Model H8233 3-Piece Framing/Brad Nailer & Stapler Kit -8 -
A safety mechanism on the nose of the
framing/brad 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!
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.
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
#2.
— 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.
Framing/Brad
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/brad 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/brad nailer fire without
pushing the safety nose down.
