Stall Release (Fig. 12)
If the nailer is used in harder wood where all available energy in the motor is used to drive a fastener, the tool may stall. The driver blade will not complete the drive cycle and the jam/stall indicator will flash. Rotate the stall release lever (E) on the tool and the mechanism will release. NOTE: The tool will disable itself and not reset until the battery pack has been removed and reinserted. If the driver blade does not automatically return to the home position, proceed to Clearing a Jammed Nail. If the unit continues to stall please review the material and fastener length to be sure that it is not too rigorous an application.
