2. Press the button inside the spring handle finger hole. Figure 5. Guide the spring handle to the front of the gun. DO NOT LET THE SPRING HANDLE SNAP BACK TO ITS RESTING POSITION! 3. Press down on the nail stop and slide the nails out through the nail slot. Figure 6. Spring Handle Button Nail Stop Spring Handle Figure 5 shows a closeup of the spring handle button. Press to release pressure. VII. OPERATIONS C. CONNECTING TO AIR To connect the air hose to the air nozzle at the rear of the gun: 1. Pull back on the female hose connector sleeve. 2. Press the fitting onto the nail gun air nozzle and release the sleeve. The female fitting will lock onto the male gun fitting. 3. Listen for any air leaks. If no leaks are detected, you are ready to test fire the gun. Always disconnect the air supply when the gun is not in use because (1) a pressurized gun is dangerous and (2) constant pressure will reduce the life of the O-rings inside the gun. Prior to operating this nail gun, ensure that all safety procedures are read and understood. This tool is very simple to use and effectively speeds production. However, ease of use and routine production work may invite accidents. Please practice safe work habits at all times and always wear ANSI approved safety equipment.

TEST FIRING Whenever changing fastener size or composition of material being fastened, the gun should be tested to ensure that the air pressure is set correctly and the gun is working properly. To test fire the gun, wear safety glasses and follow the steps below: 1. Select a sample workpiece similar in composition to the type of material you will be fastening. 2. Firmly press the safety nose down against the sample piece. 3. Pull trigger. 4. Inspect your results. If the nail is set too far into the workpiece, reduce the regulated air pressure. If the nail is not set or protrudes above the work surface, increase the air pressure. However, do not exceed the maximum air pressure recommended for the gun or the hose (120 p.s.i. for the gun). 5. Disconnect the air hose from the gun when finished. 6. Unload fasteners. See Section VII.B. E. ROUTINE USE To operate the nail gun under routine conditions, always wear safety glasses and: 1. Line up the gun nose with the area on the workpiece you intend to fasten. 2. Hold the gun straight and perpendicular to the work surface. 3. Firmly press safety nose against the workpiece so that the gun nose rests on the workpiece. 4. Pull trigger. DO NOT DROP GUN. Repeated dropping will result in misalignment of the nose and jamming or breakage could occur. This is a precision tool, not a hammer. This gun can also be continuously fired by holding down on the trigger and firmly pressing the safety nose against the workpiece each time you wish to shoot a fastener. However, due to the inherent instability and danger involved with that practice, we strongly recommend against it. DO NOT FORGET TO DISCONNECT AIR SUPPLY AND UNLOAD FASTENERS WHEN FINISHED USING THE GUN. - 6 - Grizzly Imports, Inc. G3690 VII. OPERATIONS E. ROUTINE USE (CONT’D) Figure 7 shows using the gun for a horizontal application. Caution: If the gun nose is positioned too near the edge of the workpiece or is not held straight, there is a chance that the fastener will either split the workpiece or be deflected. Caution: Compressed air is exhausted out of the top, front of the gun and is directed down toward the gun nose. Figure 8 shows using the gun for a vertical application. Do not hold the gun so that exhausted air is blown into your face or someone else’s face. Exhausted air will cause any dust near the operating gun to become airborne; use a respirator if using the gun in a dusty environment. G3690 Grizzly Imports, Inc. - 7 VIII. INSPECTION WARNING: All inspections and/or any maintenance is to be performed with the air supply disconnected from the tool. Inspect and maintain the following items daily: 1. Check the air gun for any loose bolts or air leaks. Loose bolts should be retightened. Make sure that all lock washers are in place. Air leaks are an indication that internal seals are worn and should be replaced. 2. Make sure the safety nose and trigger are functioning properly. Repair as necessary. Do not use the gun with a broken or modified safety nose. 3. The air gun should be kept clean. Wipe off with a clean cloth daily. 4. If there is any mechanical problem with the tool, it must be taken out of service and repaired. If waiting for parts or repair, the tool must be tagged “do not use” and removed from the work area. 5. Inspect air hoses and fittings for wear and tear and replace if necessary. 6. Inspect the air compressor to ensure that it is operating properly. Follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. 7. Inspect the automatic lubricating system if applicable and fill as required. Inspect the...
