Brad Nailer Safety Nose Mechanism
A safety mechanism on the nose of the brad nailer protects against accidental fir- ing. When the trigger is pressed, the nailer will not fire until the safety nose mecha- nism is depressed.
Before you use your brad nailer for the first time, check the safety nose mechanism to ensure proper function.
To check the brad nailer 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.
The safety mechanism is a mechanical device that can fail. Never rely on this mechanism as an excuse to point the brad nailer at yourself or any bystand- ers. Serious injury may occur.
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 does fire when the trigger is pulled, without the safety nose mechanism being depressed, then the nailer is not working prop- erly.
—If you find that the safety nose mechanism is not moving up and down properly, check the lubrication of its sliding components.
DO NOT attempt to modify or bypass the safety nose mechanism to make the brad nailer fire without pushing the safety nose down.
