-
Always wear head protection. Always wear head protection to protect your head from fl ying objects.
-
Do not attach the hose or Nailer to your body. Attach the hose to the structure to reduce the risk of loss of balance if the hose shifts.
-
Drive Nails into proper work surface only. Do not drive nail into other nails. This is able to cause the fastener to be defl ected and hit someone, or cause the Nailer to react and result in a risk of injury to persons.
Nailer use and care
-
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against the body is unstable and is able to lead to loss of control.
-
Do not force the Nailer. Use the correct Nailer for the application. The correct Nailer will do the job better and safer at the rate for which the Nailer is designed.
-
Do not use the Nailer if the switch does not turn the Nailer on or off . Any Nailer that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Never use Nailer which is defective or operating abnormally. If the Nailer appears to be operating unusually, making strange noises, or otherwise appears defective, stop using it immediately and arrange for repairs by a metabo HPT authorized service center.
WARNING -
Disconnect the Nailer from the air source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the Nailer. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the Nailer unintentionally.
-
Store the Nailer when it is idle out of reach of children and other untrained persons. A Nailer is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
-
Maintain the Nailer with care. Keep the Nailer Clean and lubricated for better and safer performance.
-
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may aff ect the Nailer’s operation. If damaged, have the Nailer serviced before using. Because of high air pressure in the Nailer, cracks in the surface are dangerous. To avoid this, do not drop the Nailer or strike the Nailer against hard surfaces; and do not scratch or engrave signs on the Nailer. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained Nailers. There is a risk of bursting if the Nailer is damaged.
-
Do not use the Nailer that is not in proper working order. Tags and physical segregation shall be used for control.
-
Use only accessories that are identifi ed by metabo HPT for the specifi c Nailer. Use of an accessory not intended for use with the specifi c Nailer , increases the risk of injury to persons.
-
Use only those fasteners listed in the Accessories section of this manual. Fasteners not identifi ed for use with this Nailer by metabo HPT are able to result in a risk of injury to persons or Nailer damage when used in this Nailer.
Service
- Tool service must be performed only by qualifi ed repair personnel.
- When servicing a Nailer, use only identical replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.
- Use only the lubricants supplied with the Nailer or specifi ed by metabo HPT.
Air source
- Never connect to an air source that is capable of exceeding 200 psi (13.7 bar 14 kgf/cm2) if a regulator fails.
Over pressurizing the Nailer is able to result in bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of the Nailer or serious injury to persons.
DO NOT EXCEED 120 psi (8.3 bar 8.5 kgf/cm2).
Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at the rated pressure or within
the rated pressure range as marked on the Nailer.
Always verify prior to using the Nailer that the air source has been adjusted
to the rated air pressure or within the rated air-pressure range.
- Never use reactive gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or any bottled gas as an air source for the Nailer. Such gases are capable of explosion and serious injury to persons.
Others
-
Before starting work, check the nailing operation switching device.
This metabo HPT nailer includes a nailing operation switching device.
Before starting work, check the setting of the operation switching device.
If the switching device is not set properly, the Nailer will not operate correctly. -
Always select the switching device that is appropriate to the application and the training of the operator.
-
When switching between SINGLE SEQUENTIAL and CONTACT, disconnect the air hose and remove all nails.
-
When the hook is attached, operate only with SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM and not with CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM.
-
Be careful of double fi re and being hit by the Nailer due to spring back (“recoil”). After driving a nail, the Nailer may recoil causing it to move away from the work surface.
To reduce risk of injury always manage recoil by: -
always maintaining control of the Nailer.
-
allowing recoil to move the Nailer away from work surface.
-
not resisting recoil such that the Nailer will be forced back into the work surface. In “CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM”, if push lever is
allowed to re-contact work surface before the trigger is released, an unintended discharge of a nail will occur. In order to avoid this undesirable double fi re,
* Intermittent operation (Trigger fi re) Set the switching device to SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM. Pull the trigger rapidly and fi rmly.
