by DANGERS and WARNINGS on the Nailer and in this Manual.
Never use this Nailer for applications other than those specified in this Manual.

FOR USING NAILERS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
1. OPERATORS AND OTHERS IN WORK AREA MUST WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE
SHIELDS.
When operating the Nailer, always wear safety glasses with side shields,
and make sure others in work area wear safety glasses, too.
Safety glasses must conform to the requirements of American National
Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1 and provide protection against flying particles
both from the front and side.
The employer must enforce the use of safety glasses by the Nailer operator
and others in work area.
2. NEVER USE OXYGEN OR OTHER BOTTLED GASSES. EXPLOSION MAY OCCUR.
Never use oxygen, combustible gases or any other bottled gases as a power
source for the Nailer.
Use of the above gases is dangerous, as the Nailer will explode.
Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air.
WARNING
3. NEVER POINT TOOL AT YOURSELF OR OTHERS IN WORK AREA.
Always assume the Nailer contains fasteners.
Never point the Nailer at yourself toward yourself or others, whether it
contains fasteners or not.

Never engage in horseplay with the Nailer.
Respect the Nailer as a working implement.
4. DO NOT EXCEED 120 psi. (8.3 bar 8.5 kgf/cm2)
Do not exceed maximum recommended air pressure 120 psi (8.3
bar 8.5 kgf/cm2).
Never connect the Nailer to pressure which potentially exceeds
200 psi (13.7 bar 14 kgf/cm2) as the Nailer can burst.

WARNING
5. ALWAYS WEAR EAR AND HEAD
PROTECTION.
Always wear ear protection to protect
your ears from loud noise.
Always wear head protection to protect
your head from flying objects.
6. STORE NAILER PROPERLY.
When not in use, the Nailer should be
stored in a dry place. Keep out of reach
of children. Lock the storage area.
7. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.
Cluttered areas invite injuries. Clear all
work areas of unnecessary tools, debris,
furniture, etc.
8. NEVER USE IN PRESENCE OF
FLAMMABLE 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.
9. KEEP VISITORS AWAY.
Do not let visitors handle the Nailer.
All visitors should be kept safely away
from work area.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. CONNECT AIR HOSE BEFORE NAIL
LOADING AND CHECK THE
FOLLOWINGS.
Check for air leakage and abnormal noise.
Use of the Nailer in an abnormal
condition may cause accidents or injuries.
If any abnormality is detected, ask your
dealer or HITACHI authorized service
center for repair.
13. 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.
14. KEEP FACE, HANDS AND FEET AWAY
FROM FIRING HEAD AT ALL TIMES.
Never place your face, hands or feet near
the firing head.
15. 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.
16. BE CAREFUL OF NAILER REPULSION.
When a nail is shot against a hard
material, the Nailer may bounce back. Do
not bring your face close to it.
17. 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.
