I have a problem with my a Hitachi NR 83A2 (S). By mistake I loaded a strip of 1/2 round nails and two jammed. In order to get the nails free the magazine was partially disassembled. Now, is there any manual which will show how to re-assemble? We can't get the ribbon spring back in place and connected.
The reason that you are having trouble re-assembling the ribbon spring is that you need three hands to complete the job. As you recall the nail pusher just slips into the front of the rails. The pusher has the spring and a pin to retain the spool in place. Install the spring with the bolt hole towards leaver and slip into the front of rails. Take a small paper clip and bend a small hook to catch the ribbon spring. Hook the springs bolt hole with the paper clip and hold the spring in the approximate position for bolt as you push the assembly into rails and use latch to hold. While holding spring with paperclip, insert bolt thru rails and spring into nosepiece. Just break off the paperclip at this point and you are almost done. Some nailers have a metal support clip that you would need to have in place on bolt before installing bolt thru spring. For a breakdown of the gun go to www.toolpartsdirect.com. The other bolt for rails has a support/guide for the safety foot. Good luck and email if you have questions.
I reassembled the magazine on a Hitachi NR83A last night. It was very easy but it needs to be done in a specific manner. Getting the ribbon spring installed is probably the most important piece. Refer to the diagram at http://www.ereplacementparts.com/hitachi-nr83a-31434-full-head-nailer-parts-c-7927_13310_16045.html for part orientation.
Assuming the screw holding the spring in place has been removed and the ribbon spring needs reinstalled, here's how I did it:
1. Completely remove the magazine from the gun by loosening all of the bolts holding it in place.
2. Install the stop lever at the bottom of the magazine and ensure the stopper spring is properly positioned. You should see a tiny hole next to the bolt hole in the magazine where the center of the stopper spring will engage once installed. Position it and tighten the bolt holding the lever in place. It needs to be tight but loose enough to allow the lever to move.
3. Position the ribbon spring in to the nail feeder mechanism and slide the assembly in to the top of the magazine.
4. Hold the end of the ribbon spring with the hole in place using duckbill pliers with one hand and slide the nail feeder down the magazine barrel with the other hand until it engages the stop lever. Use a helper's hand if available to hold the pliers.
5. While holding the end of the ribbon spring in place, slowly position the magazine over the nose of the gun so the bolt holes align on the nose and the top of the magazine. The spring will be between the magazine and bolt holes on the nose.
6. Slowly retract the end of the ribbon spring with the hole until it is in alignment with the bolt holes on the magazine and nose of the gun.
7. Install the bolt & washers through the magazine, ribbon spring, and in to the nose of the gun. Release the pliers. Tighten down. Once installed, the ribbon spring is in place.
8. The rest is easy. Reinstall the magazine in accordance with the diagram referenced above. FYI...use metric tools.
Thank you so much. After much unsuccessful googling. I finally googled:"where does the ribbon spring attach hitachi" I had nails stuck sideways in magazine and couldn't get them out, so I started taking it apart and after springs sprung I was just stumped by how the end of the spring attached. When I first read through your steps I didn't understand, but going slowly through your steps I got it.
