Hitachi NT 65M2 Handling Instructions Manual page 3

such a case do not use the power tool until it
has been inspected and repaired.
If merely pulling the trigger causes operating
sound of drive bit movement occur, the power
tool is faulty.
If merely pushing the push lever against the
material to be nailed causes the sound of drive
bit movement to occur, the power tool is faulty.
Furthermore, with regard to the push lever,
please note that it must never be modified or
removed.
10. Use specified nails only.
Never use nails other than those specified and
described in these instructions.
11. Be careful when connecting the hose.
When connecting the hose and loading nails in
order not to fire the tool by mistake, make sure
of the followings.
Do not touch the trigger.
Do not allow the firing head to contact with any
surface.
Keep the firing head down.
Strictly observe the above instructions, and always
make sure that no part of the body, hands or
legs is ever in front of the nail outlet.
12. Do not carelessly place your finger on the trigger.
Do not place your finger on the trigger except
when actually nailing. If you carry this tool or
hand it to someone while having your finger on
the trigger, you may inadvertently discharge a nail
and thus cause an accident.
13. Press the nail outlet firmly against the material
to be nailed.
When driving in nails, press the nail outlet firmly
against the material to be nailed. If the outlet is
not applied properly, the nails may rebound.
14. Keep hands and feet away from the firing head
when using.
It is very dangerous for a nail to hit the hands
or feet by mistake.
15. Beware of the tool's kickback
Do not approach the top of the tool with your
head etc. during operation. This is dangerous
because the tool may recoil violently if the nail
currently being driven in comes into contact with
a previous nail or a knot in the wood.
16. Take care when nailing thin boards or the corners
of wood.
When nailing thin boards, the nails may pass right
through, as may also be the case when nailing
the corners of wood due to deviation of the nails.
In such cases, always make sure that there is no
one (and nobody's hands or feet; etc.) behind the
thin board or next to the wood you are going to
nail.
17. Simultaneous nailing on both sides of the same
wall is dangerous
Under no circumstances should nailing be
performed on both sides of a wall at the same
time. This would be very dangerous since the
nails might pass through the wall and thus cause
injuries.
18. Do not use the power tool on scaffoldings, ladders.
The power tool shall not be used for specific
application for example:
– when changing one driving location to another
involves the use of scafforldings, stairs, ladders
or ladder alike constructions, e.g. roof laths,
– closing boxes or crates,
– fitting transportation safety systems e.g. on
vehicles and wagons
19. Do not disconnect the hose with your finger on
the trigger.
If you disconnect the hose with your finger on
the trigger, the next time the hose is connected,
there is a danger that the power tool will fire a
nail spontaneously, or operate incorrectly.
20. Disconnect the hose and take out any nails left
in the magazine after use.
Disconnect tool from air before doing tool
maintenance, cleaning a jammed fastener, leaving
work area, moving tool to another location, or
after use. It is very dangerous for a nail to be fired
by mistake.
21. When removing a nail which has become stuck,
make sure to first of all disconnect the hose and
release compressed air.
When removing a nail which has become stuck
in the nail outlet, first of all make sure to disconnect
the hose and release compressed air inside the
power tool.
Accidental firing of the nail could be very
dangerous.
22. A female plug (air socket) should not be used in
the body.
If a female plug is installed in the body, the
compressed air sometimes can not be drawn when
the hose is disconnected so avoid this.
The tool and air supply hose must have a hose
coupling such that all pressure is removed from
the tool when the coupling joint is disconnected.
23. When attaching and detaching the nose cap,
disconnect the hose.
When attaching the accessory nose cap to the tip
of the push lever and when detaching it, make
sure to disconnect the hose beforehand. It is very
dangerous for a nail to be fired by mistake.
