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.
