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. 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 the nailer! Safety Yoke Mechanism A safety yoke mechanism (bump fire) on the nose of the nailer acts as a secondary safety device. When the trigger is pressed, the nailer will not fire until the safety yoke mechanism is depressed. Before you use your nailer for the first time, check the safety yoke mechanism to ensure proper function. To do this: 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, staples, 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 mechanism 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 tool at yourself or any bystanders. Serious injury may occur. -5- H2910 3-IN-1 WOOD, METAL & CONCRETE NAILER OPERATION Loading The Nailer To load your nailer: 1. Disconnect the air supply from the nailer! 2. Push the magazine latch in the direction shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Releasing magazine latch. 3. Pull back the magazine cover until it stops. 4. Point the nailer down and insert a stick of brad nails into the magazine as shown in Figure 2. Make sure that the pointed ends of the nails rest in the slot at the bottom of the magazine. Figure 2. Loading the nailer. 5. Push the magazine cover forward until the magazine latch locks in place. Depth Adjustment 1. Rotate the depth adjustment wheel (shown in Figure 3) clockwise to increase the nail driving depth. 2. Rotate the finger wheel counter-clockwise to decrease the nail driving depth. Figure 3. Depth adjustment wheel. Operating The Nailer If you have not read the safety instructions in this manual, do not operate the nailer. Before you operate your nailer, place one drop of the included oil into the quick connect fitting where the nailer connects to the air supply. Fire the EMPTY nailer 3-4 times before beginning, so oil does not come out onto the project during regular operation. H2910 3-IN-1 WOOD, METAL & CONCRETE NAILER -6 To operate your nailer: 1. Connect the air supply to the quick connect fitting. 2. Test the loaded nailer for proper penetration. Hold the nailer perpendicular to the surface of a piece of clean scrap wood that is thick enough for the length of nails you have loaded. Depress the safety yoke mechanism on your workpiece. 3. Before pressing the trigger, make sure your free hand is positioned out of the way of a potential path of a nail in case of deflection. (Deflection is caused when the nail changes its path, resulting in the nail puncturing the surface of the workpiece as shown in Figure 4.) Figure 4. Example of nail deflection. Besides damaging your workpiece, deflection can cause injury if your free hand is securing the workpiece in the location that the staple/nail deflects. 4. Press the trigger. If the nail drove into the wood far enough, continue with your intended operations. If the nail either went too far or not far enough, then adjust the air pressure. More air pressure will make the nail go deeper and less air pressure will decrease the nail penetration. Clearing Jammed Nails The most frequent situation with any type of nailer is a jammed nail. A jam must be cleared before using the nailer again. The two places where a jam can occur is the magazine and the discharge area. Always disconnect air from the nailer whenever clearing a jam! To clear a jam from the magazine: 1. Disconnect the nailer from the air supply! 2. Open the magazine cover and pull the magazine all th...
