SAFETY – Continued

WARNING

11.DRESS PROPERLY.

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

12.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.

13.CHECK PUSH LEVER BEFORE USE.

Make sure the push lever operates properly. (The push lever may be called ìSafetyî.) Never use the Nailerunless the push lever is operating properly, otherwise the Nailer could drive a fastener unexpectedly.

Do not tamper with or remove the push lever, otherwise the push lever becomes inoperable.

14.KEEP ALL SCREWS AND COVERS TIGHTLY IN PLACE.

Keep all screws and covers tightly mounted. Check their condition periodically. Never use the Nailer if parts are missing or damaged.

15.DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS WITH TRIGGER OR PUSH LEVER DEPRESSED.

When loading fasteners into the Nailer or when connecting the air hose,

1)do not depress the trigger;

2)do not depress the push lever; and

3)keep the Nailer pointed downward.

16.KEEP HANDS AND FEET AWAY FROM FIRING HEAD DURING USE.

Never place your hands or feet closer than 8 inches (200 mm) from the firing head.

A serious injury can result if the fasteners are deflected by the workpiece, or are driven away from the point of entry.

17.PLACE NAILER PROPERLY ON WORKPIECE.

Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the Nailer at too steep of an angle; the fasteners can ricochet and hurt someone.

18.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,

1)do not push the Nailer on the workpiece with strong force;

2)take the Nailer completely away from the workpiece using recoil, and keep the push lever away from the workpiece until the next desirable shot; and

3)pull the trigger and release it QUICKLY when performing intermittent operation (trigger fire).

19.DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS INTO THIN BOARDS OR NEAR CORNERS AND EDGES OF WORKPIECE.

The fasteners can be driven through or away from the workpiece and hit someone.

20.NEVER DRIVE FASTENERS FROM BOTH SIDES OF A WALL AT THE SAME TIME.

The fasteners can be driven into and through the wall and hit a person on the opposite side.

21.CHECK FOR LIVE WIRES.

Avoid the risk of severe electrical shock by checking for live electrical wires that may be hidden by walls, floors or ceilings. Turn off the breaker switch to ensure there are no live wires.

22.NEVER CARRY NAILER BY HOSE.

23.DO NOT OVERREACH.

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

24.NEVER USE NAILER WHICH IS DEFECTIVE OR OPERATING ABNORMALLY.

If the Nailer appears to be operating unusually, making strange noises, or otherwise appears defective, stop using it immediately and arrange for repairs by a Hitachi authorized service center.

25.DO NOT DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM NAILER WITH FINGER ON TRIGGER.

The Nailer can fire when re-connected to an air supply.

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.
