These values are determined and documented in accordance to EN12549:1999+A1:2008.
NOTE: These values are tool-related characteristic values and do not represent the noise generation at the point of use. Noise at the point
of use will for example depend on the working environment, the workpiece, the workpiece support, and the number of driving operations.
In addition, reference should be made to noise reduction measures.
NOTE: Workplace design can also serve to reduce noise levels, for example placing workpieces on sound-damping supports (see also ISO
11690-1).
VIBRATION
These values are determined and documented in accordance to ISO 28927-13
NOTE: The vibration emission value above is a tool-related characteristic value and does not represent the influence to the hand-arm-sys-
tem when using the tool. Any influence to the hand-arm-system when using the tool will for example depend on the gripping force, the con-
tact pressure force, the working direction, the adjustment of energy supply, the workpiece, the workpiece support.

2. AIR SUPPLY AND CONNEC-
TIONS (Fig.3)
A. HOSES AND SUPPLY SOURCE
WHEN USING THE TOOL, BE SURE TO USE A SPECIAL AIR
COMPRESSOR AND AIR HOSE.
In order to improve its performance, it has set its working pres-
sure higher than the conventional nailers. To use the tool, you al-
ways need the special air compressor 1and the air hose 2
(MAX PowerLite Compressor and MAX PowerLite Hose).
Use of high pressure gas (for example, oxygen, acetylene, etc.)
causes abnormal combustion, possibly resulting in explosion.
Use only the special air compressor and air hose.
B. OPERATING PRESSURE:
HN25C2: 12 to 23 bar / 170 to 320 p.s.i.
HN120: 15 to 23 bar / 210 to 320 p.s.i.
Select the operating air pressure within this range for best per-
formance based upon the fastener application and work surface.
Using the lowest acceptable to minimize noise, vibration and
wear.
DO NOT EXCEED 23 bar / 320 p.s.i.
NOTICE:
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for the best
performance. Upon completion of operations, place 2 or 3 drops
of oil into the air plug inlet with the jet oiler.

2" (50 mm) or more has been fed out it can be torn away by pulling
against the tear edge in the nose.
TROUBLESHOOTING
HN120
• The Machine is not activated even if it is operated correctly.
(Fig.21)
When the pins (or nails) are not fed properly, a locking mech-
anism works to deactivate the Machine. (Unless the feed pawl
is completely OUT, it comes into contact with a feed pawl 1
retainer 2, disabling pin/nail driving work.)
If the feed pawl is not located appropriately, remove the pins
(or nails) and set them again.
• No pin (or nail) is driven even if the Machine is operated cor-
rectly.
1If the Machine is activated, but no pin (or nail) is actually
driven, check the following:
2Check whether or not the pins (or nails) have been set prop-
erly onto the feed pawl.
3Check whether or not the pins (or nails) have come off the
Plastic sheet.
∗If this is the case, cut off the empty Plastic sheet and set
the pins (or nails) again.
4Check whether or not the feed pawl and feed piston are be-
ing activated.
∗If not activated, apply 5 to 6 oil drips from the air plug.
