Removing the nails:
1 Lightly press the stop lever and gently pull out the
magazine cover.
2 Remove the nails from the nailer.
CAUTION
○ To prevent unintentional operation, never touch the
trigger or place the top end of the push lever on a work
bench on fl oor. Also, never face the nail outlet toward
any part of a person.
HOW TO USE THE NAILER
CAUTION
○ Do not use the housing 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.
○ Squeeze the push lever when drive a nail, otherwise the
piston can not return correctly.
○ Make sure the nailing depth when the temperature is
above 40°C or below 0°C.
○ Ensure tool is always safely engaged on the workpiece
and cannot slip.
○ Using the tool for an extended period may lead to
oil around the exhaust outlet or nose, resulting in
spattering.
To ensure that the material to be nailed stays clean,
wipe off any oil that gets on the tool.
1. Nailing procedures
This power tool is equipped with a FULL SEQUENTIAL
ACTUATION MECHANISM.
(1) Intermittent nailing
Depress the nail outlet onto the desired point; then pull
the trigger to drive a nail in a single shot (See Fig. 19).
After nailing once, nailing will not be possible again until
the trigger is released and pressed again.
(2) Push lever
When depressing the nail outlet, be sure to fully lift
the push lever (See Fig. 19) to release the safety lock.
Thus, nails cannot be driven without releasing the
safety lock even though the trigger is pulled.
NT65GS, NT65GB employs a preventive mechanism
for unloaded operation.
NT65GS, NT65GB enters a state where the push
lever cannot be pushed up. This takes place when the
magazine is not loaded with nails or when the remaining
number of nails becomes less than 6 or 9 .
CAUTION
○ Exercise care when nailing corners of lumber. When
continuous nailing corners of lumber, a nail may go
astray or break through the corner.
○ Do not drive a nail on another nail.
○ Do not drive a nail on metal parts.
○ Use caution not to throw the push lever tip onto wood
when the push lever cannot be pushed up.
NOTE
○ Under low temperature conditions, the tool sometimes
does not operate correctly. Always operate the tool at
the appropriate ambient temperature.
2. Adjusting the nailing depth
To assure that each nail penetrates to the same depth,
be sure that the tool is always held fi rmly against the
workpiece.
If nails are driven too deep or shallow into the workpiece,
adjust the nailing in the following order.
1 Remove the fuel cell and the battery from the nailer.
(See Fig. 20).
2 If nails are driven too deep, turn the adjuster to the
shallow side (See Fig. 21(a)).
Adjustments are in half-turn increments.
If nails are driven too shallow, turn the adjuster to
the deep side (See Fig. 21(b)).
3 Stop turning the adjuster when a suitable position is
reached for a nailing test.
4 Connect the fuel cell and the battery to the nailer.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTOR.
Perform a nailing test.
5 Remove the fuel cell and the battery from the nailer.
6 Choose a suitable position for the adjuster.
3. Using the hook
The hook can be installed on the right or left side.
1 Securely hold the main unit and remove the screw
using a screwdriver (Fig. 22).
2 Remove the hook and hook plate (Fig. 23).
3 Install the hook on the other side and securely
fasten with screw (Fig. 24).
NOTE
Hook can be used as a hanger.
4. Using the nose cap (See Fig. 25, 26)
If you like to protect the surface of workpiece against
scratches or markings made by the push lever, attach
the accessory nose cap to the push lever.
(1) DISCONNECT BATTERY and FUEL CELL.
(2) Put in the nose cap in the direction of the arrow as
shown in the diagram.
(3) The nose cap is marked to indicate the exit point of the
nail, making alignment easier.
○ Pull out the tip of the push lever in the reverse order of
attachment.
When not using the nose cap, attach to the storage area
in back of the magazine. (See Fig. 27, 28)

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION
Be sure to remove the battery and fuel cell during
clearing jams, inspection, maintenance and cleaning.
1. Countermeasure for nail jamming
1 DISCONNECT BATTERY and FUEL CELL.
2 Remove all nails.
3 Release the lock lever and open guide plate (See
Fig. 29).
4 Remove the jammed nail with a slotted-head
screwdriver (See Fig. 30).
5 Close guide plate and latch.
NOTE
In case of frequent jams, consult the Authorized Service
Center from which you bought this machine.
2. Inspecting the magazine
1 DISCONNECT BATTERY and FUEL CELL.
2 Clean the magazine. Remove paper chips or
wooden chips which may have accumulated in the
magazine. Lubricate it with HiKOKI gas fi nish nailer
lubricant.
3. Check on mounting screws for each part
At regular intervals check every part for loose mounting
screws. Retighten any loose screws. Operating the
equipment with loose screws untightened will incur a
hazard.
4. Inspecting the push lever
Check if the push lever can slide smoothly.
Clean up the sliding area of the push lever and use the
provided oil for lubrication from time to time. Lubrication
enables smooth sliding and simultaneously serves to
prevent the formation of rust.
