H8230/H8231 15° Roofing Nailer
-6-
A safety mechanism on the nose of the
nailer protects against accidental firing.
The nailer is designed to only fire when
the safety nose is depressed and the trig-
ger is pulled. The nailer should not fire
otherwise.
This nailer also features a trigger lock
switch as an additional way to prevent
accidental firing.
Before you use your nailer for the first time,
you MUST verify that the safety mecha-
nisms on the nailer are working properly;
otherwise, the risk of accidental injury will
be greatly increased.
The nailer must be connected to a prop-
erly regulated air source to perform these
safety checks.
Safety Check #1—Nose
Without pulling 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 does not fire, then the
safety nose mechanism is working cor-
rectly.
• If the nailer does fire when you do this,
immediately disconnect the nailer from
the air supply and call Grizzly Technical
Support at (570) 546-9663 for help.
Safety Check
Safety Check #2—Trigger
Make sure the nose is not depressed,
point the nailer in a safe direction away
from yourself or bystanders, then pull the
trigger.
• If the nailer does not fire, then the trig-
ger mechanism is working correctly.
• If the nailer does fire when you do this,
immediately disconnect the nailer from
the air supply and call Grizzly Technical
Support at (570) 546-9663 for help.
Safety Check #3—Trigger Lock
Rotate the trigger lock switch counter-
clockwise so the arrow points to the lock
icon on the nailer body. Make sure the
nose is not depressed, point the nailer
in a safe direction away from yourself or
bystanders, then try to pull the trigger.
• If the trigger is locked and the nailer
does not fire, then the trigger lock is
working correctly.
• If the nailer does fire when you do this,
immediately disconnect the nailer from
the air supply and call Grizzly Technical
Support at (570) 546-9663 for help.
The safety mechanisms are not fool-
proof. Never rely on these mecha-
nisms as an excuse to point the nailer
at yourself or any bystanders. Serious
injury may occur.
