MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other parts could create a hazard
or cause product damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
CLEANING THE NAIL CHANNEL
See Figure 10, page 13.
WARNING:
Always point the tool away from yourself and oth-
ers when cleaning the nail channel. Failure to do
so could result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Never place a hand or any part of body in fastener
discharge area of tool when cleaning the nail chan-
nel. Failure to do so could result in serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
Keep clear of the driver blade and the drive guide
when the drive guide cover is removed. The ex-
posed driver blade can cause serious personal
injury if it releases unexpectedly while the cover
is removed.
If the tool will not drive a nail, or cycles without driving a nail,
glue residue from the nail strip may need to be cleaned from
the area around the driving mechanism.
� Remove the battery pack.
� Remove nails from the tool.
� Using the hex wrench, remove the two bolts and drive
guide cover.
� Use shop air or compressed air to blow down the nail
channel, removing all traces of glue.
� Inspect the driver blade and guide for any damage.
NOTE: Do not operate the tool if any damage is found.
� Reinstall the drive guide cover and bolts, making sure
they are secure.
� Reinstall nails in the tool and close the magazine.
WARNING:
Never place a hand or any part of body in fastener
discharge area of tool when removing a jammed
nail. Failure to do so could result in serious per-
sonal injury.
� Remove battery pack from the tool.
� Open magazine and remove nails from the tool.
� Using the hex wrench, loosen the two bolts and drive
guide cover.
� Use needle nose pliers to remove the nail.
� Inspect the driver blade for any damage.
NOTE: Do not operate the tool if the driver blade is dam-
aged.
� Reinstall the drive guide cover and bolts, making sure
they are secure.
� Reinstall nails and close the magazine.
� Reinstall the battery pack, reactivate tool.
NOTE: Driving too deeply into the material, excess debris,
or jammed nails may lead to a driver blade being stuck at
its bottom position. This could also lead to damage of the
driver blade.
The driver blade can usually be returned to its operating
position by positioning the nose against a scrap piece of
wood and squeezing the trigger.
If the tool cycles without driving a nail, the nail channel may
be dirty. See Cleaning the Nail Channel in the Maintenance
section of this manual.
