Hitachi Pneumatic Recommendations
Use an oiler, filter, and air regulator* so that equipment can be operated under an optimum condition to ensure extended service life. It is advisable to use an air system that: Automatically supplies the proper amount of clean lubricant; Filters the moisture and dust mixed with the compressed air; and
Regulates the pressure to a fixed level with a reducing valve (*Do not use more than 10 feet of hose between the compressor and regulator.)
Use the proper air hose with the correct inside diameter (see individual tool instruction manual) and working pressure.
Hitachi Pneumatic Quality
Hitachi pneumatic tools are designed and manufactured specifically for durability, quality, and performance. By incorporating a simple overall design, tough components, and lightweight construction, Hitachi pneumatic tools require less maintenance, have fewer breakdowns and cause less fatigue.
Hitachi pneumatics are engineered to drive a fastener using only three major moving parts during the firing cycle. By using only the exhaust valve, cylinder, and driver blade, the tools will have less wear. This simple design is combined with specifically formulated component materials.
Common replacement parts such as driver blades are

Salt air, High humidity, Industrial fumes and Driver blade impact can break down the zinc coating and the fasteners may rust.
Extension Cord Chart
The use of improper extension cords will cause a serious voltage drop, power loss, motor damage, and possible fire. As the cord length is longer and the wire gauge is thinner, the voltage drop is greater. Therefore, a heavier gauge wire and a shorter cord is recommended. Please refer to this chart to choose the correct extension cord with a suitable wire size for the cord length and tool's rated amperage on the nameplate.

The hose should have a working pressure of 150% of the maximum pressure supplied from the compressor. Hitachi recommends an air hose with an inside diameter of 3/8" and a minimum working pressure of 250 psi.
3. Drain the compressor tanks daily. Even when using filters or dryers, this is an important step to avoid accelerated corrosion.
4. Use the proper tool lubricant. Hitachi pneumatic tool lubricant is recommended.
5. Check the air pressure. The air pressure must be constantly maintained at the level specified by your owner's manual. Pay close attention to the output pressure, capacity, and piping on the air supply system so that air pressure doesn’t effect overall performance, service life, and safety.
6. These recommendations also apply to industrial air systems. Regular maintenance and duties are frequently not performed on permanently installed air supply systems resulting in poor tool performance and work quality.
metallurgically designed to be strong and hard yet shatterproof or resilient enough to absorb all excess force. Industry dealers and service centers report that they seldom encounter broken driver blades or piston bumpers that are in need of replacement even after years in the field and after firing millions of fasteners in all environmental conditions.
Hitachi has also designed our pneumatic tools to be more efficient by taking some of the wear and tear away from compressors and the users themselves. Extremely simple air flow inside the tool involving the "drop-sleeve" cylinder, exhaust cycle firing and stored air recovery allow our tools to fire quicker and require less air. Hitachi pneumatics are extremely fast

When wet, the tannin acid in cedar and redwood can react with the plating to create dark stains.
Preservatives and fire retardants in wood may contain salts corrosive to the fasteners.

Best : Stainless steel
and capable of driving up to 3 nails or 5 staples per second. Lower air consumption will require less run or recovery by the compressor or allow additional tools to be used simultaneously. Hitachi pneumatic tool users can work quicker and more efficiently if they are not waiting on air.
The quality engineering that is found in Hitachi pneumatic tools does not stop with the major components. The precision continues with details like depth of drive adjustment mechanisms, virtually jam-proof feeding mechanisms, sophisticated nose pieces, toenail safety levers, and easy-load magazines. There are plenty more too, and all of them are designed to make the job easier.
Only Hot dip galvanized and Stainless Steel fasteners should be used in treated wood, cedar, redwood and exposed exterior applications.
