Additional Safety Instructions for Nailers/
Staplers
1. HAND INJURIES: Do not place
your hands near the nail/staple point
of entry. A nail/staple can deflect
and tear through the surface of the
workpiece, puncturing your hand or
fingers.
2. COMBUSTIBLE GASES: Never con-
nect the nailer/stapler to pressurized
oxygen or other combustible gases
as an air source. Only use filtered,
lubricated, and regulated compressed
air.
3. SAFE HANDLING: Never point the
nailer/stapler at others! Do not keep
the trigger pulled when loading fas-
teners, carrying, or holding tool. Carry
the tool only by the handle, never by
any other part. Do not carry the tool
by the air hose. Disconnect the nailer/
stapler from the air hose when going
up and down ladders.
6. HOSE USAGE: Make sure your air
hose is designed for the tool in use, is
in good condition, and is long enough
to reach your work without stretching.
However, an overly long air hose in
the work area may be a tripping haz-
ard.
7. OPERATING QUESTIONS: If you
are not sure about the intended oper-
ation, stop using the nailer/stapler.
Seek formal training.
8. CLEANING: Never use gasoline or
other flammable liquids to clean the
nailer; vapors in the nailer/stapler
will ignite by a spark and cause it to
explode.
9. MAINTENANCE: Always disconnect
air from the nailer/stapler when ser-
vicing or installing nails. During main-
tenance, a nailer/stapler connected
to air may fire accidentally, causing
serious personal injury.
4. MODIFICATIONS: DO NOT modify
this tool or bypass the safety nose
mechanism.
5. COMPRESSED AIR RATING: Do
not connect the nailer/stapler to com-
pressed air that exceeds 120 PSI.
4. CHECK VALVE: Do not use a check
valve or any other fitting that allows
air to remain in the tool after it is dis-
connected from the air source.

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.
Read the manual before operation.
Become familiar with this nailer, its
safety instructions, and its operation
before beginning any work. Serious
personal injury may result if safety or
operational information is not under-
stood or followed.
Nailer/stapler accidents routinely hap-
pen while moving the gun to another
location, such as up ladders, to anoth-
er room, or even another job site.
Always disconnect the gun immedi-
ately after use and never transport the
gun while connected to the air—even
if the air compressor is disconnected
from its power source!
No list of safety guidelines can be
complete. Every shop environment is
different. Always consider safety first,
as it applies to your individual working
conditions. Use this and other tools
with caution and respect. Failure to
do so could result in serious personal
injury, damage to equipment or poor
work results.
Operating this nailer can propel
objects into the air, causing imme-
diate eye damage. To protect your-
self, always wear American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) approved
safety glasses or goggles when oper-
ating this equipment. In addition, this
nailer discharges at up to 85-90 deci-
bels. To protect your hearing, always
wear ANSI approved ear protection
when operating this nailer.

Compressed Air
System
The Model H5527 is designed to be oper-
ated at 60-100 PSI using clean, dry, regu-
lated, compressed air. DO NOT exceed
the 120 PSI maximum operating pres-
sure for your model.
Before using your new nailer, regulate the
air pressure on your air compressor to the
minimum PSI for your model.
Exceeding the maximum permissible
operating pressure may cause the
nailer to explode, blowing metal frag-
ments 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!
An in-line filter/lubricator/regulator unit,
depicted in Figure 2, can be installed and
should be located as close to the nailer as
possible.
This filter/lubricator/regulator unit will
protect your tool from damaging water
build-up, allow you to adjust and maintain
constant air pressure to your tool, and
save you the inconvenience of having to
manually lubricate your tool every time
you use it.
Check the current Grizzly catalog for avail-
ability of this unit. If you plan on install-
ing a filter/lubricator/regulator unit in your
compressed air system, always follow the
connection instructions that come with
the unit.

safety nose mechanism
5. Without pressing 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.
Safety Nose
Mechanism
A safety mechanism on the nose of the
nailer protects against accidental firing.
When the trigger is pressed, the nailer will
not fire until the safety nose mechanism is
depressed.
— If the nailer does not fire, then the
safety nose 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.
Before you use your nailer for the first
time, check the safety nose mechanism to
ensure proper function.
To check the safety nose mechanism:
— If the nailer fires when the trigger
is pulled, without the safety nose
mechanism being depressed, then
the nailer is not working properly.
1. DISCONNECT NAILER FROM THE
AIR SUPPLY!
2. Make sure the magazine is empty and
contains no nails.
— If you find that the safety nose
mechanism is not working properly,
check the lubrication of its sliding
components.
3. Make sure the trigger and the safety
nose mechanism move up and down
without sticking.
4. Connect the nailer to the air supply.
The safety mechanism is a mechanical
device that can fail. Never rely on this
mechanism as an excuse to point the
nailer at yourself or any bystanders.
Serious injury may occur.

stops.
4. Point the nailer down and insert a stick
of brad nails into the magazine, as
shown in Figure 4. Make sure that the
pointed ends of the nails rest in the slot
at the bottom of the magazine.
When replacing nails in your Model
H5527, follow these guidelines:

