TESTING THE NAILER
DANGER
Operators and others in
work area MUST wear
safety glapsses with
side shields which
conforms to ANSI Z87.1
specifications.
WARNING
Never use Nailer unless push lever is operating
properly.
Before actually beginning the nailing work, test the Nailer
by using the checklist below. Conduct the tests in the
following order.
If abnormal operation occurs, stop using the Nailer and
contact a Hitachi authorized service center immediately.
(1) DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM NAILER.
REMOVE ALL NAILS FROM NAILER.
ALL SCREWS MUST BE TIGHTENED.
If any screws are loose, tighten them.
THE PUSH LEVER AND TRIGGER MUST MOVE
SMOOTHLY.
5. Air consumption
Using the Air consumption table and the Air
compressor size formula, find a correct compressor size.
Air consumption table
Air compressor size formula
Amount of air required
=number of Nailers
×average nails driven each minute per Nailer
×air consumption at given air pressure
×safety factor (always 1.2)
Example: 2 Nailers operating at 100 psi driving 30 nails
per minute
Amount of air required
=2 ×30 ×.088 (2.5) ×1.2
=6.3 CFM (ft3/min) (180 ltr/min)
After making the calculations as shown above, you
should find a compressor providing 6.3 CFM of air that
is required.
LUBRICATION
It is important that the Nailer be properly lubricated.
Without proper lubrication, the Nailer will not work
properly and parts will wear prematurely.
Use Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant.
Do not use detergent oil or additives. These lubricants
will harm the O-rings and other rubber parts. This will
cause the Nailer to malfunction.
Filter-regulator-lubricator units should always be used.
Keep the lubricator filled with Hitachi pneumatic tool
lubricant.
If a lubricator is not available, supply 5 – 10 drops of
Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant into the air plug on
the Nailer twice a day.
COLD WEATHER CARE
Do not store the Nailer in a cold weather environment.

First, pull the trigger; next, press the push lever against
the wood to drive the nail.
If the trigger is held back, a nail will be driven each
time the push lever is pressed against the wood.
METHODS OF OPERATION
This Nailer is equipped with the push lever and does not
operate unless the push lever is depressed (upward
position).
There are two methods of operation to drive nails with
this Nailer.
They are:
1. Intermittent operation (Trigger fire):
2. Continuous operation (Push lever fire):
(1) Intermittent operation (Trigger fire)
Use the SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION
MECHANISM setting.
WARNING
䢇For intermittent operation, set the switching
device to the leftward position completely. (i.e. Set
to SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION
MECHANISM.)
䢇To avoid double firing or accidental firing due to
recoil.
1) Set the switching device to SINGLE
SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM.
2) Pull the trigger rapidly and firmly.
1Set the switching device to the leftward position (to
set to SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION
MECHANISM).
(Set the switching device to the leftward position
completely as shown in the diagram. Otherwise, it
will be set to CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM.)
2Position the nail outlet on the workpiece with finger
off the trigger.
3Depress the push lever firmly until it is completely
depressed.
4Pull the trigger to drive a nail.
5Remove finger from the trigger.
To continue nailing in a separate location, move the
nailer along the wood, repeating steps 2- 5as
required.
WARNING
䢇NEVER point tool at yourself or others in work
area.
䢇Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving
nails to avoid accidental firing.
䢇Choice of triggering method is important.
Please read and understand “Methods of
Operation” below.
䢇Before starting work, check the nailing operation
switching device.
This Hitachi nailer includes a nailing operation
switching device.
Before starting work, make sure that the switching
device is properly set.
If the switching device is not set properly, the
nailer will not operate correctly.
䢇Never place your hands or feet closer than 8 inches
(200 mm) from firing head when using.
䢇Do not drive nails on top of other nails or with
Nailer at too steep of an angle; nails can ricochet
and hurt someone.
䢇Do not drive nails into thin boards or near corners
and edges of workpiece. Nails can be driven
through or away from workpiece and hit someone.
䢇Never drive nails from both sides of a wall at the
same time. Nails can be driven into and through
the wall and hit a person on the opposite side.
䢇Never use Nailer which is defective or operating
abnormally.
䢇Do not use Nailer as hammer.
䢇Disconnect air hose from Nailer when:
1) it is not in use;
2) leaving work area;
3) moving it to another location; and
4) handing it to another person.
