1. Power source
䡬
Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source for this Nailer.
䡬
Air compressors used to supply compressed air to this Nailer must comply with the
requirements of the latest version of ANSI Standard B 19.3 “Safety Standard For
Compressors For Process Industries.”
䡬
Moisture or oil in the air compressor may accelerate wear and corrosion in the Nailer.
Drain daily.
2. Filter-Regulator-Lubricator
䡬
Use a regulator with a pressure range of 0 – 120 psi (0 – 8.3 bar
0 – 8.5 kgf/cm
2
).
䡬
Filter-regulator-lubricator units supply an optimum condition for the Nailer and extend
the Nailer life. These units should always be used.
Filter
The filter removes moisture and dirt mixed in compressed air.
Drain daily unless fitted with an automatic drain.
Keep the filter clean by regular maintenance.
Regulator
The regulator controls the operating pressure for safe operation of the
Nailer.
Inspect the regulator before operation to be sure it operates properly.
Lubricator
The lubricator supplies an oil mist to the Nailer.
Inspect the lubricator before operation to be sure the supply of lubricant
is adequate.
Use Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant.
