OPERATION
DRIVING NAILS AT AN ANGLE
See Figure 10, page 16.
When driving nails at an angle, make sure that the tool is
pointed away from yourself and others.
When driving nails at an angle, make sure that the tool is
positioned correctly. Driving at an angle that is too steep
may:
• cause the nail to miss the workpiece
• cause the nail to ricochet
• cause the workpiece to splinter, causing the nail to come
back toward the operator.
WARNING:
Never drive a nail at an angle by tilting the tool
forward. This could lead to the fastener missing
the work surface or bouncing off the work surface,
leading to serious injury.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
removing nails or clearing a jammed fastener.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal
injury.
REMOVING NAILS FROM THE TOOL
See Figure 11, page 16.
 Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
 To remove a strip of nails from the tool, press the release
button on the pusher. When released, the pusher will slide
forward.
NOTE: Always keep fingers clear of nail track of magazine
to prevent injury from unintended release of the pusher.
 Press down on the nail stop tab near the end of the
magazine and slide the nails over the tab.
 Remove the nail strip from the tool.
CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER
See Figures 12 - 14, page 17.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
clearing a jammed fastener. Failure to do so could
result in serious personal injury.
If a nail or fastener becomes jammed in the tool, disconnect
the air hose and keep the tool pointed away from you while
clearing the jam.
 Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
 Remove fasteners from the tool.
 Press the jam-clearing mechanism release button on the
side of the tool.
 Slide the jam-clearing mechanism away from the nose of
the tool.
 Remove the bent nail, using needle-nose pliers if necessary.
 After the nail or fastener has been removed, push the jam-
clearing mechanism toward the nose of the tool until it snaps
back into place over the release button.
NOTE: The jam-clearing mechanism should always be
closed when operating this tool.
If the jam is severe or if the nail is difficult to remove:
 Insert a #2 Phillips screwdriver into the driving mechanism.
 Tap the screwdriver gently with a hammer. The inserted
screwdriver should push the driver blade back, freeing
the nail jam.
 After the nail or fastener has been removed, close the jam-
clearing mechanism and secure it in place.
NOTE: The jam-clearing mechanism should always be
closed when operating this tool.
