IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING NAILERS
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTOR.
2. NEVER USE BOTTLED GASES.
SAFETY
DANGER
When operating the Nailer, always wear eye protector with side shields, and make sure others in work area wear eye protector, too. Eye protector 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 eye protector by the Nailer operator and others in work area.
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. DO NOT EXCEED 120 psi.
Do not exceed maximum recommended air pressure120 psi (8.3 bar
8.5 kgf/cm Never connect the Nailer to pressure which potentially exceeds 200 psi (13.7 bar 14 kgf/cm2) as the Nailer can burst.
4. NEVER POINT NAILER TOWARD YOURSELF OR ANYONE ELSE.
Always assume the Nailer contains fasteners. Never point the Nailer toward yourself or anyone else, whether it contains fasteners or not. If fasteners are mistakenly driven, it can lead to severe injuries. Never engage in horseplay with the Nailer. Respect the Nailer as a working implement.
5. NEVER CARRY WITH FINGER ON TRIGGER.
Remove finger from trigger when not driving fasteners. Never carry the Nailer with finger on trigger since you could drive a fastener unintentionally and injure yourself or someone else. Always carry the Nailer by the handle only.
6. ALWAYS WEAR EAR AND HEAD PROTECTOR.
Always wear ear protector to protect your ears from loud noise. Always wear head protector to protect your head from flying objects.
7. 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.
8. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.
Cluttered areas invite injuries. Clear all work areas of unnecessary tools, debris, furniture, etc.
9. 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.
10. KEEP VISITORS AWAY.
Do not let visitors handle the Nailer. All visitors should be kept safely away from work area.

WARNING
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. CHECK PUSH LEVER BEFORE USE.
Make sure the push lever operates properly. (The push lever may be called ìSafetyî.) Never use the Nailerunless 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.
14. 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.
15. DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS WITH TRIGGER OR PUSH LEVER DEPRESSED.
When loading fasteners into the Nailer or when connecting the air hose,
1) do not depress the trigger;
2) do not depress the push lever; and
3) keep the Nailer pointed downward.
16. KEEP HANDS AND FEET AWAY FROM FIRING HEAD DURING USE.
Never place your hands or feet closer than 8 inches (200 mm) from the firing head. A serious injury can result if the fasteners are deflected by the workpiece, or are driven away from the point of entry.
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.
21. CHECK FOR LIVE WIRES.
Avoid the risk of severe electrical shock by checking for live electrical wires that may be hidden by walls, floors or ceilings. Turn off the breaker switch to ensure there are no live wires.
22. NEVER CARRY NAILER BY HOSE.
23. DO NOT OVERREACH.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
24. NEVER USE NAILER WHICH IS DEFECTIVE OR OPERATING ABNORMALLY.
If the Nailer appears to be operating unusually, making strange noises, or otherwise appears defective, stop using it immediately and arrange for repairs by a Hitachi authorized service center.
25. DO NOT DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM NAILER WITH FINGER ON TRIGGER.
The Nailer can fire when re-connected to an air supply.
