Grizzly G1852 Test Fire Air Quality, To ensure that the best quality air enters your nailer

Test Fire Air Quality

Whenever changing fastener size or composition of material being fastened, the nailer should be tested to ensure that the air pressure is set cor- rectly and the nailer is working properly. To test fire the nailer:

1.Firmly press the safety nose down against the sample piece.

2.Pull trigger.

3.Inspect your results. If the nail is set too far into the workpiece, reduce the regulated air pressure. If the nail is not set or protrudes above the work surface, increase the air pressure. However, do not exceed the maxi- mum air pressure recommended for the nail- er or the hose (90 p.s.i. for the nailer).

4.Disconnect the air hose from the nailer when finished.

Do not hold the nailer so that exhausted air is blown into your face or someone else’s face. Exhausted air will cause any dust near the oper- ating nailer to become airborne; use a respirator if using the nailer in a dusty environment.

Under no circumstances should you exceed the recommended pressure limits for the pneumatic gun or the air hose. In addition to endangering the safety of the operator and others in the work area, over-pressurizing can cause damage to the gun and the hose. Evidence of operation at pressures exceed- ing maximum recommended levels could also void the gun’s warranty.

This air nailer or stapler must be regularly oiled and operated with treated or clean air. It is a pre- cision tool with close internal tolerances designed for repetitious use. Wet and/or dirty air lowers performance and prematurely destroys internal parts.

To ensure that the best quality air enters your nailer:

1.Use an in-line system to automatically oil, fil- ter, and dry compressed air. Grizzly offers an in-line regulator/filter/water-separator/lubri- cator (G2304). Please refer to our catalog for price and ordering information.

2.Keep your air filter clean. Replace periodi- cally.

3.Drain compressor’s air tank(s) frequently; more often in high humidity. This prevents corrosion in the tanks, as well as damage to your nailer or stapler.

4.Keep air hoses as clean as possible inter- nally. Inspect nipples and couplers for any dirt and moisture. Blow out prior to connect- ing the nailer.

DO NOT operate this gun without wearing ANSI-approved goggles or safety glasses. Quality hearing protection is also strongly recommended. Failure to wear proper safe- ty gear could result in serious personal injury and long-term damage to your sight and hearing.

Make your workshop child-safe. Ensure that idle machines have their safety keys removed, sharp blades are stored safely out of reach, and that your shop is securely locked when your shop is not in use.
