Hitachi NV50AP3 Cap Nailer Questions & Answers
Hitachi NV50AP3 1-1/4-Inch to 2-Inch Cap Nailer
Several of my customers are having the same problem here in New Mexico. If your air temperature is around 95 degrees or higher the plastic the caps are made of becomes too pliable to break off when the nail is fired through it. If you cool or freeze the cap roll, the caps will break off however this usually impractical. Get in the habit of moving the gun forward after firing a nail/cap to break the cap off. If you pull up or backwards you get a string of caps pulled out of the gun.
The new caps that are collated with plastic tape
Hi,
You`ll see a flat and a flat spring on the feeder. The are 2inch long maybe. Should be one or two small bolts holding them on. Take the both of. Bend back the flat spring the is bent on the end and bent back so there tension on the cap when it goes through. That will work once or twice.
Hi, I have been stumped! I rebuilt a Hitachi
This is the Cars and Trucks section of Fixya. You might get more answers listing in another area of Fixya which more closely matches your device.All things considered, maybe apply air pressure and stick the unit under water in a utility sink or big wash tub. Air leaks would bubble like a hole in a tire tube.
Hitachi nailer doesn't fire, it has no leaks. When trigger is pulled there is no back pressure from trigger
I've had that happen before and what I found was one of the Staples or nails had misfired and wedged before leaving the gun. read the manual on how to get to it for that particular model and also it might be a good idea to adjust your pressure accordingly to keep it from happening again. If the force isn't set proper then a nail could Jam , block the mouth and not allow any other nails to exit. It's very easy to do and not that hard to fix once you've done it at least once. Good luck.
My hitachi nt50ae2 will not work when I try to use 2 nails.
1) Oil it per the operating instructions.
2) Use only high-quality fasteners. I recommend Hitachi or Bostitch, although those from Harbor Freight Tools are largely trouble-free.
3) Make sure nails are properly inserted in the gun.
4) Check to confirm that your gun is receiving adequate air pressure. With that nailer, I'd suggest 95-105 psi.
