G6045/G6046/G6047 18 Gauge Brad Nailer -7 -
Cleaning Nailer
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.
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.
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!

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.
