Testing Safety Nose

Mechanism

A safety mechanism (bump fire) on the nose of the nailer protects against acci- dental firing. This mechanism is activated when nails are loaded into the magazine. The nailer will not fire when the trigger is pulled until the safety nose is fully depressed.

Before you use your nailer for the first time, check the safety nose mechanism to ensure proper function.

The safety mechanism is a mechanical device that can fail. Never rely on this mechanism as an excuse to point the nailer at yourself or any bystanders. Serious injury may occur.

To verify that the safety nose is working correctly:

1.DISCONNECT NAILER FROM THE AIR SUPPLY!

2. Insert a coil of nails in the magazine (see Page 8 for instructions).

3.Make sure the trigger and the safety nose mechanism move up and down without sticking.

4.Connect the nailer to the air supply.

5.Without pressing 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 correctly.

If the nailer does fire when you depress the safety nose, immedi- ately disconnect the nailer from the air supply and call Grizzly Technical Support at (570) 546-9663 for help.

6.Without depressing the safety nose, point the nailer in a safe direction, and pull the trigger.

If the nailer does not fire, then the safety nose mechanism is working correctly.

If the nailer does fire when the trigger is pulled, without the safety nose mechanism being depressed, immediately disconnect the nailer from the air supply and call Grizzly Technical Support at (570) 546- 9663 for help.

Point the nailer away from you and others when connecting the air supply. The nailer can cycle and discharge a nail when the air supply is connected. Ignoring this warning may result in serious personal injury.
