Safety Nose

Mechanism

A safety mechanism on the nose of the nailer protects against accidental 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.

To do this:

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 mechani- cal device that could fail. Never rely on this mechanism as an excuse to point the 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) 546-9663 for help.

If the nailer fires when the trigger is pulled, without the safety nose mechanism being depressed, then the nailer is not working properly. If this occurs, call Grizzly Technical Support at (570) 546-9663 for help.

If you find that the safety nose mechanism is not working properly, check the lubrication of its sliding components.

Point the nailer away from you and others when connecting the air sup- ply. The nailer can cycle and dis- charge a nail when the air supply is connected. Ignoring this warning may result in serious personal injury.
