-
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!

. Make sure the magazine is empty and
contains no nails.
3.

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

.
— If the nailer
does fire
when you
do this, immediately disconnect the
nailer from the air supply and call

Framing/Finish
Nailer Safety Nose
Mechanism
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)
546-9663 for help.
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.
