Air compressor size formula

Amount of air required

=number of Nailers

average nails driven each minute per Nailer

air consumption at given air pressure

safety factor (always 1.2) Example: 2 Nailers operating at 100 psi

driving 30 nails per minute Amount of air required

=2 30 .088 (2.5) 1.2

=6.3 CFM (ft3/min) (180 ltr/min)

After making the calculations as shown above, you should find a compressor providing 6.3 CFM of air that is required.

LUBRICATION

It is important that the Nailer be properly lubricated.

Without proper lubrication, the Nailer will not work properly and parts will wear prematurely.

Use Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant. Do not use detergent oil or additives. These lubricants will harm the O-rings and other rubber parts. This will cause the Nailer to malfunction.

Filter-regulator-lubricator units should always be used.

Keep the lubricator filled with Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant.

If a lubricator is not available, supply 5 – 10 drops of Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant into the air plug on the Nailer twice a day.

COLD WEATHER CARE

Do not store the Nailer in a cold weather environment.

Keep the Nailer in a warm area until beginning the work.

If the Nailer is already cold, bring it in a warm area and allow the Nailer to warm up before use.

1 Reduce the air pressure to 64 psi (4.4

bar 4.5 kgf/cm2).

2Remove all nails from the Nailer.

3 Connect the air hose and free-fire (blank-fire) the Nailer.

The lowered air pressure will be enough to free-fire the Nailer. Slow speed operation tends to warm up the moving part.

TESTING THE NAILER

DANGER

Operators and others in work area MUST wear safety glasses with side

shields which conforms

to ANSI Z87.1 specifications.

WARNING

Never use Nailer unless push lever is operating properly.
