Testing The Full Sequential Safety Trip Mechanism
Warning: Even though the nailer should be empty during this procedure, ALWAYS
point the Nailer at a piece of scrap wood when testing.
1. The Nailer should not fire if the nose is not depressed against the workpiece. This
tool has a full sequential safety trip mechanism, which is designed to reduce the
risk of inadvertent firing. The tool should only fire if the Safety (38) is resting on the
workpiece prior to pulling the Trigger (44).
2. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
3. Empty the magazine of nails or staples.
4. Check that the Trigger (44) and the Safety (38) on the nose of the tool, move
freely, without sticking.
5. Connect the air supply to the tool at the Air Plug (79) and set at the recommended
70-120 PSI, and not over the maximum 125 PSI.
6. Test the tool by depressing the Safety (38) on the nose of the tool against the
workpiece without pulling the Trigger (44). The tool must not cycle (fire). If it
cycles (fires), stop immediately and take the tool to a qualified service technician
for repair.
7. Hold the tool away, or off of the workpiece. The Safety (38) or nose of the tool
should return to its original position. Squeeze the Trigger (44). The tool must not
cycle (fire). If it cycles (fires), stop immediately and take the tool to a qualified
service technician.
8. Depress the Safety (38) against the workpiece and squeeze the Trigger (44). The
tool must cycle (fire) once only. Release the trigger and squeeze it again. The
tool must not cycle (fire). With the Trigger held, carefully lift the nailer and press
it against the workpiece again. The tool must not cycle (fire). If it fails to act in
the manner explained in bold, have it repaired by a qualified service technician.
