Model NV 45AB2 is equipped with a tool-less nailing depth adjuster, top loading magazine, non-slip rubber, etc. Applicable nails are the same as those of the Model NV 45AB. The Model NV 45AB2 weighs only 2.5 kg (same as the Model NV 45AB).
Page 5
The basic construction is the same as that of the Model NV 45AB except the 2-valve cylinder drive system that is well reputed for quick driving is adopted. (2) Adjuster While the Model NV 45AB requires a wrench to adjust the nailing depth, the Model NV 45AB2 requires no tool for adjustment. Too shallow...
5-2. Nail Selection The Model NV 45AB2 utilizes roofing nails which are common round-head nails collated by wire into coils from 120 nails. Applicable nail dimensions are shown below. However, it is recommended to use genuine HITACHI nails to ensure satisfactory driving quality.
Sequential trip mechanism kit (Single shot) (Code No. 878226) A sequential trip mechanism kit is provided as an optional accessory for the Model NV 45AB2. By using this optional accessory, a nail is driven by pressing the pushing lever first against a workpiece and then pulling the trigger (single-shot operation), and no nail is driven when pulling the trigger first and then pressing the pushing lever against a workpiece.
7. PRECAUTIONS IN SALES PROMOTION In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Model NV 45AB2 Nailer 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 Instruction Manual, and fully understands the meaning of the precautions listed on the Warning Label attached to each tool.
8. MECHANISM AND OPERATION PRINCIPLE 8-1. Mechanism As illustrated in Fig. 3, the Model NV 45AB2 can be generally divided into four sections: output section, control valve section, driving section and magazine section. Although the output section and the valve section are basically common to those of the Model NV 45AB, most of the parts of the driving section and the magazine section have been newly designed.

8-2. Operation Principle The operation of the Model NV 45AB2 is illustrated and described in Figures 4 through 7. The [Bold] numbers in the descriptions correspond to the item numbers shown in the mechanism illustration in Fig. 3. In Figures 5 and 7, read the descriptions in alphabetical order.

(2) When the trigger and pushing lever are operated Compressed air is applied Although air pressure is applied to both the to the upper side of the upper and lower surfaces of the cylinder, the Exhaust Valve [4], forcing it cylinder is forced downward due to the larger downward and closing Cylinder ring...
Page 15
(3) If the trigger and pushing lever are kept pressed 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 16
(4) When the trigger and/or pushing lever are released The air pressure on the upper surface of the Exhaust Valve [4] is released, and the exhaust valve is pushed upward by the air pressure within the cylinder. This opens the Exhaust Vent [5], and the air pressure in the cylinder and the left-side surface of the feed piston are discharged from the nailer.
