safety nose mechanism
Safety Nose
Mechanism
A safety mechanism on the nose of the nailer protects against accidental firing. When the trigger is pressed, the nailer will not fire until the safety nose mechanism is depressed.
Before you use your nailer for the first time, check the safety nose mechanism to ensure proper function.
To check the safety nose mechanism:
1.DISCONNECT NAILER FROM THE AIR SUPPLY!
2. Make sure the magazine is empty and contains no nails.
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 do this, immediately disconnect the nailer from the air supply and call Grizzly Technical Support at (570)
—If the nailer fires when the trigger is pulled, without the safety nose mechanism being depressed, then the nailer is not working properly.
—If you find that the safety nose mechanism is not working properly, check the lubrication of its sliding components.
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.
