Adjusting The Stapling Depth - Hitachi N 5010A Instruction And Safety Manual

work surface. An OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP
MECHANISM may reduce the possibility of bodily
injury to you or others in the work area. This is
because it is less likely to drive an unwanted staple if
you keep the trigger pulled and accidentally bump the
push lever against yourself or others. An OPTIONAL
SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM may also reduce the
speed of operation compared to the standard contact
trip mechanism.
NOTE:
Both STANDARD CONTACT TRIP MECHANISM and
OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM are safe if
used as described above and according to all
warnings and instructions.
Always handle staples and package carefully. If
staples are dropped, collating bond may be broken.
After stapling:
1) disconnect air hose from the Stapler;
2) remove all staples from the Stapler;
3) supply 5 – 10 drops of Hitachi pneumatic tool
lubricant into the air plug on the Stapler; and
4) open the petcock on the air compressor tank to
drain any moisture.
ADJUSTING THE STAPLING
DEPTH
WARNING
When adjusting the push lever piece, be sure to
remove your finger from the trigger and
disconnect the air hose from the stapler.
To assure that each nail penetrates to the same depth, be
sure that:
1) the air pressure to the Stapler remains constant
(regulator is installed and working properly), and
2) the Stapler is always held firmly against the
workpiece.
If staples are driven too deep or shallow into the
workpiece, adjust the stapling in the following order.
1 DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM STAPLER.
