To operate your nailer/stapler:

1.Connect the air supply to the quick connect fitting.

2.Test the loaded nailer/stapler for prop- er penetration. Hold the nailer/stapler perpendicular to the surface of a piece of clean scrap wood that is thick enough for the length of staples/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 sta- ple/nail in case of deflection. (Deflection is caused when the sta- ple/nail changes its path, resulting in the staple/nail puncturing the surface of the workpiece as shown in Figure

4.)

Figure 4. Example of staple deflection.

Besides damaging your workpiece, deflection can cause injury if your free hand is securing the workpiece in the location that the staple/nail deflects.

4.Press the trigger. If the staple/nail drove into the wood far enough, con- tinue with your intended operations. If the staple/nail either went too far or not far enough, then adjust the air pressure. More air pressure will make the staple/nail go deeper and less air pressure will decrease the staple/nail penetration.

Clearing Jammed

Staples/Nails

The most frequent situation with any type of nailer/stapler is a jammed nail or staple. A jam must be cleared before using the nailer/stapler again. The two places where a jam can occur is the magazine and the discharge area.

Always disconnect air from the nail- er/stapler whenever clearing a jam!

To clear a jam from the magazine:

1.Disconnect the nailer/stapler from the air supply!

2.Open the magazine cover and pull the magazine all the way back.

3.Locate and remove the jammed sta- ple/nail with a pair of needle nose pli- ers. Close the magazine cover so it latches.

To clear a jam from the discharge area:

1.Disconnect the nailer/stapler from the air supply!

2.Remove all of the staples/nails from the magazine.

3.The jammed staple/nail should now be visible; remove it from the dis- charge area with needle nose pliers.

4.Replace the staples/nails. Push the magazine closed and snap the quick release latch back into operating posi- tion.

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.
