Testing Safety Nose
Mechanism
A safety mechanism (bump fire) on the nose of the stapler protects against acci- dental firing. This mechanism is activated when staples are loaded into the maga- zine. The stapler will not fire when the trigger is pulled until the safety nose is fully depressed.
Before you use your stapler 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 stapler at yourself or any bystanders, otherwise, serious injury may occur.
To verify that the safety nose is working correctly:
1.DISCONNECT STAPLER FROM THE AIR SUPPLY!
2. Insert a strip of staples 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 stapler 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, staples, or other for- eign objects.
—If the stapler does not fire, then the safety nose mechanism is working correctly.
—If the stapler does fire when you depress the safety nose, immedi- ately disconnect the stapler from the air supply and call Grizzly Technical Support at (570)
6.Without depressing the safety nose, point the stapler in a safe direction, and pull the trigger.
—If the stapler does not fire, then the safety nose mechanism is working correctly.
—If the stapler does fire when the trigger is pulled, without the safety nose mechanism being depressed, immediately disconnect the stapler from the air supply and call Grizzly Technical Support at (570) 546- 9663 for help.
Point the stapler away from you and others when connecting the air supply. The stapler can cycle and discharge a staple when the air supply is connect- ed. Ignoring this warning may result in serious personal injury.
