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 Magazine Slide (47) all the way back to the
engaged position. Using a screwdriver, attempt to release the jammed nail by probing
either or both of the two openings in the magazine
(see photo below) 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.
4. Reload the magazine with a new nail strip. Pull back
on the Magazine Slide (47) and with your other
hand pull the tab down on the Slide Release (58),
and guide the Magazine Slide (47) back into posi-
tion.
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.
Anytime
any
maintenance or repairs are done (including clearing jams), FIRST:
1. Disconnect the Nailer from the air hose.
2. Empty the Magazine (56) 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 (56) open during maintenance. The Magazine is spring-
loaded and may cause parts or a nail to fly out of the Nailer.
Probe in these areas with a
screwdriver to release jammed nails.
