Loading
When replacing nails in your Model H6144, follow these guidelines:
Gauge: 15
Length: 11⁄4"
Capacity: 40

NOTICE: A number of manufacturers' nails may fit the Model H6144. However, for best performance, we recommend you use the following Grizzly nails:

To load your nailer:
1.DISCONNECT NAILER FROM THE AIR SUPPLY!
2.Insert a nail stick into the
Pusher |
Figure 3. Loading finish nails into nailer.
3.Slide the nail stick all the way down to the nose of the nailer.
4.Pull the magazine pusher all the way back, then let it come forward until it rests against the end of the nail stick.
Operating
If you have not read the safety instruc- tions in this manual, do not operate the nailer.
Before you operate your nailer, place one drop of the included oil into the quick con- nect fitting where the nailer connects to the air supply.
To operate your nailer:
1.Connect the air supply to the quick connect fitting.
2.To test for proper nail penetration, hold the nailer perpendicular to the surface of a piece of clean scrap wood that is thick enough for the length of nails you have loaded.
3.Depress the safety yoke mechanism on your workpiece.
4.Before pulling the trigger, make sure your free hand and other body parts 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 4.
