SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP
Clearing Jams
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION,
BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS ARE DONE (including clearing jams):
•Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles with side shields.
Other people in the work area must also wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles with side shields.
•Release the trigger.
•Detach the air supply.
•Attempt to fire the Tool into a piece of scrap wood to ensure that it
is disconnected and is incapable of firing any fasteners.
•Empty the Magazine and leave it open during service.
The Magazine is spring-loaded and may cause parts or a fastener to fly out of the Tool.
If a fastener is jammed in the discharge area:
1. Disconnect Tool from air hose, press down
on the Magazine Release (35) to open the
Magazine. Open the Magazine completely.
2. Empty Magazine of staples, release any built-up
air pressure, and leave the Magazine open.
3. Remove Screws (2) holding the Driver
Guide Cover (43) in place. Lift the Driver
Guide Cover up off the Driver Guide (47)
and remove the jammed fasteners.
4. Inspect Driver Guide for bends or breakage.
If it is damaged, do not use the Tool until
it is repaired by a qualified technician.
5. Lightly oil Driver Guide and replace
the Driver Guide Cover.
WARNING! Make sure the Safety Nosepiece (44)
moves freely and is not pinched by the
Driver Guide Cover in any way.
6. If the jam cannot be cleared using the
method above, have the tool serviced
by a qualified technician.
If a fastener is jammed in the Magazine:

the Magazine. Open the Magazine completely.
2. Use a screwdriver to release the jammed fastener
