Before Operating This Equipment

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazard-

ous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which

are intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The

progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by

themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident

prevention measures.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if

not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury.

It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if

not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if

not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.

This symbol is used to alert the user to useful infor-

mation about proper operation of the equipment.

1. HAND INJURIES: Do not place your

hands near the nail point of entry. A

nail can deflect and tear through the

surface of the workpiece, puncturing

your hand or fingers.

2. COMBUSTIBLE GASES: Never

connect the nailer to pressurized

oxygen or other combustible gases

as a power source. Only use fil-

tered, lubricated, and regulated

compressed air.

3. SAFE HANDLING: Never point the

nailer at others! Do not keep the

trigger pulled when loading fasten-

ers, carrying, or holding tool. Carry

the nailer only by the handle, never

by any other part. Do not carry the

nailer by the air hose. Disconnect

the nailer from the air hose when

going up and down ladders.

4. CLEANING: Never use gasoline or

other flammable liquids to clean the

nailer; vapors in the nailer will ignite

by a spark and cause it to explode.

Additional Safety Instructions for Nailers

5. 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 hazard.

6. OPERATING QUESTIONS: If you

are not sure about the intended

operation, stop using the nailer.

Seek formal training or research

books or magazines that special-

ize in pneumatic tools.

7. MAINTENANCE: Always discon-

nect air from the nailer when ser-

vicing or installing nails. During

maintenance, a nailer connected

to air may fire accidentally, caus-

ing serious personal injury.

8. COMPRESSED AIR RATING: Do

not connect the nailer to com-

pressed air that exceeds 120 PSI.

9. CHECK VALVE: Do not use a

check valve or any other fitting that

allows air to remain in the tool.

to lessen the possibility of operator or

bystander injury. Ignoring this warning

may result in serious personal injury.

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 seri-

ous personal injury, damage to

equipment or poor work results.

Compressed Air

System

The Model H6145 is designed to be oper-

ated at 70-120 PSI using clean, dry, regu-

lated, compressed air. DO NOT exceed

the maximum operating pressure for

your model.

Before using your new nailer, regulate the

air pressure on your air compressor to the

minimum PSI for your model.

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.

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!

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 Yoke

A safety yoke mechanism (bump fire) on

the nose of the nailer acts as a second-

ary 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. DISCONNECT NAILER 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

Grizzly Technical Support at (570)

546-9663 for help.

— 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 nailer at yourself or any

bystanders. Serious injury may occur.

Operating

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.

To operate your nailer:

1. Connect the air supply to the quick

connect 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.

4. Slide the nails all the way down to the

nose of the nailer.

5. Release the catch lever. The pusher

slides forward until it rests against the

nail stick.
