use a non relieving coupler on the Stapler.
5. Air consumption
Using the Air consumption table and the Air compressor size formula, find a correct
compressor size.
Air consumption table

Air consumption
Air compressor size formula
Amount of air required
=number of Staplers
× average staples driven each minute per Stapler
× air consumption at given air pressure
× safety factor (always 1.2)
Inspect the lubricator before operation to be sure the supply of lubricant
is adequate.
Use Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant.