This Hitachi nailer is equipped with a nailer operation

WARNING
䢇Keep your finger off the trigger except during
fastening operation, beacuse serious injury could
result if the push lever accidentally contacts you or
others in work area.
䢇Keep hands and body away from the discharge
area. This Hitachi nailer may bounce from the recoil
of driving a fastener and unwanted subsequent
fastener may be driven, possibly causing injury.
䢇Some types of loaded nails can spark out of the
muzzle during a nail driving operation. Exericise
caution!
The SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM is
for use where precision fastener placement is desired.
The SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM may
reduce the possibility of bodily injury to you or others in
the work area compared to the CONTACT ACTUATION
MECHANISM. This is because it is less likely to drive an
unwanted nail if you keep the trigger pulled and
accidentally bump the push lever against yourself or
others.
The SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM may
also reduce the speed of operation compared to the
CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM. The SINGLE
SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM is recommended
to inexperienced users.
NOTE:
䢇If all warnings and instructions are followed, safe
operation is possible with two systems: SINGLE
SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM and
CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM.
䢇Always handle nails and package carefully. If nails are
dropped, collating paper may be broken.
䢇After nailing:
1) disconnect air hose from the Nailer;
2) remove all nails from the Nailer;
3) supply 5 – 10 drops of Hitachi pneumatic tool
lubricant into the air plug on the Nailer; and
4) open the petcock on the air compressor tank to
drain any moisture.
WARNING
䢇A nail will fire each time the trigger is depressed as
long as the push lever remains depressed.
(2) Continuous operation (Push lever fire)
Using CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM
WARNING
䢇To avoid double firing or accidental firing due to
recoil.
1) Do not press the nailer against the wood with
excessive force.
2) Separate the nailer from the wood as it recoils
after nailing.
1Set the switching device to the rightward position
(to set to CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM).
(Set the switching device to the rightward position
completely as shown in the diagram. Otherwise, it
will not operate properly.)
2Pull the trigger with the Nailer off the workpiece.
3Depress the push lever against the workpiece to
drive a nail.
4Move the Nailer along the workpiece with a
bouncing motion.
Each depression of the push lever will drive a nail.

L’employeur doit veiller à ce que la personne qui utilise le cloueur et les autres personnes dans
l’aire de travail portent des lunettes de protection.
2. NE JAMAIS UTILISER D’OXYGÈNE NI AUCUN AUTRE GAZ EN BOUTEILLE. IL POURRAIT SE PRODUIRE
UNE EXPLOSION.
Ne jamais utiliser d’oxygène, de gaz combustibles ni aucun autre gaz en bouteille comme source
d’alimentation du cloueur.
L’utilisation de ces gaz serait dangereuse, car le cloueur exploserait.
Utiliser exclusivement de l’air comprimé propre, sec et régulé.
AVERTISSEMENT
3. NE JAMAIS DIRIGER L’OUTIL VERS SOI NI VERS QUELQU’UN D’AUTRE DANS L’AIRE DE TRAVAIL.
Toujours supposer que le cloueur renferme des clous.
Ne jamais diriger le cloueur vers soi ni vers quelqu’un d’autre, qu’il renferme des clous ou non.
Si l’on enfonce des clous par erreur, cela risque de provoquer des blessures graves.
Ne jamais s’amuser avec le cloueur.
Le cloueur est un instrument de travail. Le respecter.
4. NE PAS APPROCHER LES DOIGTS DE LA GÂCHETTE QUAND ON N’EFFECTUE PAS DE CLOUAGE POUR
ÉVITER TOUT RISQUE DE DÉCLENCHEMENT ACCIDENTEL.

Ne porter ni vêtements lâches ni bijoux qui pourraient
se prendre dans les pièces en mouvement.
Porter des gants de caoutchouc et des chaussures
solides si l’on travaille dehors.
Si l’on a les cheveux longs, les maintenir serrés dans
un couvre-chef.
13. NE JAMAIS UTILISER DE COUPLEUR NON
DEGAGEANT SUR LE CLOUEUR.
Si l’on utilise un coupleur non dégageant sur le
cloueur, le cloueur risque de rester chargé d’air après
le débranchement, et donc d’enfoncer un clou même
après qu’il est débranché.
