Framing/Finish
Nailer Safety Nose
Mechanism
A safety mechanism on the nose of the framing/finish 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 nailers for the first time, perform these safety checks to ensure the safety nose mechanisms are operating properly.
Safety Check #1
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. Proceed to Safety Check #2.
—If the nailer does fire when you do this, immediately disconnect the nailer from the air supply and call Grizzly Technical Support at (570)
Note: If you find that the safety nose mechanism is not moving up and down properly, check the lubrication of its sliding components.
Safety Check #2
1.Lift the nailer from the scrap piece of wood so that the safety nose is not depressed, point the nailer down and away from yourself and others, then pull the trigger.
—If the nailer does not fire when the trigger is pulled without the safety nose mechanism being depressed, then the nailer is working properly.
—If the nailer does fire when you do this, immediately disconnect the nailer from the air supply and call Grizzly Technical Support at (570)
The safety mechanism is a mechanical device that can fail. Never rely on this mechanism as an excuse to point the framing/finish nailer at yourself or any bystanders. Serious injury may occur.
DO NOT attempt to modify or bypass the safety nose mechanism to make the framing/finish nailer fire without pushing the safety nose down.
