This Hitachi nailer is equipped with a nailer operation
switching device.
Use FULL SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM or
CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM in accordance with
the work to be performed.
Explanation of the various nailing operations
○ FULL SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM:
First, press the push lever against the wood; next, pull
the trigger to drive the nail.
Follow the same sequence to continue driving nails.
After nailing once, nailing will not be possible again until
the trigger is released and pressed again.
○ CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM:
CONTACT ACTUATION can follow two diff erent
sequences, depending on your use.
To drive several nails:
1. Pull the trigger.
2. Press the push lever against the wood to drive the
nail.
3. If the trigger is held back, a nail will be driven each
time the push lever is pressed against the wood.
To drive a single nail:
1. Press the push lever against the wood.
2. Pull the trigger to drive the nail.
3. Remove your fi nger from the trigger and remove the
nailer from the wood.
[Dry-fi re lockout mechanism]
The NT1865DBAL, NT1865DBSL employs a preventive
mechanism for unloaded operation.
The NT1865DBAL, NT1865DBSL 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
Use caution not to throw the push lever tip onto wood
when the push lever cannot be pushed up.
1. Nailing procedures
This Nailer is equipped with the push lever and does not
operate unless the push lever is depressed.
There are two methods of operation to drive nails with
this Nailer.
They are:
1. Intermittent operation (Trigger fi re):
2. Continuous operation (Push lever fi re):
(1) Intermittent operation (Trigger fi re)
Use the FULL SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM
setting. (See Fig. 17)
WARNING
○ For intermittent operation, Set the nailing operation switch
to FULL SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM
(Nailing operation indicator is light in blue.) (i.e. Set to
SINGLE ACTUATION MECHANISM.)
○ To avoid double fi ring or accidental fi ring due to recoil.
1) Set to FULL SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION
MECHANISM.
2) Pull the trigger rapidly and fi rmly.
1 Set the nailing operation switch to FULL SEQUENTIAL
ACTUATION MECHANISM (Nailing operation indicator
is light in blue.)
(to set to FULL SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION
MECHANISM).
(Set the switching device to the nailing operation
indicator light in blue mode completely as shown in
the Fig. 17. Otherwise, it will be set to CONTACT
ACTUATION MECHANISM.)
2 Position the nail outlet on the workpiece with fi nger off
the trigger.
3 Depress the push lever fi rmly until it is completely
depressed.
4 Pull the trigger to drive a nail.
5 Remove fi nger from the trigger and lift the tool off the
wood surface completely.
To continue nailing in a separate location, move the nailer
along the wood, repeating steps 2 - 5 as required.
NOTE
Operations 3 and
4 should be done within 2 seconds
of each other. If more than 2 seconds pass after 3, the
Nailer will not work properly. If this happens, retry from
3.
(2) Continuous operation (Push lever fi re)
Using CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM (See Fig.
18)
WARNING
To avoid double fi ring or accidental fi ring due to recoil.
1) Do not press the nailer against the wood with
excessive force.
2) Separate the nailer from the wood as it recoils after
nailing.
1 Set the nailing operation switch to CONTACT
ACTUATION MECHANISM (Nailing operation indicator
is blink in blue.)
(to set to CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM).
(Set the switching device to the nailing operation
indicator blink in blue completely as shown in the Fig.
18. Otherwise, it will not operate properly.)
2 Pull the trigger with the Nailer off the workpiece.
3 Depress the push lever against the workpiece to drive a
nail.
4 Move the Nailer along the workpiece with a bouncing
motion.
Each depression of the push lever will drive a nail.
As soon as the desired number of nails have been driven,
remove fi nger from the trigger.
NOTE
Operations 2 and 3 should be done within 2 seconds
of each other. If more than 2 seconds pass after 2, the
Nailer will not work properly. If this happens, retry from
2.
WARNING
○ Keep your fi nger off the trigger except during nailing
operation, because serious injury could result if the push
lever accidentally contacts you or others in work area.
○ Keep hands and body away from the discharge area.
This Hitachi nailer may bounce from the recoil of driving
a nail and unwanted subsequent nail may be driven,
possibly causing injury.
NOTE
○ If all warnings and instructions are followed, safe
operation is possible with all two systems: FULL
SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM, CONTACT
ACTUATION MECHANISM.
○ Always handle nails and package carefully. If nails are
dropped, collating bond may be broken, which will cause
mis-feeding and jamming.
○ After nailing:
1) remove battery from the Nailer;
2) remove all nails from the Nailer;
2. Adjusting the nailing depth
To assure that each nail penetrates to the same depth,
be sure that the Nailer 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 battery from the Nailer.
2 If nails are driven too deep, turn the adjuster to the
shallow side. (See Fig. 19)
Adjustments are in half-turn increments.
If nails are driven too shallow, turn the adjuster to the
deep side. (See Fig. 20)
3 Stop turning the adjuster when a suitable position is
reached for a nailing test.
4 Connect the battery to the Nailer.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
Perform a nailing test.
