5-2. Nail Selection
The Model NR 83AA2 utilizes D-head (clipped head) nails collated with paper tape.
Applicable nail dimensions are shown below. Please note that screw-type nails cannot be used with the Model
NR 83AA2.
CAUTION: Ensure that nails are as specified in Fig. 1. The Model NR 83AA2 utilizes D-head (clipped
head) nails collated at an angle of 34 degrees which are the same as the nails utilized by a
competitor's model Paslode. However, some D-head nails made by other makers are
collated at a different angle of 26 degrees. Use of such nails will cause clogging of nails and
subsequent damage to the nailer. Also avoid use of misaligned nails or nails collated with a
weak paper tape. It is recommended to use genuine HITACHI nails to ensure satisfactory
driving quality.
