After making the calculations as shown above, you should find a compressor
providing 5 CFM of air that is required.
LUBRICATION
It is important that the Stapler be properly lubricated.
Without proper lubrication, the Stapler will not work properly and parts will wear prematurely.
䡬
Use Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant.
Do not use detergent oil or additives. These lubricants will harm the O-rings and other
rubber parts. This will cause the Stapler to malfunction.
䡬
Filter-regulator-lubricator units should always be used.
Keep the lubricator filled with Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant.
䡬
If a lubricator is not available, supply 2 – 3 drops of Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant into
the air plug on the Stapler twice a day.
COLD WEATHER CARE
䡬
Do not store the Stapler in a cold weather environment.
Keep the Stapler in a warm area until beginning the work.
䡬
If the Stapler is already cold, bring it in a warm area and allow the Stapler to warm up
before use.
1
Reduce the air pressure to 40 psi (2.8 bar 2.8 kgf/cm
2
).
2
Remove all staples from the Stapler.
3
Connect the air hose and free-fire (blank-fire) the Stapler.
The lowered air pressure will be enough to free-fire the Stapler.
Slow speed operation tends to warm up the moving part.
●
Always wear eye protector.
CAUTION:
●
Do not free-fire the Stapler at high pressure.
TESTING THE STAPLER
●
Never use Stapler unless push lever is operating properly.
