10. 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.
11. KEEP VISITORS AWAY.
Do not let visitors handle the Nailer.
All visitors should be kept safely away from work
area.
12. DRESS PROPERLY.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be
caught in moving parts.
Rubber
gloves
and
recommended when working outdoors.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
13. 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.
14. CHECK PUSH LEVER BEFORE USE.
Make sure the push lever operates properly.
(The push lever may be called "Safety".) Never
use the Nailer unless 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.
15. 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.
16. DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS WITH TRIGGER OR
PUSH LEVER DEPRESSED.
When loading fasteners into the Nailer or when
connecting the air hose,
SAFETY

1) do not depress the trigger;
2) do not depress the push lever; and
3) keep the Nailer pointed downward.
17. KEEP HANDS AND FEET AWAY FROM FIRING
HEAD DURING USE.
Never place your hands or feet closer than 8 inches
(200 mm) from the fi ring head.
A serious injury can result if the fasteners are
defl ected by the workpiece, or are driven away from
the point of entry.
18. 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.
19. BEFORE STARTING WORK, CHECK THE
NAILING OPERATION SWITCHING DEVICE.
This Hitachi nailer includes a nailing operation
switching device.
Before starting work, check the setting of the
operation switching device.
If the switching device is not set properly, the nailer
will not operate correctly.
20. 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 fi re,
○ Intermittent operation (Trigger fi ring)
1) Set the switching device to SINGLE SEQUENTIAL
ACTUATION MECHANISM.
2) Pull the trigger rapidly and fi rmly.
○ Continuous operation (Push lever fi ring)
1) Do not press the nailer against the wood with
excessive force.
2) Separate the nailer from the wood as it recoils
after nailing.
21. 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.
