Ejector Blade Insert Discs
1. If the ejector blade insert discs are worn and need to be
replaced, the ejector blade assembly must first be
removed from the tool.
2. Remove the two socket head cap screws that connect the
ejector blade to the drive bar. Withdraw the ejector blade
and take the assembly to a clean working surface.
3. The ejector blade insert discs are fastened to the blade
with two socket head cap screws. The screws are secured
with a retaining compound and they must be heated
before they can be removed. This is best done if heat is
applied with a small propane torch.

4. Remove the two screws and the two insert discs and
replace with new discs.
5. Coat the thread of the screws with retaining compound
and securely tighten them. Allow 24 hours for the com-
pound to cure.
6. Insert the ejector blade into the tool, align it with the drive
blade, insert and securely tighten the two socket head cap
screws to fasten the ejector blade to the drive blade.

Clearing Fastener and Plate Jams
1. Remove the feed tube (follow directions as described on
page 5 of this manual) to access the junction where most
fastener jams occur. You should be able to clear the fas-
tener(s) from the nosepiece.
2. In some cases it may be necessary to remove the jaws in
the end of the nosepiece to fully access the jam. The jaws
can be removed by removing the O-ring that holds them in
the nosepiece.
3. For clearing plate jams, first make sure the tool is completely
retracted in its full upright position. This may require that
you tug upwards on the tool. Most likely, a plate will shuttle
into the proper place.
4. If the plate remains jammed, remove the stack of plates
from the holder. First, attempt to cycle the ejector blade
by quickly compressing the tool downward. The jammed
plate should dislodge. If it does not, you will need to
remove the plate manually as it is most likely stuck under-
neath the gate. This may require a pair of pliers. Take care
not to damage the ejector blade or gate mechanism.
5. Once the jammed plate is removed, re-install the plates in
the plate hold.
Cleaning Procedure
1. The linkages, ejector blade and housing should be cleaned
weekly with a commercial solvent.
2. Special attention should be paid to the linkage connections
and the groove in the casting (black base) that holds the
ejector blade. Be sure these grooves are free of burrs,
asphalt and dirt.
3. Once clean, re-lubricate the ejector blade track with
Tri-Flow or a Teflon-based lubricant.
4. The gate should also be checked periodically to ensure it is
not sticking. If it is, clean with a degreaser and re-lubricate.
