10. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD
for the tool. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. Conductor
size should be in accordance with the
chart below. The amperage rating
should be listed on the motor or tool
nameplate. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating.
Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin.
Always repair or replace extension
cords if they become damaged.
Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords
11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not
wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties,
rings, bracelets, or other jewelry
which may get caught in moving
parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
12. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.
Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
13. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a
vise to hold work when practical. It is
safer than using your hand and frees
both hands to operate tool.

H2912/H2913 2-IN-1 NAILER/STAPLER-3-
Operating the nailer/stapler can propel objects into the air, causing
immediate eye damage. To protect
yourself, always wear American
National Standards Institute (ANSI)
approved safety glasses or goggles
when operating this equipment. In
addition, the nailer/stapler discharges at 85-90 decibels. To protect
your hearing, always wear ANSI
approved ear protection when operating this tool.
Nailer/Stapler Safety
In addition to the rules stated in the previous section, and those in the warning
boxes throughout this manual, please
observe the following safety tips for your
new nailer/stapler:
1. READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL
BEFORE OPERATING THE NAILER/STAPLER.
2. ALWAYS DISCONNECT AIR FROM
THE NAILER/STAPLER whenever
servicing or installing nails or staples.
During maintenance, a nailer/stapler
connected to air may fire accidentally,
causing serious personal injury.
3. DO NOT PLACE HANDS NEAR
STAPLE OR NAIL POINT OF
ENTRY. Nails or staples can deflect
and tear through the surface of the
workpiece, puncturing your hand or
fingers.
4. NEVER CONNECT THE
NAILER/STAPLER TO PRESSURIZED OXYGEN OR OTHER COMBUSTIBLE GASES as a power
source. Only use filtered, lubricated,
and regulated compressed air.
5. NEVER USE GASOLINE OR
OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS TO
CLEAN THE NAILER/STAPLER.
Vapors in the tool will ignite by a
spark and cause the tool to explode.
6. DO NOT CARRY THE NAILER/STAPLER BY ANY OTHER PART THAN
THE HANDLE, and do not carry the
nailer/stapler by the air hose.
7. DO NOT KEEP THE TRIGGER
PULLED ON THE SAFETY YOKE
MECHANISM WHEN CARRYING
OR HOLDING THE TOOL.
8. DO NOT USE A CHECK VALVE OR
ANY OTHER FITTING that allows air
to remain in the tool.
Never point the nailer/stapler at yourself or another person! Always pay
attention to the direction the
nailer/stapler is pointed. Use this tool
with respect and caution to lessen the
possibility of operator or bystander
injury. Ignoring this warning may
result in serious personal injury.

Read the manual before assembly
and operation. Become familiar with
this tool, its safety instructions, and
its operation before beginning any
work. Serious personal injury may
result if safety or operational information is not understood or followed.

Compressed Air System Safety Yoke Mechanism
The safety yoke is a mechanical
device that can fail. Never rely on the
safety yoke mechanism as an excuse
to point the tool at yourself or any
bystanders. Serious injury may occur.
Exceeding the maximum permissible
operating pressure may cause the
nailer/stapler to explode, blowing
metal fragments in all directions. To
protect yourself from serious personal injury, DO NOT allow your air compressor to exceed the recommended
pressure when connected to the nailer/stapler!
The Model H2912/H2913 is designed to be
operated at 60-100 psi. Do not exceed
the maximum operating pressure for
your model.
Before you use your new nailer/stapler,
install the 3⁄8" quick connect fitting that
comes with the nailer/stapler. Install a
female 3⁄8" fitting on the air hose. Regulate
the air pressure on your air compressor to
barely over the minimum psi for your
model.
Many pneumatic tools benefit from an inline filter/lubricator/regulator unit. This
attachment is connected by hoses
between the air compressor and the stapler. Using this unit protects your tool from
damaging water build-up, allows you to
adjust and maintain constant air pressure
to your tool, and saves you the inconvenience of having to manually lubricate your
tool every time you use it. Check the current Grizzly catalog for availability of this
unit. If you plan on installing a filter/lubricator/regulator unit in your compressed air
system, always follow the connection
instructions that come with the unit.
A safety yoke mechanism (bump fire) on
the nose of the nailer/stapler acts as a secondary safety device. When the trigger is
pressed, the nailer/stapler will not fire until
the safety yoke mechanism is depressed.
Before you use your nailer/stapler for the
first time, check the safety yoke mechanism to ensure proper function. To do this:
1. Make sure the nailer/stapler is disconnected from the air supply!
2. Make sure the magazine is empty and
contains no nails or staples.
3. Make sure the trigger and the safety
yoke mechanism move up and down
without sticking.
4. Connect the nailer/stapler to the air
supply.
5. Without pressing the trigger,
depress the safety yoke mechanism
against a scrap piece of wood that is
clean and free of any knots, staples,
or other foreign objects. If the
nailer/stapler does not fire, then the
safety yoke 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 our customer service for help.
Similarly if the nailer/stapler fires when the
trigger is pulled, without the safety yoke
mechanism being depressed, then the
nailer/stapler is not working properly.
If either of these two conditions develop
after you have used your nailer/stapler for
a period of time, check the lubrication of
these mechanisms.
