HIKOKI NV 100H Mode D'emploi page 11

NOTE
Be careful not to deform the collated wires and not to
disengage the nails with the guide surface.
Otherwise, the nail guide will not close correctly.
CAUTION
To prevent unintentional operation, never touch the
trigger or place the top end of the push lever on a work
bench or fl oor. Also, never face the nail outlet toward
any part of a person.
NOTE
Before loading the nails in the magazine, position the
nail holder according to the length of the nail. If the nail
holder position is not adjusted properly, nail feed may
jam. If the cover is forcibly closed without adjusting
the position of the nail holder, the nail holder may be
damaged.
HOW TO USE THE NAILER
CAUTION
○ Do not use the body or any portion of the tool as a
hammer as nails may be discharged unexpectedly or
the tool may become damaged and serious injury could
occur.
○ Take precautions to ensure the safety of persons in the
vicinity during operation.
○ Ensure tool is always safely engaged on the workpiece
and cannot slip.
○ Never carry a pneumatic tool by its hose.
○ Never drag a pneumatic tool by its hose.
1. Set the lock lever to "Free" position
Turn the lock lever and align it with the "Free" position
(Fig. 9).
2. How to drive nails
This device is equipped with a mechanism allowing
"intermittent operation" or "continuous operation" for
most eff ective use according to the type material the
nails will be driven into.
(1) Intermittent operation
Intermittent operation nail driving is used when the
fi nished appearance is important and when driving
a nail in a particular spot.
against the spot where you will drive the nail.
the nails one at a time by pulling the trigger (Fig. 11).
NOTE
Use "intermittent operation" when you are aiming at a
particular spot to drive the nail.
(2) Continuous operation
To drive nails with contact drive:
Then press the nail dispenser up against the spots
you want, to drive the nails one after another at those
spots (Fig. 12).
NOTE
○ In intermittent operation, you cannot drive nails with the
trigger still held down, by again pressing the push-lever
up against the target spot. To continually drive nails one
after another, release your fi nger from the trigger and
switch to "continuous operation".
○ If a nail driver placed on the fl oor (push-lever pressed
against the fl oor) is picked up while pulling the trigger,
the nail driver will shift to single shot and it may be
impossible to shoot nails even if the push-lever is
pressed against something. If that happens, release
your fi nger from the trigger and then try driving nails
again.
CAUTION
Exercise care when nailing corners of lumber. When
continuous nailing corners of lumber, a nail may go
astray or break through the corner.
Press the push-lever up
Drive
First, pull the trigger.
NOTE
○ Precautions on no-load operation.
Sometimes nailing will continue after driving in all nails
previously contained in the magazine.
This is termed "no-load operation". Such operation may
deteriorate the bumper, magazine, and nail feeder.
To avoid no-load operation, occasionally confi rm the
amount of remaining nails. On the other hand, all nails
should be removed after using this nailer.
○ After completing operation, put into the body about 2 cc
oil through the hose joint to protect the tool from rust.
○ Under low temperature conditions, the machine
sometimes does not operate correctly. Always operate
the machine at the appropriate ambient temperature.
3. Driving nails into steel plating
CAUTION
○ Use C-beam steel with a thickness of 3.2 mm or less.
○ Use hardened nails designed for use with steel plating.
○ Place the nailer vertically over the location into which
the nail is to be driven.
○ Do not drive nails directly into C-beam steel or attach
wire mesh laths, galvanized steel etc. directly onto it.
○ Do not use the nailer on roofs or ceilings.
[Selecting hardened nails for steel plating]
CAUTION
Make sure that the length of the hardened nails
designed for use with steel plating is of the correct
thickness for the C-beam steel.
If the nail is too long for the material, the nail cannot be
driven enough into the C-beam steel and it may result in
bent nails, personal injury or accident.
Refer to the following fi gure to select the correct nail length.
[Selecting Nail Length]
Material Thickness
15 to 45 mm
22 to 47 mm
30 to 55 mm
C-beam Steel
(Thickness: 1.6 mm to a
maximum of 3.2 mm)
NOTE
○ Holding power will be greatly decreased if nails are
driven too hard into steel plating, adjust the driving
depth of the nail by the adjuster.
○ There are cases in which the nails will not be driven
in suffi ciently depending on a combination of the
hardness and thickness of the C-beam or material.
The external material
and steel plating is not
deformed.
