Safety Check

A safety mechanism on the nose of the nailer protects against accidental firing. The nailer is designed to only fire when the safety nose is depressed and the trig- ger is pulled. The nailer should not fire otherwise.

This nailer also features a trigger lock switch as an additional way to prevent accidental firing.

Before you use your nailer for the first time, you MUST verify that the safety mecha- nisms on the nailer are working properly; otherwise, the risk of accidental injury will be greatly increased.

The nailer must be connected to a prop- erly regulated air source to perform these safety checks.

Safety Check #1—Nose

Without pulling the trigger, depress the safety nose mechanism against a scrap piece of wood that is clean and free of any knots, nails, or other foreign objects.

If the nailer does not fire, then the safety nose mechanism is working cor- rectly.

If the nailer does fire when you do this, immediately disconnect the nailer from the air supply and call Grizzly Technical Support at (570) 546-9663 for help.

Safety Check #2—Trigger

Make sure the nose is not depressed, point the nailer in a safe direction away from yourself or bystanders, then pull the trigger.

If the nailer does not fire, then the trig- ger mechanism is working correctly.

If the nailer does fire when you do this, immediately disconnect the nailer from the air supply and call Grizzly Technical Support at (570) 546-9663 for help.

Safety Check #3—Trigger Lock

Rotate the trigger lock switch counter- clockwise so the arrow points to the lock icon on the nailer body. Make sure the nose is not depressed, point the nailer in a safe direction away from yourself or bystanders, then try to pull the trigger.

If the trigger is locked and the nailer does not fire, then the trigger lock is working correctly.

If the nailer does fire when you do this, immediately disconnect the nailer from the air supply and call Grizzly Technical Support at (570) 546-9663 for help.

The safety mechanisms are not fool- proof. Never rely on these mecha- nisms as an excuse to point the nailer at yourself or any bystanders. Serious injury may occur.
