17. 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.
18. BE CAREFUL OF DOUBLE FIRE 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 fire,
1) do not push the Nailer on the workpiece with
strong force;
2) take the Nailer completely away from the
workpiece using recoil, and keep the push lever
away from the workpiece until the next desirable
shot; and
3) pull the trigger and release it QUICKLY when
performing intermittent operation (trigger fire).
19. 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.
20. 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.
13. CHECK PUSH LEVER BEFORE USE.
Make sure the push lever operates properly. (The

This Hitachi nailer has a STANDARD CONTACT TRIP
MECHANISM (Bounce Fire). An OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL
TRIP MECHANISM kit (SINGLE SHOT) is available as order
part number 881973.
THE STANDARD CONTACT TRIP MECHANISM (Bounce
Fire) is for use where rapid fastener placement is desired
and must be operated in accordance with the following
“Methods of Operation”.
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)
1 Position the nail outlet on the workpiece with finger
off the trigger.
2 Depress the push lever firmly until it is completely
depressed.
3 Pull the trigger to drive a nail.
4 Remove finger from the trigger.
To drive another nail, move the Nailer along the
workpiece and repeat this procedure.

WARNING
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.
Keep hands and body away from the discharge
area. The nailer with contact trip mechanism may
bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and
unwanted subsequent fastener may be driven,
possibly causing injury.
Some types of loaded nails can spark out of the
muzzle during a nail driving operation. Exericise
caution!
THE OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM (SINGLE
SHOT PARTS) is for use where precision fastener
placement is desired and must be operated in accordance
with the following “Method of Operation”.
You must first depress the push lever (upward
position) where you wnat to drive a nail and then pull
the trigger. After the each nail is driven, completely
release the trigger and lift the tool off the work surface.
An OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM may
reduce the possibility of bodily injury to you or others
in the work area. 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. An OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM
may also reduce the speed of operation compared to
the standard contact trip mechanism.
Push Lever
(2) Continuous operation (Push lever fire)
1 Pull the trigger with the Nailer off the workpiece.
2 Depress the push lever against the workpiece to
drive a nail.
3 Move the Nailer along the workpiece with a
bouncing motion.
Each depression of the push lever will drive a nail.
As soon as the desired number of nails have been
driven, remove finger from the trigger.
NOTE:

If nails are driven too deep or shallow into the workpiece,
adjust the nailing in the following order.
