the "Required Daily Testing" section.
Do not use the tool unless you thor-
oughly understand the actuation
operation selected.
Disconnect the air supply from the
tool and remove fastener strips
before leaving the work area, mov-
ing the tool to another location, or
handing the tool to another person.
Failure to do so could result in seri-
ous injury.

Clearing a Jammed Fastener
Most jams are caused by a fastener or part of
a fastener wedging between the driver blade
and the fastener guide. Fastener strips with
an incorrect collation angle or the wrong fas-
tener type may cause continuous jamming.
To clear the jam:
1. Lay the tool on its side and point the
nose of the tool away from yourself and
others.
2. Disconnect the air supply from the tool
and remove fastener strip. Leave the
pusher assembly open.
3. Remove any debris.
4. Insert a screwdriver into the end of the
fastener guide. The tip of the screw-
driver should contact the tip of the driver
blade.
5. Tap the screwdriver gently with a ham-
mer. The screwdriver will push the driver
blade back, freeing the jam.
6. Remove the fastener and other debris
(use needle-nose pliers if necessary).
7. Follow the steps under "Required Daily
Testing" before restarting the work.
1. Lay the tool on its side and point the
nose of the tool away from yourself and
others.
2. Disconnect the air supply from the tool.
3. Place your hand on the end cap of the
pusher assembly before pressing the
pusher release button. Press the pusher
release button and gently slide back the
pusher assembly. Do not allow the pusher
assembly to slide back fast.
4. Tip down the nose of the tool to remove
fastener strip from the tool.
5.
Reload according to "Installing Fastener
Strips".
WARNING
To avoid serious injury, disconnect
the tool from the air supply before
removing fastener strips or clearing
a jammed fastener.
