TESTING THE NAILER

DANGER

⬤Always wear eye protector.

WARNING

⬤Never use Nailer unless push lever is operating properly.

Before actually beginning the nailing work, test the Nailer by using the checklist below. Conduct the tests in the following order.

If abnormal operation occurs, stop using the Nailer and contact a Hitachi authorized service center immediately.

(1)DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM NAILER. REMOVE ALL NAILS FROM NAILER.

■ALL SCREWS MUST BE TIGHTENED. If any screws are loose, tighten them.

■THE PUSH LEVER AND TRIGGER MUST MOVE SMOOTHLY.

(2)Adjust the air pressure to 70 psi (4.9 bar 5 kgf/cm2). Connect the air hose.

Do not load any nails in the Nailer.

■THE NAILER MUST NOT LEAK AIR.

Hold the Nailer downward and pull the trigger.

■THE NAILER MUST NOT OPERATE.

(3)With finger off the trigger, depress the push lever against the workpiece.

■THE NAILER MUST NOT OPERATE.

(4)Without touching the trigger, depress the push lever against the workpiece. Pull the trigger.

■THE NAILER MUST OPERATE

(5)With the Nailer off the workpiece, pull the trigger. Depress the push lever against the workpiece.

■THE NAILER MUST OPERATE.

(6)If no abnormal operation is observed, you may load nails in the Nailer.

Drive nails into the workpiece that is the same type to be used in the actual application.

■THE NAILER MUST OPERATE PROPERLY.

ADJUSTING AIR PRESSURE

WARNING

⬤Do not exceed 120 psi (8.3 bar 8.5 kgf/cm2).

Adjust the air pressure at recommended operating pressure 70 – 120 psi (4.9 – 8.3 bar 5 – 8.5 kgf/cm2) according to the length of nails and the hardness of workpiece.

The correct air pressure is the lowest pressure which will do the job. Using the Nailer at a higher than required air pressure unnecessarily over stresses the Nailer.

LOADING NAILS

WARNING

⬤When loading nails into nailer,

(1)do not depress trigger

(2)do not depress push lever; and

(3)keep Nailer pointred downward

NV 65AF3 specifications

The Hitachi NV 65AF3 is a powerful, versatile tool designed for professionals in construction and woodworking, particularly in the framing and installation of materials. This pneumatic nailer is noteworthy for its combination of advanced technology and user-friendly features that enhance efficiency and productivity on the job site.

One of the stand-out features of the NV 65AF3 is its lightweight design. Weighing in at just under 4.4 pounds, the nailer allows for ease of handling over extended periods, reducing fatigue for users. This portability is complemented by its compact size, making it suitable for tight spaces where larger tools may prove cumbersome.

The NV 65AF3 utilizes a pneumatic power source, which means it requires an air compressor to operate. This not only provides a consistent power output but also allows the nailer to deliver impressive performance in terms of driving power. The tool is capable of driving nails ranging from 1-1/4 inches to 2-1/2 inches in length, making it suitable for applications such as framing, sheathing, and roofing.

Another key feature is its adjustable depth of drive. This functionality allows users to finely tune how deep the nails are driven into the material, ensuring precision and consistency in finishing work. The tool also includes a selective actuation switch that enables users to choose between sequential and contact firing modes. The sequential mode offers greater control, making it ideal for delicate tasks, while the contact mode allows for faster nailing in production environments.

A robust magazine holds up to 100 nails, enabling longer run times between reloads. The NV 65AF3’s rear exhaust directs air away from the user and work surface, keeping the workspace clean and safe.

Durability is another hallmark of the Hitachi NV 65AF3, with its rugged construction designed to withstand the rigors of job sites. The tool also features a rubber grip handle designed for comfort and stability during use.

In conclusion, the Hitachi NV 65AF3 is an exemplary pneumatic nailer, merging portability, power, and precision. Its user-centric design and durable build make it a reliable choice for contractors seeking a high-performance tool for a wide range of applications. Whether framing, roofing, or installing wood, the NV 65AF3 delivers the reliability and efficiency professionals demand.
