C. Related laws and regulations
As nailers and staplers are designed to instantaneously punch nails and staples, there is an ever-present
danger of misfiring and subsequent possible serious injury. Accordingly, close attention to handling is
absolutely necessary at all times. Carefully ensure that the customer is fully aware of the precautions listed
in the Instruction Manual provided with each unit.
While there are no specific safety regulations, there are related items in various general safety regulations
with which the salespersons should be familiar, in order to properly advise the customer. Please check your
national and/or local regulations for applicable items. Some applicable items are outlined below.

D. Precautions on operation
(1) Pay special attention to the pressure, capacity and piping of the air compressor, in order to regulate air
pressure supplied to the Model NV 65HMC within the range from 12 kgf/cm
2
(170 psi, 12 bar) to 23
kgf/cm
2
(320 psi, 23 bar). Otherwise the performance, service life and safety of the Model NV 65HMC
may be adversely affected. Be sure to install a regulator when using a high-pressure air compressor
with pressure set to 23 kgf/cm
2
(320 psi, 23 bar) or more. In this case, adjust the air pressure to 23
kgf/cm
2
(320 psi, 23 bar) or less.
(2) If the dust in compressed air accumulates on the sliding portion, the Model NV 65HMC will not operate
properly. Lubrication effectively removes dust and also prolongs the service life of the Model NV 65HMC
in terms of maintaining good performance. Therefore, the Model NV 65HMC should be lubricated daily.
Supply five to ten drops of lubricant into the air plug on the Model NV 65HMC.
When not using the tool for an extended period, be sure to supply lubricant and perform idle punching
two or three items to lubricate inside, and then apply a thin coating of lubricant to the steel parts to avoid
rusting.

The table below shows the applicable lubricant. Please recommend the use of Hitachi nailer/tacker oil
to all customers.
Type of oil
Brand or product name
Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant
Shell sliding oil, Tonna S32
(Old Tonna T32);
Code No. 877153 (1 oz. oil feeder)
Code No. 874042 (4 oz. oil feeder)
Code No. 876212 (1 L (1 quart) can))
(3) Be sure to fully drain the compressor’s tank to prevent deteriorated performance or malfunction of the
Model NV 65HMC due to rusting.
(4) Instruct the customers (especially heavy users) to properly conduct inspection and maintenance.
