Adjusting The Stapling Depth - Hitachi N 3804AB3 Instruction And Safety Manual

You must first depress the push lever (upward
position) where you want to drive a nail and then
pull the trigger. After the each nail is driven,
completely release the trigger and lift the tool off
the work surface. An FULL SEQUENTIAL
ACTUATION MECHANISM (SEQUENTIAL 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 nail if
you keep the trigger pulled and accidentally bump
the push lever against yourself or others.
An OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP MECHANISM
may also reduce the speed of operation compared
to the standard contact trip mechanism.
NOTE:
If all warnings and instructions are followed, safe
operation is possible with all three systems:
SINGLE ACTUATION MECHANISM, CONTACT
ACTUATION MECHANISM and FULL SEQUENTIAL
ACTUATION MECHANISM.
Always handle staples and package carefully. If
staples are dropped, collating bond may be broken,
which will cause mis-feeding and jamming.
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

When adjusting the Adjuster, be sure to
remove your finger from the trigger and
disconnect the air hose from the stapler.
To assure that each staple 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.
WARNING
1 DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM STAPLER.

2 If staples are driven too deep, turn the adjuster to
the shallow side.
If staples are driven too shallow, turn the adjuster
to the deep side.

3 Stop turning the adjuster when a suitable position
is reached for a stapling test.
4 Connect the air hose.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
Perform a stapling test.
5 DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM STAPLER.
6 Choose a suitable position for the adjuster.
NOTE:
The staple might not drive deep enough if using
high pressure with the adjuster set upwards
(shallow side) due to factors such as the material
hardness or staple type.
If that happens, reduce pressure and set the
adjuster to lowest position so the staple drives in
at a good position.
