Operating this nailer 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, this nailer discharges at 85-90 decibels. To protect your hearing, always wear ANSI approved ear protection when operating this nailer.

Basic Nailer 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:

1. READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE NAILER.

2. ALWAYS DISCONNECT AIR FROM THE NAILER whenever servicing,

carrying, or installing nails. During maintenance, a nailer connected to air may fire accidentally, causing serious personal injury.

3. DO NOT PLACE HANDS NEAR NAIL POINT OF ENTRY. Nail can

deflect and be driven through the surface of the workpiece, puncturing your hand or fingers.

4. NEVER CONNECT THE NAILER TO PRESSURIZED OXYGEN OR OTHER COMBUSTIBLE GASES as

a power source. Only use filtered, lubricated, and regulated compressed air.

5. ALWAYS KEEP ANY BYSTANDERS BEHIND NAILER OR AWAY FROM AREA DURING USE. Nails may be driven completely

though wood and could become dangerous projectiles.

6. DO NOT CARRY THE NAILER BY ANY OTHER PART THAN THE HANDLE, and do not carry the nailer

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 this nailer at yourself or another person! Always pay attention to the direction this nailer 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.

Compressed Air System Safety Yoke Mechanism

Exceeding the maximum permissible operating pressure may cause the nailer 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 this nailer!

The Model H5571 is designed to be operated at 85-115 psi. DO NOT exceed the

maximum operating pressure!

Before you use your new nailer, regulate the air pressure on your air compressor to barely over the minimum psi for your nailer. Increase air pressure only if needed.

Many pneumatic tools benefit from an inline filter/lubricator/regulator unit. 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 acts as a safety device. When the trigger is pressed, the nailer will not fire until the safety yoke mechanism is depressed.

To check the safety yoke:

1. Make sure the nailer is disconnected from the air supply!

2. Make sure the magazine is empty and

contains no nails.

3. Make sure the trigger and the safety yoke mechanism move up and down without sticking.

4. Connect the nailer 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, nails, or other foreign objects. If the nailer DOES NOT FIRE, then the safety yoke mechanism is working correctly. If the nailer DOES FIRE when you do this, immediately disconnect the nailer from the air supply and call our customer service for help.

Similarly if the nailer fires when the trigger is pulled, without the safety yoke mech- anism being depressed, then the nailer is not working properly.

If either of these two conditions develop after you have used your nailer for a period of time, check the lubrication of these mechanisms.

The safety yoke is a mechanical device that can fail. Never rely on the safety yoke mechanism as an excuse to point the nailer at yourself or any bystanders. Serious injury may occur.
