Primary differences from the Model N 5008AC are described below. (1) The weight of the Model N 5024A is 2.1 kg (4.7 lbs.) and it is lighter than our competitors, R, Y and P, thanks to the adoption of the plastic magazine. The staple shoulder sliding portion of the magazine is wear-resistant.
5-2. Staple Selection The Model N 5024A utilizes medium crown staples, gauge #16, 1" width crown collated by adhesive. Applicable staple dimensions are shown below. CAUTION: Ensure that staples are as specified in Fig. 1. Other gauge staples and other crown width staples will cause clogging of staples and subsequent damage to the stapler.
For example, when driving a staple of 50 mm length (2") into a workpiece of hemlock with the Model N 5024A, a pressure of about 7.7 bar (7.8 kgf/cm , 111 psi) allows the stapler to drive the staple flush with the wood surface.
7. PRECAUTIONS IN SALES PROMOTION In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Model N 5024A Stapler by all of our customers, it is very important that at the time of sale the salesperson carefully ensures that the buyer seriously recognizes the importance of the contents of the Handling Instructions, and fully understands the meaning of the precautions listed on the Warning Label attached to each tool.
7-3. Related Laws and Regulations As nailers and staplers are designed to instantaneously drive nails and staples, there is an ever-present danger of misfiring and subsequent possible serious injury. Accordingly, close attention in handling is absolutely necessary at all times. Carefully ensure that the customer is fully aware of the precautions listed in the Handling Instructions provided with each unit.
8. MECHANISM AND OPERATION PRINCIPLE 8-1. Mechanism As illustrated in Fig. 3, the Model N 5024A can be generally divided into four sections: output section, control valve section, driving section and magazine section. The driving section (nose and piston) and the magazine section have been newly designed though its basic construction is the same as that of the Model N 5008AC (valve section is common to the Model N 5008AC).
8-2. Operation Principle The operation of the Model N 5024A is illustrated and described in Fig. 4 through 7. The circled numbers in the descriptions correspond to the item numbers shown in the mechanism illustrated in Fig. 3. In Fig. 5 and Fig. 7, read the descriptions in alphabetical order.

Compressed air is applied Although air pressure is applied to both the to the upper side of the upper and lower sides of the cylinder, the Exhaust Valve < 2 >, forcing cylinder is forced downward due to the larger it downward and closing Cylinder ring effective area of the upper side.
Page 14
Air pressure is applied in the shaded areas in the illustration, and each component is held in the position illustrated. If the operator's grip is loosened, air will leak. As there is no o-ring installed here, a very small amount of air will leak from the slight clearance between the components.
Page 15
The air pressure on the upper surface of the Exhaust Valve < 2 > is released, and the exhaust valve is pushed upward by the air pressure within the cylinder. This opens the Exhaust Vent < 3 >, and the air pressure in the cylinder is discharged from the nailer.
