11. Never use in presence of fl ammable
liquids or gases.
The Nailer produces sparks during
operation.
Never use the Nailer in sites containing
lacquer, paint, benzine, thinner, gasoline,
gases, adhesive agents, and other materials
which are combustible or explosive.
12. Keep visitors away.
Do not let visitors handle the Nailer.
All visitors should be kept safely away from
work area.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. Check push lever before use.
Make sure the push lever operates properly.
(The push lever may be called “Safety”.)
Never use the Nailer unless 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.
16. 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.
17. Do not load fasteners with trigger pulled
or push lever depressed.
When loading fasteners into the Nailer or
when connecting the air hose,
1) do not pull the trigger;
2) do not depress the push lever; and
3) keep the Nailer pointed downward.
18. Keep face, hands and feet away from
fi ring head at all times.
Never place your face, hands or feet near
the fi ring head.
19. 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.
20. Before starting work, check the
fastening operation switching device.
This Hitachi nailer includes a fastening
operation switching device.
Before starting work, check the setting of
the operation switching device.
If the switching device is not set properly,
the nailer will not operate correctly.
21. Be careful of double fi re 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
fi re,
Intermittent operation (Trigger fi ring) ○
1) Set the switching device to SINGLE
ACTUATION MECHANISM.
2) Pull the trigger rapidly and fi rmly.
Continuous operation (Push lever fi ring) ○
1) Do not press the nailer against the wood
with excessive force.
2) Separate the nailer from the wood as it
recoils after fastening.
22. 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.
23. 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.
24. Check for live wires.
Avoid the risk of severe electrical shock by
checking for live electrical wires that may
be hidden by walls, fl oors or ceilings. Turn
off the breaker switch to ensure there are
no live wires.
