Compressed Air  
System  
The Model H6141 is designed to be oper-  
ated at 60-100 PSI using clean, dry, regu-  
lated, compressed air. DO NOT exceed  
the 120 PSI maximum operating pres-  
sure for your model.  
Before using your new nailer, regulate the  
air pressure on your air compressor to the  
minimum PSI for your model.  
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!  
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.  
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.

OPERATIONS  
4. Place the tip of the palm nailer over  
General Operations  
the end of the nail. When the ram pin  
touches the nail head, it will automati-  
cally begin to hammer the nail into the  
workpiece. Hold the nailer in place  
until the sliding depth guide is fully  
depressed.  
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.  
5. You can stop the nailer at any time by  
simply lifting it away from the nail and  
workpiece. This is useful if you do not  
wish for the nail to be countersunk into  
the workpiece.  
To operate your nailer:  
5. When the nail is fully hammered into  
the workpiece, the nailer will automati-  
cally stop.  
1. Connect the air supply to the quick  
connect fitting.  
2. Hold the nail firmly in place with one  
Note: The air palm nailer will automati-  
cally countersink all nails to a depth of  
around 2mm or 564".  
hand as if using a regular hammer.  
3. Make sure you are positioned out of  
the way of a potential path of a nail in  
case of deflection.  
Deflection is caused when grain irreg-  
ularities, knots or foreign objects inside  
the wood cause the nail to change its  
path, resulting in the nail puncturing  
the surface of the workpiece, as shown  
in Figure 3.  
Operation of this nailer has the poten-  
tial to propel debris into the air which  
can cause eye injury. Always wear  
ANSI-approved safety glasses or gog-  
gles when operating equipment.

6. Push the ram pin towards the inside of  
the nailer. This will push the cylinder  
free of the housing.  
Replacing Pistons/O-  
Rings  
7. Remove the piston from the cylinder  
If you use your nailer day in and day out,  
replacement pistons are cheap insurance  
against wasted down time and lost profits,  
in the event that a piston or piston shaft  
becomes worn out.  
by pulling it free by the ram pin.  
8. Place a new O-ring on the new piston  
and apply a thin film of the nailer lubri-  
cating oil on the O-ring.  
9. Insert the new piston in the cylinder.  
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 inside the  
cylinder.  
10. After the piston is inserted correctly,  
place the cylinder back in the housing.  
If seated correctly, the cylinder will  
snap into place.  
Always disconnect air from nailer  
whenever servicing! During mainte-  
nance, a nailer connected to air may  
fire accidentally, causing serious  
personal injury!  
11. Push the cylinder collar down into  
the housing as far as it will go. The  
horizontal air slots on the side of the  
cylinder should be visible.  
To replace a piston:  
12. Replace the rear cap assembly and  
tighten the four cap screws.  
1. DISCONNECT NAILER FROM THE  
AIR SUPPLY!  
13. Replace the flat washer, compression  
spring, depth guide and nose piece  
and tighten using a 19mm wrench.  
2. Unscrew the nose piece with a 19mm  
wrench.  
14. For more assistance, or to install a  
complete O-ring set, refer to the appro-  
priate breakdown diagram in the back  
of this manual for component loca-  
tions.  
3. Remove the nose piece, depth guide,  
compression spring and flat washer.  
4. Remove the four cap screws and  
washers on the back of the nailer.  
5. Remove the cap.

CLEANING & LUBRICATION  
Lubricating  
Cleaning  
Use a good solvent to clean the nose  
piece and depth guide of the nailer. Always  
be sure that the nailer is dry before using  
it again.  
Special oil has been included with your  
new Grizzly nailer to help maintain its  
useful life. Place two to six drops of oil  
in the nailer air inlet (as shown in Figure  
4) before every use, or after 2 hours of  
continuous use.  
Do not allow dust, chips, sand, etc. into  
the air connectors or into the body of the  
nailer; this may result in leaks and dam-  
age to the nailer and the air couplings.  
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 compres-  
sor line. If your air compressor line already  
has a lubricator, then regular manual lubri-  
cation of your nailer will not be necessary.  
Just make sure there is always oil in the  
lubricator.  
Never use gasoline or other flamma-  
ble 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!
