Anytime any maintenance or repairs are done (including clearing jams), FIRST:
1. Disconnect the Nailer/Stapler from the air hose.
2. Empty Magazine A (61) completely.
3. Attempt to fire the Nailer/Stapler into a piece of scrap wood to ensure that it is
disconnected and is incapable of firing any staples.
4. Always leave Magazine A (61) open during maintenance. The Magazine is spring-
loaded and may cause parts or a fastener to fly out of the Nailer/Stapler.