Le cloueur et le tuyau d’air doivent avoir un coupleur
de tuyau tel que toute la pression soit évacuée du
cloueur quand on débranche le joint de couplage.
14. VERIFIER LE LEVIER-POUSSOIR AVANT
L’UTILISATION.
S’assurer que le levier-poussoir fonctionne
correctement. (Le levier-poussoir est parfois appelé
“sécurité”.) Ne jamais utiliser le cloueur si le levier-
poussoir ne fonctionne pas correctement. Un clou
pourrait s’enfoncer accidentellement. Ne pas toucher
au levier-poussoir ni le retirer, car il pourrait ne plus
fonctionner.
15. VEILLER A CE QUE TOUTES LES VIS ET LES
COUVERCLES SOIENT EN PLACE ET BIEN
SERRES.
Veiller à ce que les vis et les couvercles soient
solidement fixés. Les vérifier périodiquement.
Ne jamais utiliser le cloueur si des pièces manquent
ou sont endommagées.
16. NE PAS CHARGER DE CLOUS SI LA GACHETTE
OU LE LEVIER-POUSSOIR SONT ENFONCES.
Quand on charge des clous dans le cloueur ou qu’on
raccorde le tuyau d’air,
1) ne pas appuyer sur la gâchette ;
2) ne pas actionner le levier-poussoir ; et
3) diriger le cloueur vers le bas.
17. ELOIGNER LES MAINS ET LES PIEDS DE LA
TETE DE CLOUAGE PENDANT L’UTILISATION.
Ne jamais approcher les mains ni les pieds à moins de
8 pouces (200 mm) de la tête de clouage.
Il y a risque de blessures graves si les clous sont
déviés par la pièce ou qu’ils sont déportés au-delà du
point d’entrée.
18. PLACER LE CLOUEUR CORRECTEMENT SUR LA
PIECE.
Ne pas enfoncer de clous sur d’autres clous ni avec le
cloueur à un angle trop aigu ; les clous pourraient
ricocher et blesser quelqu’un.
19. AVANT DE COMMENCER LE TRAVAIL, VÉRIFIER
LE DISPOSITIF DE COMMUTATION DE
L’OPÉRATION DE CLOUAGE.
Ce cloueur Hitachi comprend un dispositif de
commutation de l’opération de clouage.
Avant de commencer le travail, vérifier le réglage du
dispositif de commutation de l’opération de clouage.
Si le dispositif de commutation de l’opération de
clouage n’est pas réglé correctement, le cloueur ne
fonctionnera pas correctement.
20. FAIRE ATTENTION AUX DOUBLES
ACTIVATIONS DUES AU RAPPEL.
Si on laisse le levier-poussoir entrer accidentellement
en contact avec la pièce après le rappel, un clou risque
d’être enfoncé.
Pour éviter ce risque:
䡬Fonctionnement intermittent (déclenchement par
gâchette)
1) Régler le dispositif de commutation sur la
position MÉCANISME DE DÉCLENCHEMENT
SÉQUENTIEL UNIQUE.
2) Tirer sur la gâchette rapidement et fermement.
䡬Fonctionnement continu (déclenchement par levier-
poussoir)
1) Ne pas appuyer trop fort le cloueur contre le bois.
2) Eloigner le cloueur du bois car il effectue un
rappel après le clouage.
21. NE PAS ENFONCER DE CLOUS DANS DES
PLANCHES MINCES NI PRES DES COINS ET DES
BORDS DE LA PIECE.
Les clous pourraient traverser la pièce ou s’enfoncer
ailleurs que dans la pièce et blesser quelqu’un.
22. NE JAMAIS ENFONCER DE CLOUS DES DEUX
COTES D’UN MUR EN MEME TEMPS.
Les clous pourraient traverser le mur et blesser
quelqu’un de l’autre côté.
23. VERIFIER S’IL Y A DES FILS SOUS TENSION.
Pour éviter tout risque d’électrocution grave, vérifier
s’il y a des fils sous tension dissimulés dans le mur, le
plancher ou le plafond. Couper le disjoncteur pour
s’assurer qu’il n’y a pas de fils sous tension.
24. NE PAS TRANSPORTER LE CLOUEUR PAR LE
TUYAU.
25. NE PAS TROP SE PENCHER.
Conserver une bonne assise et un bon équilibre à tout
moment.
