2. MARKETING OBJECTIVE The new Model NR 83A2 strip nailer is a minor-changed version of the current Model NR 83A. Owing to the modification of the ANSI standard, the current Model NR 83A has gone out of production since the 1st of May 2003.
5-2. Explanation of the Nailing Operation To meet the requirements of "ANSI SNT-101-2002", the Model NR 83A2 is equipped with a nailing operation switching device as shown in the figures below. Use SINGLE ACTUATION MECHANISM (SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM) or CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM in accordance with the work to be performed.
5-3. Nail Selection The Model NR 83A2 utilizes round-head nails collated with plastic resin into bands of 32 to 35 pieces. Applicable nail dimensions are shown below. CAUTION: Ensure that nails are as specified in Fig. 1. Other nails will cause clogging of nails and subsequent damage to the nailer.
For example, when driving a nail of 3.3 mm dia. by 83 mm length (0.131" x 3-1/4") into nine sheets of 12 mm plywood (108 mm thick ) with the Model NR 83A2, a pressure of about 7.9 bar (8 kgf/cm , 115 psi) allows the nailer to drive the nail flush with the wood surface.
A full sequential actuation mechanism kit (sequential trip mechanism kit) is provided as an optional accessory for the Model NR 83A2. By using this optional accessory, a nail is driven by pressing the push 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 push lever against a workpiece.
7. PRECAUTIONS IN SALES PROMOTION In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Model NR 83A2 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.
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 Instruction Manual provided with each unit.
The basic construction of the Model NR 83A2 is the same as that of the Model NR 83A and the interchangeable components are used as much as possible. However, most of the parts of the control valve section have been changed to provide the tool-less depth adjuster and the single actuation (single sequential actuation)/contact actuation mechanisms in order to correspond to the modification of the ANSI standard and the market demands.

8-3. Operation Principle The operation of the Model NR 83A2 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 22
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 23
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.
