Model W1775 Nailer/Stapler Kit
-7-
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.
Safety Nose Mechanism — 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.
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.
Do not attempt to modify or bypass
the safety nose mechanism to make
the nailer/stapler fire without pushing
the nose down.
