SAFETY — Continued

WARNING

(5)Store the Nailer when it is idle out of reach of children and other untrained persons. A Nailer is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

(6)Maintain the Nailer with care. Keep the Nailer Clean and lubricated for better and safer performance.

(7)Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that affects the Nailer's operation.

If damaged, have the Nailer serviced before using. Because of high air pressure in the Nailer, cracks in the surface are dangerous. To avoid this, do not drop the Nailer or strike the Nailer against hard surfaces; and do not scratch or engrave signs on the Nailer. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained Nailers. There is a risk of bursting if the Nailer is damaged.

(8)Use only accessories that are identified by Hitachi for the specific Nailer. Use of an accessory not intended for use with the specific Nailer , increases the risk of injury to persons.

(9)Use only those fasteners listed in the Accessories section of this manual. Fasteners not identified for use with this Nailer by Hitachi are able to result in a risk of injury to persons or Nailer damage when used in this Nailer.

4. Service

(1) Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.

(2) When servicing a Nailer, use only identical replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.

(3) Use only the lubricants supplied with the Nailer or specified by Hitachi.

5. Air source

(1) Never connect to an air source that is capable of exceeding 200 psi (13.7 bar 14 kgf/cm2).

Over pressurizing the Nailer is able to result in bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of the Nailer or serious injury to persons.

DO NOT EXCEED 120 psi (8.3 bar 8.5 kgf/cm2). Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at the rated pressure or within the rated pressure range as marked on the Nailer.

Always verify prior to using the Nailer that the air source has been adjusted to the rated air pressure or within the rated air-pressure range.

(2) Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or any bottled gas as an air source for the Nailer. Such gases are capable of explosion and serious injury to persons.

6. Others

(1) Before starting work, check the nailing operation switching device.

This Hitachi nailer includes a nailing operation switching device.

Before starting work, check the setting of the operation switching device.

If the switching device is not set properly, the nailer will not operate correctly.

(2) Be careful of double fire due to recoil. If the Push Lever is unintentionally allowed to re-contact the workpiece following recoil, an unwanted fastener will be driven. In order to avoid this undesirable double fire,

○ Intermittent operation (Trigger firing)

1) Set the switching device to SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM.

2) Pull the trigger rapidly and firmly. ○ Continuous operation (Push lever firing)

1) Set the switching device to CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM.

2) Do not press the nailer against the wood with excessive force.

3) Separate the nailer from the wood as it recoils after nailing.

(3) Never Use NON relieving coupler on Nailer. If a non relieving coupler is used on the Nailer, the Nailer can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a fastener even after disconnecting. The Nailer and air hose must have a hose coupling such that all pressure is removed from the Nailer when the coupling joint is disconnected.
