– Place Nailer properly on
workpiece.
Do not fasten on top of another fastener.
This is able to cause the fastener to be de
fl
ected and
hit someone, or cause the Nailer to react and result in
a risk of injury to persons.
3. Nailer use and care
(1) Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against the body is
unstable and is able to lead to loss of control.
(2) Do not force the Nailer.
Use the correct Nailer for
the application. The correct Nailer will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which the Nailer is
designed.
(3) Do not use the Nailer if the switch does not
turn the Nailer on or o
ff
.
Any Nailer that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
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.
(4) Disconnect the Nailer from the air source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing the Nailer.
Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the Nailer
unintentionally.
(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 a
ff
ects 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 identi
fi
ed by
Hitachi for the speci
fi
c Nailer.
Use of an accessory
not intended for use with the speci
fi
c Nailer ,
increases the risk of injury to persons.
(9) Use only those fasteners listed in the
Accessories section of this manual.
Fasteners not
identi
fi
ed 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 quali
fi
ed
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 speci
fi
ed by Hitachi.
5. Air source
(1) Never connect to an air source that is capable of
exceeding 200 psi (13.7 bar 14 kgf/cm
2
).
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/cm
2
).
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.
