Make sure of the following before operation.
WORKING ENVIRONMENT
WARNING
No flammable gas, liquid or other flammable objects at worksite.
Clear the area of children or unauthorized personnel.
AIR SUPPLY
DANGER
NEVER use oxygen or other bottled gases. Explosion may occur.
WARNING
- Never connect Stapler to pressure which potentially exceeds 200 psi (13.7 bar 14kgf/cm^2 ).
- Never use non relieving coupler on Stapler.
1. Power source
Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source for this Stapler.
Air compressors used to supply compressed air to this Stapler must comply with the requirements of the latest version of ANSI Standard B 19.3 "Safety Standard For Compressors For Process Industries."
Moisture or oil in the air compressor may accelerate wear and corrosion in the Stapler. Drain daily.
2. Filter-Regulator-Lubricator
Use a regulator with a pressure range of 0-120 psi (0 -8.3 bar 0 - 8.5 kgf/cm ^2
Filter-regulator-lubricator units supply an optimum condition for the Stapler and extend the Stapler life. These units should always be used.
Filter The filter removes moisture and dirt mixed in compressed air. Drain daily unless fitted with an automatic drain. Keep the filter clean by regular maintenance.
Regulator ...... The regulator controls the operating pressure for safe operation of the Stapler. Inspect the regulator before operation to be sure it operates properly.
Lubricator .... The lubricator supplies an oil mist to the Stapler. Inspect the lubricator before operation to be sure the supply of lubricant is adequate. Use Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant.
3. Air hose
Air hose must have a minimum working pressure rating of 150 psi (10.4 bar 10.6kgf/cm^2 ) or 150% of the maximum pressure produced in the system, whichever is higher.
4. Air consumption
Using the Air consumption table and the Air compressor size formula, find a correct compressor size.
Air consumption table
| psi 80 90 100 Operating pressure (bar) (5.5) (6.2) (6.9) (kgf/cm2) (5.6) (6.3) | (7) | ||
| Air consumption | ft3/cycle .028 (.032 .039 (Iltr/cycle) | (.8) | (1.1) |
Air compressor size formula
Amount of air required
=number of Staplers
× average staples driven each minute per Stapler × air consumption at given air pressure × safety factor (always 1.2)
Example: 3 Staplers (N5010A) operating at 100 psi driving 30 staples per minute
Amount of air required
= 3× 30× .039(1.1)× 1.2
= 4.2 CFM (ft^3 /min) (119 ltr/min)
After making the calculations as shown above, you should find a compressor providing 4.2 CFM of air that is required.
LUBRICATION
It is important that the Stapler be properly lubricated. Without proper lubrication, the Stapler will not work properly and parts will wear prematurely.
Use Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant.
Do not use detergent oil or additives. These lubricants will harm the O-rings and other rubber parts. This will cause the Stapler to malfunction.
Filter-regulator-lubricator units should always be used.
Keep the lubricator filled with Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant.
If a lubricator is not available, supply 5 - 10 drops of Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant into the air plug on the Stapler twice a day.
COLD WEATHER CARE
Do not store the Stapler in a cold weather environment.
Keep the Stapler in a warm area until beginning the work.
Of the Stapler is already cold, bring it in a warm area and allow the Stapler to warm up before use.
① Reduce the air pressure to 64 psi (4.4 bar 4.5kgf/cm^2 ).
② Remove all staples from the Stapler.
③ Connect the air hose and free-fire (blank-fire) the Stapler.
The lowered air pressure will be enough to fire the Stapler.
Slow speed operation tends to warm up the moving part.
CAUTION
-Do not free-fire the Stapler at high pressure.
TESTING THE STAPLER
DANGER
Operators and others in work area MUST wear safety glasses with side shields which conforms to ANSI Z87.1 specifications.
WARNING
- Never use Stapler unless push lever is operating properly.

This Hitachi Stapler has a STANDARD CONTACT TRIP MECHANISM (Bounce Fire). An OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM kit (SINGLE SHOT) is available as order part number 876762.
THE STANDARD CONTACT TRIP MECHANISM (Bounce Fire) is for use where rapid fastener placement is desired and must be operated in accordance with the following "Methods of Operation".
METHODS OF OPERATION
This Stapler is equipped with the push lever and does not operate unless the push lever is depressed (upward position).
There are two methods of operation to drive staples with this Stapler.
They are:
- Intermittent operation (Trigger fire):
- Continuous operation (Push lever fire):
(1) Intermittent operation (Trigger fire)
① Position the staple outlet on the workpiece with finger off the trigger.
② Depress the push lever firmly until it is completely depressed.
③ Pull the trigger to drive a staple.
④ Remove finger from the trigger.
To drive another staple, move the Stapler along the workpiece and repeat this procedure.
Push lever
(2) Continuous operation (Push lever fire)
WARNING
To avoid double firing or accidental firing due to recoil.
1) Do not press the stapler against the workpiece with excessive force.
2) Separate the stapler from the workpiece as it recoils after stapling.
① Pull the trigger with the Stapler off the workpiece.
② Depress the push lever against the workpiece to drive a staple.
③ Move the Stapler along the workpiece with a bouncing motion. Each depression of the push lever will drive a staple.
As soon as the desired number of staples have been driven, remove finger from the trigger.
Previously pull the trigger
Push lever
WARNING
- Keep your finger off the trigger except during fastening 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. The Stapler with contact trip mechanism may bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and unwanted subsequent fastener may be driven, possibly causing injury.
Some types of loaded staples can spark out of the muzzle during a nail driving operation. Exercise caution!
THE OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM (SINGLE SHOT PARTS) is for use where precision fastener placement is desired and must be operated in accordance with the following "Method of Operation".
You must first depress the push lever (upward position) where you want to drive a staple and then pull the trigger. After the each staple is driven, completely release the trigger and lift the tool off the
work surface. An OPTIONALSEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM may reduce the possibility of bodily injury to you or others in the work area. This is because it is less likely to drive an unwanted staple if you keep the trigger pulled and accidentally bump the push lever against yourself or others. An OPTIONALSEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM may also reduce the speed of operation compared to the standard contact trip mechanism.
NOTE:
Both STANDARD CONTACT TRIP MECHANISM and OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM are safe if used as described above and according to all warnings and instructions.
Always handle staples and package carefully. If staples are dropped, collating bond may be broken.
After stapling:
1) disconnect air hose from the Stapler;
2) remove all staples from the Stapler;
3) supply 5 - 10 drops of Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant into the air plug on the Stapler; and
4) open the petcock on the air compressor tank to drain any moisture.
ADJUSTING THE STAPLING DEPTH
WARNING
- When adjusting the push lever piece, be sure to remove your finger from the trigger and disconnect the air hose from the stapler.
To assure that each nail penetrates to the same depth, be sure that:
1) the air pressure to the Stapler remains constant (regulator is installed and working properly), and
2) the Stapler is always held firmly against the workpiece.
If staples are driven too deep or shallow into the workpiece, adjust the stapling in the following order.
① DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM STAPLER.
② To adjust the driven-in depth of a staple, loosen the screw that secures a push lever piece. If the staple is driven in deeply, adjust the push lever piece to "down", and if it's driven in shallowly, adjust the push lever piece to "up".
