Removing Fastener Strips

Clearing a Jammed Fastener

OPERATION

WARNING

To avoid serious injury, disconnect the tool from the air supply before removing fastener strips or clearing a jammed fastener.

Keep fingers clear of fastener track of magazine. Pusher could pinch fingers, causing injury.

1.Lay the tool on its side and point the nose of the tool away from yourself and others.

2.Disconnect the air supply from the tool.

3.Place your hand on the end cap of the pusher assembly before pressing the pusher release button. Press the pusher release button and gently slide back the pusher assembly. Do not allow the pusher assembly to slide back fast.

4.Tip down the nose of the tool to remove fastener strip from the tool.

5.Reload according to "Installing Fastener Strips".

Most jams are caused by a fastener or part of a fastener wedging between the driver blade and the fastener guide. Fastener strips with an incorrect collation angle or the wrong fas- tener type may cause continuous jamming. To clear the jam:

1.Lay the tool on its side and point the nose of the tool away from yourself and others.

2.Disconnect the air supply from the tool and remove fastener strip. Leave the pusher assembly open.

3.Remove any debris.

4.Insert a screwdriver into the end of the fastener guide. The tip of the screw- driver should contact the tip of the driver blade.

5.Tap the screwdriver gently with a ham- mer. The screwdriver will push the driver blade back, freeing the jam.

6.Remove the fastener and other debris (use needle-nose pliers if necessary).

7.Follow the steps under "Required Daily Testing" before restarting the work.
