Compressed Air System, Safety Yoke Mechanism

Compressed Air System

The Model H2912/H2913 is designed to be operated at 60-100 psi. Do not exceed

the maximum operating pressure for your model.

Before you use your new nailer/stapler,

install the 3⁄8" quick connect fitting that comes with the nailer/stapler. Install a female 3⁄8" fitting on the air hose. Regulate the air pressure on your air compressor to barely over the minimum psi for your model.

Many pneumatic tools benefit from an in- line filter/lubricator/regulator unit. This attachment is connected by hoses between the air compressor and the sta- pler. Using this unit protects your tool from damaging water build-up, allows you to adjust and maintain constant air pressure to your tool, and saves you the inconve- nience of having to manually lubricate your tool every time you use it. Check the cur- rent Grizzly catalog for availability of this unit. If you plan on installing a filter/lubrica- tor/regulator unit in your compressed air system, always follow the connection instructions that come with the unit.

Exceeding the maximum permissible operating pressure may cause the nailer/stapler to explode, blowing metal fragments in all directions. To protect yourself from serious person- al injury, DO NOT allow your air com- pressor to exceed the recommended pressure when connected to the nail- er/stapler!

Safety Yoke Mechanism

A safety yoke mechanism (bump fire) on the nose of the nailer/stapler acts as a sec- ondary safety device. When the trigger is pressed, the nailer/stapler will not fire until the safety yoke mechanism is depressed.

Before you use your nailer/stapler for the first time, check the safety yoke mecha- nism to ensure proper function. To do this:

1.Make sure the nailer/stapler is dis- connected from the air supply!

2.Make sure the magazine is empty and contains no nails or staples.

3.Make sure the trigger and the safety yoke mechanism move up and down without sticking.

4.Connect the nailer/stapler 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, staples, or other foreign objects. If the nailer/stapler does not fire, then the safety yoke mechanism is working correctly. If the nailer/stapler does fire when you do this, immediately disconnect the nailer/stapler from the air supply and call our customer ser- vice for help.

Similarly if the nailer/stapler fires when the trigger is pulled, without the safety yoke mechanism being depressed, then the nailer/stapler is not working properly.

If either of these two conditions develop after you have used your nailer/stapler 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 tool at yourself or any bystanders. Serious injury may occur.

H2912/H2913 2-IN-1 NAILER/STAPLER

H2912, H2913 specifications

Grizzly H2913 and H2912 are two advanced models in the Grizzly lineup, designed for woodworking enthusiasts and professionals who demand precision and versatility in their tools. These models are particularly noted for their robust construction, ensuring durability and long-lasting performance for a wide range of applications.

The Grizzly H2913 is a powerful 12-inch planer that stands out for its impressive planing capacity and efficient motor. One of its main features is the combination of a helical cutter head, which enhances cutting performance by providing a smoother finish with minimal tear-out. This innovative design utilizes multiple carbide-tipped inserts that allow for easy replacement, saving time and ensuring consistent results with every use. The planer offers variable feed rates, enabling users to adjust the pace depending on the material being worked on, further enhancing its adaptability.

On the other hand, the Grizzly H2912 is a 15-inch thickness planer, ideal for larger workpieces and more demanding tasks. This model also features a helical cutter head, providing the same benefits as the H2913, including a higher-quality finish and reduced noise levels during operation. The H2912 is equipped with a robust cast iron table, which contributes to its stability and reduces vibration while planing. This reliable construction results in a flatter surface, crucial for achieving precise thickness.

Both models are designed with user convenience in mind. They come with easy-to-read digital displays that provide precise thickness adjustments, making it simple for users to set their desired dimensions. Additionally, the integrated dust collection ports help maintain a clean workspace by efficiently directing debris away from the machine.

Moreover, Grizzly H2913 and H2912 feature durable built-in handles for easy transport and adjustment, allowing users to move them effortlessly between different work areas. The overall design reflects a commitment to quality and user friendliness, ensuring these planers can meet the demands of both novice woodworkers and seasoned professionals alike.

In summary, the Grizzly H2913 and H2912 represent a blend of cutting-edge technology and traditional craftsmanship, making them essential additions to any workshop focused on premium woodworking. Whether you prioritize planing quality, operational efficiency, or user-friendly features, these models deliver outstanding performance tailored to various woodworking projects.
