1. Nailing procedures
This product is a nailer using SINGLE SEQUENTIAL
ACTUATION MECHANISM. If you pull the trigger
fi
rst,
nothing will happen even if you press the push lever up
against an object.
Depress the nail outlet onto the desired point; then pull
the trigger to drive a nail in a single shot (See
Fig. 6
).
After nailing once, nailing will not be possible again until
the trigger is released and pressed again.
Don’t turn a trigger pin, it’s locked (See
Fig. 7
).
You cannot drive a nail by
fi
rst pulling on the trigger
and then pressing the push lever against an object
(continuous nailing).
WARNING
A nail will
fi
re each time the trigger is depressed as long
as the push lever remains depressed.
CAUTION
○
Exercise care when nailing corners of lumber. When
continuous nailing corners of lumber, a nail may go
astray or break through the corner.
○
Do not drive a nail on another nail.
○
Do not drive a nail on metal parts.
NOTE
○
Precautions on no-load operation
Sometimes nailing will continue after driving in all nails
previously contained in the magazine.
This is termed “no-load operation”. Such operation may
deteriorate the damper, magazine, and nail feeder.
To avoid no-load operation, occasionally con
fi
rm the
amount of remaining nails. On the other hand, all nails
should be removed after using this nailer.
○
Always handle nails and package carefully. If nails are
dropped, collating bond may be broken.
○
After nailing:
(1) disconnect air hose from the nailer;
(2) remove all nails from the nailer;
(3) supply 5 – 10 drops of HiKOKI pneumatic tool
lubricant into the air plug on the nailer; and
(4) open the petcock on the air compressor tank to
drain any moisture.
2. Adjusting the nailing depth (See Fig. 8)
To assure that each nail penetrates to the same depth,
be sure that:
(1) the air pressure to the nailer remains constant (regulator
is installed and working properly), and
(2) the nailer is always held
fi
rmly against the workpiece.
If nails are driven too deep or shallow into the workpiece,
adjust the nailing in the following order.
Disconnect air hose.
If nails are driven too deep, turn the adjuster to the
shallow side.
If nails are driven too shallow, turn the adjuster to
the deep side.
Stop turning the adjuster when a suitable position is
reached for a nailing test.
Connect the air hose.
Always wear eye protector.
Perform a nailing test.
Disconnect air hose.
Choose a suitable position for the adjuster.
3. Changing the exhaust direction
The direction of the exhaust vent can be changed by
turning the top cover (See
Fig. 9
).
4. Using the nose cap (See Fig. 10)
The nose cap is attached to the push lever tip to protect
the workpiece from scratches or damage. Remove in
the order shown below when not using.
(1) DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM NAILER.
(2) Pull out the nose cap in the direction of the arrow as
shown in the diagram.
○
Attach to the tip of the push lever in the reverse order of
