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.
