Model W1775 Nailer/Stapler Kit
Safety Nose Mechanism
A safety mechanism on the nose of the nailer/stapler protects against accidental firing. When the trigger is pressed, the nailer/stapler will not fire until the safety nose mechanism is depressed.
Before you use your nailer/stapler for the first time, check the safety nose mechanism to ensure proper function.
To check the safety nose mechanism, do these steps:
1.DISCONNECT NAILER/STAPLER FROM THE AIR SUPPLY!
2.Make sure the magazine is empty and contains no nails/staples.
3.Make sure the trigger and the safety nose mechanism move up and down without sticking.
4.Connect the nailer/stapler 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/stapler does not fire, then the safety nose mechanism is working correctly.
—If the nailer/stapler does fire when you do this, immediately disconnect the nailer/stapler from the air supply and call Technical Support.
—If the nailer/stapler fires when the trigger is pulled, without the safety nose mechanism being depressed, then the nailer/stapler is not working properly.
—If you find that the safety nose mechanism is not working prop- erly, check the lubrication of its sliding components.
Do not attempt to modify or bypass the safety nose mechanism to make the nailer/stapler fire without pushing the nose down.
The safety mechanism is a mechanical device that can fail. Never rely on this mechanism as an excuse to point the nailer/stapler at yourself or any bystanders. Serious injury may occur.
Operating this nailer/stapler can propel objects into the air, causing immediate eye damage. To protect yourself, always wear ANSI approved safety glasses or goggles when operating this equipment.
