Work Area; Personal Safety - Hitachi NR 83A5 Manuel D'instructions

When using tools, basic precautions should always be followed, Including the following:

1. Work area

(1) Keep the work area clean and well lighted.
Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the risks
of electric shock, fi re, and injury to persons.
(2) Do not operate the Nailer in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
fl ammable liquids, gases, or combustible dust.
The Nailer is able to create sparks resulting in the
ignition of the dust or fumes.
(3) Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating the Nailer. Distractions are able to
result in the loss of control of the Nailer.

2. Personal safety

(1) Stay alert. Focus on your work and use common
sense when working with the Nailer. Do not use
the Nailer while tired, after having consumed
drugs or alcohol, or while under the infl uence of
medication.
A moment of inattention while operating the Nailer
increases the risk of injury to persons.
(2) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair increases the
risk of injury to persons as a result of being caught in
moving parts.

is off before connecting to the air supply. Do
not carry the Nailer with your fi nger on the switch or
connect the Nailer to the air supply with the switch on.

Nailer and removed all remaining fasteners from the
Nailer. The Nailer should never be left unattended
since people who are not familiar with the Nailer
might handle it and injure the themselves.

and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against the body is
unstable and is able to lead to loss of control.

the application. The correct Nailer will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which the Nailer is
designed.

turn the Nailer on or off . Any Nailer that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Never use Nailer which is defective or operating
abnormally. If the Nailer appears to be operating
unusually, making strange noises, or otherwise
appears defective, stop using it immediately and
arrange for repairs by a Hitachi authorized service
center.
