INTRODUCTION Commentary We are proud to offer the Grizzly Model G6048 15/16 Gauge Nailer. This model is part of a growing Grizzly family of fine power tools. When used according to the guidelines set forth in this manual, you can expect years of trouble-free, enjoyable operation and proof of Grizzly’s commitment to customer satisfaction. This Model G6048 features 360˚ adjustable exhaust, a quick release nose clamp, a convenient side-loading magazine, a safety trigger and a durable plastic carrying case.
Compressed Air System Safety Yoke Mechanism The Model G6048 is designed to be operated at 75-110 psi. Do not exceed the maximum operating pressure! 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 new nailer, regulate the air pressure on your air compressor to barely over the minimum psi for your nailer.

Operating Nailer If you have not read the safety instructions in this manual, do not operate the nailer. Periodically, place one drop of the included oil into the quick connect fitting where the nailer connects to the air supply. After oiling, wipe off any excess oil near the nailer exhaust to avoid dust build-up. 4. Besides damaging your workpiece, deflection can cause injury if your free hand is securing the workpiece in the location that the nail deflects. Press the trigger.
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 discharge area. To clear a jammed nail from the discharge area with the Model G6048: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Disconnect the nailer from the air supply! Remove all of the brad nails from the magazine.
Oiling Nailer Cleaning Nailer Special oil has been included with you new Grizzly Nailer. Periodically place one drop of oil in the nailer air inlet (as shown in Figure 6). After oiling, 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. Use a good solvent to clean the nailer nose assembly. Always be sure that the nailer is dry before using it again.
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 piston shaft becomes worn out. To replace a piston: Figure 7. Removing nailer exhaust cap. With a long flathead screwdriver or similarly shaped tool, push the piston shaft back inside the nailer until you can grip the piston head and remove it from the cylinder.
