Testing Safety Nose
Mechanism
A safety mechanism (bump fire) on the
nose of the stapler protects against acci-
dental firing. This mechanism is activated
when staples are loaded into the maga-
zine. The stapler will not fire when the
trigger is pulled until the safety nose is
fully depressed.
Before you use your stapler for the first
time, check the safety nose mechanism
to ensure proper function.
5.
Without pressing the trigger, depress
the safety nose mechanism against a
scrap piece of wood that is clean and
free of any knots, staples, or other for-
eign objects.
— If the stapler does not fire, then the
safety nose mechanism is working
correctly.
— If the stapler does fire when you
depress the safety nose, immedi-
ately disconnect the stapler from the
air supply and call Grizzly Technical
Support at (570) 546-9663 for help.
6.
Without depressing the safety nose,
point the stapler in a safe direction, and
pull the trigger.
— If the stapler does not fire, then the
safety nose mechanism is working
correctly.
— If the stapler does fire when the
trigger is pulled, without the safety
nose mechanism being depressed,
immediately disconnect the stapler
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
stapler at yourself or any bystanders,
otherwise, serious injury may occur.
To verify that the safety nose is working
correctly:
1.
DISCONNECT STAPLER FROM THE
AIR SUPPLY!
2
. Insert a strip of staples in the magazine
(see
Page 8
for instructions).
3.
Make sure the trigger and the safety
nose mechanism move up and down
without sticking.
4.
Connect the stapler to the air supply.
Point the stapler away from you and
others when connecting the air supply.
The stapler can cycle and discharge a
staple when the air supply is connect-
ed. Ignoring this warning may result in
serious personal injury.
