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 Tool. Inspect the regulator 

before operation to be sure it operates properly.

Lubricator ..... The lubricator supplies an oil mist to the Tool. 

Inspect the lubricator before operation to be sure 

the supply of lubricant is adequate. Use Hitachi 

pneumatic tool lubricant.

3. Air Hose

  Air hoses should have a minimum of 150 psi (10.4 bar  10.6 kgf/

cm

2

) working pressure rating or 150 percent of the maximum 

pressure that could be produced in the air system. The supply 

hose should contain a fitting that will provide “quick disconnect‑

ing” from the male plug on the Tool.

4. Hose Coupling

  Install a male plug on the Tool which is free flowing and which 

will release air pressure from the Tool when disconnected from 

the supply source. This Tool uses a 3/8” NPT. male plug. The in‑

side diameter should be .275” (7mm) or larger. The fitting must 

be capable of discharging Tool air pressure when disconnected 

from the air supply.

5. Air Consumption

  The Tool requires 4.2 cfm of free air to operate at the rate of 60 

fasteners per minute @ 80 psi. Take the actual rate at which the 

Tool will be run to determine the amount of air required. For in‑

stance, if your fastener usage averages 30 fasteners per minute, 

you need 50% of the Tools cfm. 

6. Operating Pressure

  70 to 90 psi.  Select the operating pressure within this range 

for best fastener performance. DO NOT EXCEED THIS RECOM‑

MENDED OPERATING PRESSURE.
