Clearing Jams
WARNING! Anytime any
maintenance or repairs are
done (including clearing
jams), wear ANSI-approved
impact safety goggles and appro-
priate hearing protection. THEN:
1.
Disconnect the Framing Nailer
from its air supply.
2.
Empty the Magazine (71) complete-
ly.
3.
Try to fire the Nailer into a piece of
scrap wood or flooring to ensure
that there is no trapped air in the
system.
4.
Always leave Magazine open dur-
ing maintenance. The Magazine
is spring-loaded and may cause
parts or a nail to fly out of Nailer.
5. Always fire the Trigger repeatedly to
make sure all of the air is expended
from the Nailer.
6. If a nail is jammed in the discharge
area, simply remove it with pliers.
7. If a nail is jammed in the magazine,
pull the
Feeder Shoe (69) all the way
back to the disengaged position.
Using a screwdriver (not included),
attempt to release the jammed nail by
probing any of the three openings in
the Magazine to release the nail. Pull
out the jammed nail and the remain-
der of the nail strip that is still in the
magazine.
8. Dispose of the remaining nail strip;
it may be bent or damaged in some
other way. Reload the magazine with
a new nail strip.
9. Pull back on the Feeder Shoe and
with your other hand, pull the tab
down on the Lock (75) and guide the
Feeder Shoe back into position.
10.
Be careful. When pulling back
the Tab, it will spring forward with
force. Keep your fingers clear when
releasing.
11.
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.
