Safety Yoke
A safety yoke mechanism on the nose of the nailer acts as a secondary safety device. When the trigger is pressed, the nailer will not fire until the safety yoke mechanism is depressed.
Before you use your nailer for the first time, check the safety yoke 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 yoke mechanism move up and down without sticking.
4.Connect the nailer to the air supply.
The safety yoke is a mechanical device that can fail. Never rely on the safety yoke mechanism as an excuse to point the nailer at yourself or any bystanders. Serious injury may occur.
5.Without pressing the trigger, depress the safety yoke 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 yoke 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 fires when the trigger is pulled without the safety yoke mechanism being depressed, then the nailer is not working properly.
—If either of these conditions develop after you have used your nailer for a period of time, check the lubrication of these mechanisms.
DO NOT attempt to modify or bypass the safety yoke mechanism to make the nailer fire without pushing the safety yoke down.
