When replacing nails for your Model G6048, follow these guidelines: Gauge: 15/16 Length: 3.4"-21.2" Capacity: 100 Nails Single/Bump Fire Mode The Model G6048 is equipped with a single/ bump fire trigger. To select single or bump fire operation: 1. Disconnect the air supply from the nailer! 2. Locate the hex nut that secures the safety yoke mechanism to the trigger housing. See Figure 3. 3. To select Single Fire mode, tighten the hex nut completely. 4. To select Bump Fire mode, unthread the hex nut at least two full turns. Adjustment Hex Nut Figure 3. Single/bump fire adjustment. -6 G6048 15/16 Gauge 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. 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.) 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 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. Figure 4. Example of nail deflection. G6048 15/16 Gauge Nailer -7 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. 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 latches. To clear a jammed nail from the discharge area with the Model G6048: 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 visible; remove it from the discharge area with needle nose pliers. 6. Replace the driver guide cover and snap the quick release latch back into operating position.

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. 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. Figure 6. Lubricating nailer via air inlet. NOTICE Too much oil in the nailer will ruin the O-rings! Cleaning Nailer Use a good solvent to clean the nailer nose assembly. 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 nailer; this may result in leaks and damage to the nailer and the air fittings. Never use gasoline or other flammable 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! Always disconnect air from nailer whenever servicing! During maintenance, a nailer connected to air may fire accidentally, cau...
