Clearing Jammed Nails
The most frequent situation with any type of nailer is a nail jam. A jammed nail must be cleared before using the nailer again. The two places where a nail can get jammed are the magazine and the dis- charge area.
Always disconnect air from nailer whenever clearing a jammed nail!
To clear a jammed nail from the magazine:
1.Disconnect the nailer from the air supply!
2.Open the magazine cover and pull the magazine all the way back.
3.Locate and remove the jammed brad nail with a pair of needle nose pliers. Close the magazine cover so it latch- es.
To clear a jammed nail from the discharge area on the Model H2911:

2.Remove the plastic cover from the nose of the nailer.
3.Loosen the 2 cap screws that secure the driver guide cover to the driver guide on the nose assembly. Remove the driver guide cover. See Figure 5 to identify these parts.
4.The jammed nail should now be visi- ble; remove it with needle nose pliers.
5.Install the guide cover and check the safety yoke mechanism for proper operation (following the same instruc- tions as mentioned in the Safety sec- tion).
