and lubricated for better and safer performance.
(7) Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may aff ect the Nailer's operation.
If damaged, have the Nailer serviced before using.
Because of high air pressure in the Nailer, cracks in
the surface are dangerous. To avoid this, do not drop
the Nailer or strike the Nailer against hard surfaces;
and do not scratch or engrave signs on the Nailer.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
Nailers. There is a risk of bursting if the Nailer is
damaged.
(8) Do not use the Nailer that is not in proper working
order. Tags and physical segregation shall be
used for control.

WARNING
5. Air source
(1) Never connect to an air source that is capable
of exceeding 200 psi (13.7 bar 14 kgf/cm
regulator fails.
Over pressurizing the Nailer is able to result in
bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of the Nailer
or serious injury to persons.
DO NOT EXCEED 120 psi (8.3 bar 8.5 kgf/cm
Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at the
rated pressure or within the rated pressure range as
marked on the Nailer.
Always verify prior to using the Nailer that the air
source has been adjusted to the rated air pressure or
within the rated air-pressure range.
(2) Never use reactive gases such as oxygen, carbon
dioxide, combustible gases or any bottled gas
as an air source for the Nailer. Such gases are
capable of explosion and serious injury to persons.
6. Others
(1) 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.
(2) Always select the switching device that is
appropriate to the application and the training of
the operator.
(3) Be careful of double fi re and being hit by the
Nailer due to spring back ("recoil"). After driving
a nail, the Nailer may recoil causing it to move away
from the work surface.
To reduce risk of injury always manage recoil by:
1) always maintaining control of the Nailer.
2) allowing recoil to move the Nailer away from work
surface.