* Continuous operation (Push lever fi re) Set the switching device to CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM.
Do not press the Nailer against the wood with excessive force.
Separate the Nailer from the wood as it recoils after nailing.
4. keeping face and body parts away from the Nailer.
-
Never Use NON relieving coupler on Nailer. If a non relieving coupler is used on the Nailer, the Nailer can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a fastener even after disconnecting. The Nailer and air hose must have a hose coupling such that all pressure is removed from the Nailer when the coupling joint is disconnected.
-
Check Push Lever before use. Make sure the Push Lever operates properly, and is not inoperable, disconnected, or altered. (The Push Lever may be called “Safety”.) Never use the Nailer unless the Push Lever is operating properly, otherwise the Nailer could drive a fastener unexpectedly. Do not tamper with or remove the Push Lever, or otherwise cause the Push Lever to become inoperable.
-
Keep all screws and covers tightly in place. Keep all screws and covers tightly mounted.

-
do not depress the Trigger;
-
do not depress the Push Lever; and
-
keep the Nailer pointed downward.
-
Keep hands and body away from fi ring head during use. Never place your hands or feet closer than 8 inches (200 mm) from the fi ring head. A serious injury can result if the fasteners are defl ected by the workpiece, or are driven away from the point of entry.
-
When working close to an edge of a workpiece or at steep angles, or driving fasteners into thin workpiece use care to minimize chipping, splitting or splintering, or free fl ight, ricochet or piercing of fasteners, which may cause injury.
-
Never drive fasteners from both sides of a wall at the same time. The fasteners can be driven into and through the wall and hit a person on the opposite side.
-
Use extra caution when driving the Nailer into existing walls or other blind areas to prevent contact with hidden objects or persons on other side (eg., wires, pipes).
-
Check for live wires. Avoid the risk of severe electrical shock by checking for live electrical wires that may be hidden by walls, fl oors or ceilings. Turn off the breaker switch to ensure there are no live wires.
-

(If not, the tool may not operate properly.)
Pull the trigger with the Nailer off the workpiece.
Depress the push lever against the workpiece to drive a nail.
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.
WARNING
- Keep your fi nger 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. This metabo HPT nailer may bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and unwanted subsequent fastener may be driven, possibly causing injury.
- Some types of loaded nails can spark out of the muzzle during a nail driving operation. Exercise caution!
The SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM is for use where precision fastener
placement is desired.
The SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM may reduce the possibility of bodily
injury to you or others in the work area compared to the CONTACT ACTUATION
MECHANISM. 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.
The SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM may also reduce the speed of
operation compared to the CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM. The SINGLE SEQUENTIAL
ACTUATION MECHANISM is recommended to inexperienced users.
NOTE
- If all warnings and instructions are followed, safe operation is possible with two systems: SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM and CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM.
- Always handle nails and package carefully. If nails are dropped, collating plastic may be broken.
- After nailing:
- disconnect air hose from the Nailer;
- remove all nails from the Nailer;
- supply 5–10 drops of metabo HPT pneumatic tool lubricant into the air plug on the Nailer; and
- open the petcock on the air compressor tank to drain any moisture.
ADJUSTING THE NAILING DEPTH
[NR83A5・NR83A5 (Y)]
WARNING
Disconnect the air hose from the nailer before turning the adjuster.
To assure that each nail penetrates to the same depth, be sure that:
-
the air pressure to the Nailer remains constant (regulator is installed and working properly), and
-
the Nailer is always held firmly against the workpiece.
If nails are driven too deep or shallow into the workpiece, adjust the nailing in the following order. -
DISCONNECT AIR HOSE FROM NAILER
-
If nails are driven too deep, turn the adjuster to the shallow side.
Adjustments are in half-turn increments
If nails are driven too shallow, turn the adjuster to the deep side.
-
