Anytime
any
maintenance or repairs are done (including clearing jams), FIRST:
1. Disconnect the Nailer from the air hose.
2. Empty the Magazine (71) completely.
3. Attempt to fire the Nailer into a piece of scrap wood to ensure that it is disconnected and is
incapable of firing any brads.
4. Always leave the Magazine (71) open during maintenance. The Magazine is spring-
loaded and may cause parts or a nail to fly out of the Nailer.
Clearing Jams
1. Disconnect tool from air hose. Always fire the trigger repeatedly to make sure all of
the air is expended from the Nailer.
2. If a nail is jammed in the discharge area, simply remove it with pliers.
3. If a nail is jammed in the magazine, pull the Feeder Shoe (#52) all the way back to
the engaged position. Using a screwdriver, attempt to release the jammed nail by
probing either or all of the openings in the magazine (see Figure D ) to release the
nail. Pull out the jammed nail and the remainder of the nail strip that is still in the
magazine. Dispose of the remaining nail strip; it may be bent or damaged in some
other way. Reload the magazine with a new nail strip. Pull back on the Feeder
Shoe (#52) and with your other hand, pull the tab down on the Lock (#67), and
guide the Feeder Shoe (#52) back into position. If you are unable to clear the nail
jam using the method prescribed above, the tool should be taken to a qualified
service technician for proper servicing.
