SAFETY FIRST
Before addressing any issue on your nail gun, we need to make the tool safe - remove the fasteners and all the battery and fuel cell. Now that your tool is inoperative, it’s safe for you to clear the jam. Look down the nose of the gun to check to see if you can see a jam.
How to unjam a nail gun:
- Unscrew the two front nose bolts (FrameMaster) and separate the nose from the magazine; or lift the nose latch (TrimMaster), releasing the front nose plate.
- Locate the stuck nail in the nose of the gun and remove it – sometimes this can be done just with your fingers, other times you may need the use of a screwdriver or set of pliers.
- While you have the tool apart, it’s a good time to give it a quick inspection:
- Make sure there are no other blockages in the top of the magazine
- Check that the driver blade has returned all the way to it’s back “rest” position
- Make sure there is no other metal or paper jammed up in the top of the tool
- Close the front nose and refix it.
- Reinsert the battery and the fuel cell.
- Reload the tool with fasteners.
- Test to ensure a successful operation.
