Hitachi N5008AB Manuel D’Utilisation

— 12 —

Example: 3 Staplers (N5008AB) operating at 100 psi driving 30 staples per minute
Amount of air required
=3 

× 30 × .046 (1.3) × 1.2

=5.0 CFM (ft

3

/min) (140 ltr/min)

After making the calculations as shown above, you should find a compressor
providing 5 CFM of air that is required.

It is important that the Stapler be properly lubricated.
Without proper lubrication, the Stapler will not work properly and parts will wear prematurely.

䡬 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.

䡬 Filter-regulator-lubricator units should always be used.

Keep the lubricator filled with Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant.

䡬 If a lubricator is not available, supply 2 – 3 drops of Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant into

the air plug on the Stapler twice a day.

䡬 Do not store the Stapler in a cold weather environment.

Keep the Stapler in a warm area until beginning the work.

䡬 If 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 40 psi (2.8 bar   2.8 kgf/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 free-fire the Stapler.
Slow speed operation tends to warm up the moving part.

● Always wear eye protector.

● Do not free-fire the Stapler at high pressure.

● Never use Stapler unless push lever is operating properly.
