English
If nails are driven too shallow, turn the adjuster to
the deep side.
3 Stop turning the adjuster when a suitable position
is reached for a nailing test.
4 Connect the air hose.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTOR.
Perform a nailing test.
5 DISCONNECT AIR HOSE.
6 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. 10).
4. Using the nose cap (See Fig. 11)
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.
䡬 Attach to the tip of the push lever in the reverse order
of detaching.
When not using the nose cap, attach to the storage area
in back of the magazine (See Fig. 12).
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Be sure to disconnect the hose during cleaning
jams, inspection, maintenance and cleaning.
1. Countermeasure for nail jamming
(1) DISCONNECT AIR HOSE.
(2) Remove all nails.
(3) Release the lock lever and open guide plate (See Fig.
13).
(4) Remove the jammed nail with a slotted-head
screwdriver (See Fig. 14).
(5) Close guide plate and latch.
(6) In case of frequent jams, consult the Authorized
Service Center from which you bought this machine.
2. Inspecting the magazine
Clean the magazine. Remove dust or wooden chips
which may have accumulated in the magazine. Apply
oil occasionally to the feed spring of the nail feeder
(See Fig. 1).
3. Check on mounting screws for each part
At regular intervals check every part for loose
mounting screws and whether or not there are any
air leaks. Retighten any loose screws. Operating the
equipment with loose screws untightened will incur
a hazard.
4. Inspecting the push lever
Check if the push lever (Fig. 1) can slide smoothly.
Clean up the sliding area of the push lever and use
the provided oil for lubrication from time to time.
Lubrication enables smooth sliding and
simultaneously serves to prevent the formation of
rust.
5. Storing
䡬 When not in use for an extended period, apply a thin
coat of the lubricant to the steel parts to avoid rust.
䡬 Do not store the Nailer in a cold weather environment.
Keep the Nailer in a warm area.
䡬 When not in use, the Nailer should be stored in a
warm and dry place.
Keep out of reach of children.
6. Service parts list
A: Item No.
B: Code No.
C: No. Used
D: Remarks
CAUTION
Repair, modification and inspection of Hitachi Power
Tools must be carried out by a Hitachi Authorized
Service Center.
This Parts List will be helpful if presented with the
tool to the Hitachi Authorized Service Center when
requesting repair or other maintenance.
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.
MODIFICATION
Hitachi Power Tools are constantly being improved
and modified to incorporate the latest technological
advancements.
Accordingly, some parts (i.e. code numbers and/or
design) may be changed without prior notice.
COMPRESSOR
CAUTION
When the maximum, operating pressure of the air
compressor exceeds 8.3 bar (120 psi.), be sure to
provide a reducing valve between the air compressor
and nailer. Then, adjust the air pressure within the
operating range of 4.9 – 8.3 bar (70 – 120 psi.). If the
air set is installed, lubrication is also possible, thus
providing additional convenience.
OILER-FILTER-REDUCING VALVE (Air Set)
So that the equipment can be operated under an optimum
condition to ensure extended service life, it is
recommended to use an oiler filter reducing valve. Please
limit the length of the hose between the unit and the air
set to within 10 m when using (See Fig. 15).