H5527 18 Gauge Brad Nailer
Operating
Deflection is caused when grain
irregularities, knots or foreign
objects inside the wood cause the
nail to change its path, resulting in
the nail puncturing the surface of the
workpiece, as shown in Figure 5.
If you have not read the safety instruc-
tions in this manual, do not operate the
nailer.
Before you operate your nailer, place five
to six drops of the included oil into the
quick connect fitting where the nailer con-
nects to the air supply.
Besides damaging your workpiece,
deflection can cause injury if your free
hand is securing the workpiece in the
location that the nail deflects.
To operate your nailer:
1. Connect the air supply to the quick con-
nect fitting.
2. To test for proper nail 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.
Figure 5. Example of nail deflection.
5. Pull the trigger.
3. Depress the safety nose mechanism
against your workpiece.
— If the nail drove into the wood far
enough, continue with your intended
operations.
4. Before pulling the trigger, make sure
your free hand and other body parts
are positioned out of the way of a
potential path of a nail in case of deflec-
tion.
— If the nail either went too far or not
far enough, then adjust the air pres-
sure. More air pressure will make
the nail go deeper and less air pres-
sure will decrease the nail penetra-
tion.

To clear a jammed nail from the dis-
charge area:
Clearing Jammed
Nails
1. DISCONNECT NAILER FROM THE
AIR SUPPLY!
2. Remove the two cap screws that
secure the driver guide cover to the
driver guide on the nose assembly, as
shown in Figure 6.
Cap Screws
Guide Cover
Always disconnect air from nailer
whenever clearing a jammed nail! A
nailer connected to air may fire acci-
dentally, causing serious personal
injury!
Figure 6. Nose opened to clear a jam.
A jammed nail must be cleared before
using the nailer again. The two places
where a nail can get jammed are the
magazine and the discharge area.
3. The jammed nail should now be visible;
remove it with needle nose pliers.
4. Re-install the guide cover and the
two cap screws, and check the safety
nose mechanism for proper operation
(refer to Safety Nose Mechanism on
Page 8).
To clear a jammed nail from the maga-
zine:
1. DISCONNECT NAILER FROM THE
AIR SUPPLY!
2. Open the magazine cover and pull the
magazine all the way back.

Rings
jammed nail.
7. Watch the discharge area and push the
top of the piston with your finger. You
will see the piston shaft slide down the
discharge area.
If you use your nailer day in and day out,
repair pistons are cheap insurance against
wasted down time and lost profits, in the
event that a piston or piston shaft becomes
worn out.
8. With a long flathead screwdriver or sim-
ilarly shaped tool, push the piston shaft
back inside the nailer until you can grip
the piston head and remove it from the
cylinder. (Be careful not to scratch the
discharge area when pushing the pis-
ton shaft with the screwdriver.)
9. Place a new O-ring on the new piston
and apply a thin film of the nailer lubri-
cating oil on the O-ring.
10. Insert the new piston in the cylinder.
Make sure that the grooves on the pis-
ton shaft line up with those on the guide
at the bottom of the cylinder. The new
piston should easily slide into the cyl-
inder. DO NOT force the piston into
the cylinder! If the piston is not easily
inserted, double-check the alignment of
the piston shaft with the grooves on the
guide.
Always disconnect air from nailer
whenever servicing! During mainte-
nance, a nailer connected to air may
fire accidentally, causing serious
personal injury!
To replace a piston:
1. DISCONNECT NAILER FROM THE
AIR SUPPLY!
11. After the piston is inserted correctly,
close the magazine. Replace the rear
cap assembly and tighten the 4 cap
screws.
2. Remove all nails from the magazine
cartridge.
3. Remove the four cap screws on the
back of the nailer, near the exhaust
port.
12. For more assistance, or to install a
complete O-ring set, refer to the appro-
priate breakdown diagram in the back
of this manual for component loca-
tions.
4. Remove the cap.
5. The top of the piston should now be
visible inside the cylinder, which is
housed in the head of the nailer.

CLEANING & LUBRICATION
Cleaning
Lubricating
Use a good solvent to clean the nose
assembly of the nailer. Always be sure that
the nailer is dry before using it again.
Special oil has been included with your
new Grizzly nailer to help maintain its
useful life. Place two to six drops of oil
in the nailer air inlet (as shown in Figure
11) before every use, or after 2 hours of
continuous use.
Do not allow dust, chips, sand, etc. into
the air connectors or into the body of the
nailer; this may result in leaks and damage
to the nailer and the air couplings.
Wipe off any excess oil near the nailer
exhaust to avoid dust build-up. When the
oil that was included with the nailer has
been completely used, replace with Grizzly
Model G2820 Pneumatic Tool Oil.
Another option to manual oiling would be
to install a lubricator in your air compres-
sor line. If your air compressor line already
has a lubricator, then regular lubrication
of your nailer will not be necessary. Just
make sure there is always oil in the lubri-
cator.
Never use gasoline or other flamma-
ble liquids to clean this tool. Vapors
in the tool may ignite, causing the
tool to explode. Ignoring this warning
may lead to serious personal injury or
even death!
