To repair a jam:
1.Remove any fasteners remaining in the gun.
2.Partially unscrew the cap screws that hold the nosepiece cover in place. Slide the nose- piece cover down and pull it off. Figure 5. (G1861: Remove the safety tip before removing the nosepiece cover.)

6.Load fasteners and connect the nailer to the air supply.
7.Make sure the safety tip is functioning cor- rectly and that it slides freely. Test fire into a sample piece.
If jamming persists, make sure you are using fas- teners within the size range of this nailer. If jam- ming is due to worn or broken parts, repair or replace them before placing the nailer back into service.
Aligning Nosepiece
The nosepiece may become misaligned if the nailer has been dropped or otherwise mishan- dled. Misfiring and/or jamming will result if the nosepiece is misaligned – but correcting the problem is simple.
To align the nosepiece:
1.Remove the nosepiece cover.
2.Remove fasteners and visually inspect to see if the nail slot in the nosepiece is aligned with the nail slot in the magazine. If it is hard to tell, put a nail in and see if it slides through both slots easily.
3.If the nosepiece is misaligned, loosen the cap screws that secure it to the magazine and shift it until it lines up.
4.
5.Do not put any fasteners into the magazine. Connect the air hose.Check for any leaking air. You will hear it hissing or feel it rushing through the spaces.
6.If everything sounds normal, press the safe- ty nose down on a piece of wood and pull the trigger a couple of times. Air should be exhausted normally each time.
DO NOT attempt to repair or service this gun without ensuring that all nails or sta- ples have been removed and that the gun is disconnected from its air source. Use extreme care when testing after freeing jams or after
