Testing the Safety Nose Mechanism
A safety mechanism (bump fire) on the nose of the nailer protects against acci- dental 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.
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. Make sure the magazine 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 depress the safety nose, immedi- ately disconnect the nailer from the air supply and call Grizzly Technical Support at (570)
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 trig- ger is pulled, without the safety nose mechanism being depressed, then the nailer has been damaged. For help, call Grizzly Technical Support at (570)
