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.
LUBRICATIONIt 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
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.
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
The lowered air pressure will be enough to
CAUTION:
●
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.
