Read the manual before assembly and operation. Become familiar with this tool, its safety instructions, and its operation before beginning any work. Serious personal injury may result if safety or operational infor- mation is not understood or followed.

Compressed Air System

The Models G6045 & G6046 are designed to be operated at 60-100 psi. The Model G6047 is designed to be operated at 70- 110 psi. Do not exceed the maximum

operating pressure for your model.

Before using your new nailer, install the

included 3???8" quick connect fitting. Install a female 3???8" fitting on the air hose. Regulate the air pressure on your air compressor to barely over the minimum psi for your model.

Many pneumatic tools benefit from an in- line filter/lubricator/regulator unit. This attachment is connected by hoses between the air compressor and the nailer. Using this unit protects your tool from dam- aging 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/reg- ulator 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 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!

G6045/G6046/G6047 18 Gauge Brad 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 disconnect- ed 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 cus- tomer service for help.

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

If either of these two conditions develop after you have used your nailer for a peri- od 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.

Besides damaging your workpiece, deflection can cause injury if your free hand is securing the workpiece in the location that the nail deflects.

4.Press the trigger. If the brad nail drove into the wood far enough, continue with your intended operations. If the brad nail either went too far or not far enough, then adjust the air pressure. More air pressure will make the brad nail go deeper and less air pressure will decrease the brad nail penetra- tion.

Oiling Nailer

Special oil has been included with your new Grizzly nailer to help maintain its use- ful life. Place one drop of oil in the nailer air inlet (as shown in Figure 4) before every use. Wipe off any excess oil near the nail- er exhaust to avoid dust build-up. When the oil that was included with the nailer has been completely used, replace with Grizzly Model G2820 pnuematic tool oil.

Another option to manual oiling would be to install a lubricator in your air compressor 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 lubricator.

As mentioned before, the best option is to install a filter/lubricator/regulator unit such as the Grizzly Model H2333 in your air line.

Cleaning Nailer

Never use use gasoline or other flam- mable 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!

Use a good solvent to clean the nose assembly of the nailer. Always be sure that the nailer is dry before using it again.

Do not allow dust, chips, sand, etc. into the air connectors or into the body of the nail- er; this may result in leaks and damage to the nailer and the air couplings.

Clearing Jammed Nails

The most frequent situation with any type of nailer is a nail 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 dis- charge area.

Always disconnect air from nailer whenever clearing a jammed nail!

To clear a jammed nail from the magazine:

1.Disconnect the nailer from the air supply!

2. Open the magazine cover and pull the magazine all the way back.

3.Locate and remove the jammed brad nail with a pair of needle nose pliers. Close the magazine cover so it latch- es.

To clear a jammed nail from the discharge area with the Model G6045/G6047:

1.Disconnect the nailer from the air supply!

2.Remove all of the brad nails from the magazine.

3.Flip up the quick release latch that is located on top of the nailer nose assembly as shown in Figure 5.

4.Remove the driver guide cover.

5.The jammed nail should now be visi- ble; remove it from the discharge area with needle nose pliers.

-8-

6.Replace the driver guide cover and snap the quick release latch back into operating position.

Figure 5. Removing guide cover.

To clear a jammed nail from the discharge area on the Model G6046:

1.Disconnect the nailer from the air supply! Remove all brad nails from the magazine.

2.Loosen the 2 cap screws that secure the driver guide cover to the driver guide on the nose assembly. Slide the driver guide cover toward the nose and pull it over the 2 cap screws. See Figure 6 to identify these parts.

3.The jammed nail should now be visi- ble; remove it with needle nose pliers.

4.Install the guide cover and check the safety yoke mechanism for proper operation (following the same instruc- tions as mentioned in the Safety sec- tion).

Figure 6. Removing guide cover.

Replacing Pistons/O-Rings

If you use your nailer day in and day out,

Grizzly offers repair pistons as cheap insurance against wasted down time and lost profits in the event that a piston or pis- ton shaft becomes worn out. To replace a piston:

Always disconnect air from nailer whenever servicing! During mainte- nance, a nailer connected to air may fire accidentally, causing serious personal injury!

1.Disconnect the nailer from the air supply!

2.Remove all nails from the magazine cartridge.

3.Remove the 4 cap screws on the back of the nailer, near the exhaust port.

4.Remove the rear cap as shown in

Figure 7.

5.The top of the piston should now be visible inside the cylinder, which is housed in the back of the nailer.

Figure 7. Removing rear cap.

6.Remove the guide cover from the nose assembly by loosening the 2 cap screws.

7.Watch the nose assembly and push the top of the piston with your finger. You will see the piston shaft slide along the guide.

8.Push the piston shaft back inside the nailer until you can grip the piston head and remove it from the cylinder.

9.Place a new O-ring on the new piston and apply a thin film of the proper lubricating oil on the O-ring.

10.Insert the new piston in the cylinder. Make sure that the grooves on the piston shaft line up with those on the guide. The new piston should easily slide into the cylinder. 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.

11.After the piston is inserted correctly, replace the guide cover and tighten the 2 cap screws. Replace the rear cap assembly and tighten the 4 cap screws.

12.For more assistance, or to install a complete O-ring set, refer to the appropriate breakdown diagram in the back of this manual.
