Compressed Air System

The Models G6045 & G6046 are designed to be operated at 60-100 psi. The Model G6047 is designed to be operated at 70- 110 psi. Do not exceed the maximum

operating pressure for your model.

Before using your new nailer, install the

included 3⁄8" quick connect fitting. 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 nailer. Using this unit protects your tool from dam- aging water build-up, allows you to adjust and maintain constant air pressure to your tool, and saves you the inconvenience of having to manually lubricate your tool every time you use it. Check the current Grizzly catalog for availability of this unit. If you plan on installing a filter/lubricator/reg- ulator 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 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!

Safety Yoke Mechanism

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 nailer for the first time, check the safety yoke mechanism to ensure proper function. To do this:

1.Make sure the nailer is disconnect- ed from the air supply!

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

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

4.Connect the nailer 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, nails, or other foreign objects. If the nailer does not fire, then the safety yoke mechanism is working correctly. If the nailer does fire when you do this, immediately disconnect the nailer from the air supply and call our cus- tomer service for help.

Similarly if the nailer fires when the trigger is pulled, without the safety yoke mecha- nism being depressed, then the nailer is not working properly.

If either of these two conditions develop after you have used your nailer for a peri- od 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 nailer at yourself or any bystanders. Serious injury may occur.

G6047, G6046 specifications

Grizzly Industrial is a renowned name in the woodworking and metalworking industry, and their G6046 and G6047 model series are no exceptions. These machines are designed to meet the needs of both hobbyists and professionals, providing precision, efficiency, and versatility in various applications.

The Grizzly G6046 is a heavy-duty vertical band saw that excels in cutting large and thick material with incredible accuracy. This model features a robust cast-iron frame, which provides exceptional stability during operation. The saw is equipped with a powerful 3 HP motor, allowing it to deliver impressive cutting capacities ranging from thick hardwoods to softwoods with ease. The G6046 also includes a large table surface, ensuring ample workspace for handling larger pieces.

One of the standout features of the G6046 is its precision guide system, which utilizes both upper and lower blade guides to ensure that the blade remains stable during operation. This minimizes wandering and maximizes cutting accuracy. Additionally, the integrated dust collection port facilitates a cleaner working environment by directing sawdust away from the blade and workpiece.

On the other hand, the Grizzly G6047 is a vertical bandsaw that offers extended capabilities for users. Similar to the G6046, it incorporates a powerful motor and solid construction, but it also includes a significantly larger cutting capacity, making it ideal for larger projects. The G6047 can manage more extensive pieces of wood and other materials, further enhancing its versatility in a professional setting.

Both models are designed with user-friendliness in mind. The blade tension adjustment system on both the G6046 and G6047 is easy to use, allowing for quick adjustments to suit different cutting needs. The adjustable guides also enable users to set up for various kerf widths, improving operational versatility.

In conclusion, the Grizzly G6046 and G6047 are exceptional machines that cater to a wide range of woodworking and metalworking applications. With their powerful motors, sturdy construction, and user-friendly features, these vertical band saws are excellent choices for craftsmen seeking quality and reliability in their tools. Whether for a workshop or a professional shop floor, the G6046 and G6047 stand out as strong contenders in the market, combining innovative technology with ease of use.
