How do I clear the nail/staple jam from the pneumatic tool?
This is vary from tool to tool,depending upon the design.Generally,a jam is a fastener that has collapsed
and is lodged between the driver and the nose.This causes a lot of stress that must be relived. Most jams
can be cleared by pushing the driver back up into the tool.Safety first, disconnect the tool from the air supply
using a hammer and punch.Push the diver upwards and past the jammed fastener by placing the punch at
the tip of the driver exposed out of the nose and tapping the hammer against the punch.
Note: only strike the driver,as it is the hardest part.It is also the only moving part in that area.If you strike the
jammed fastener,you may have worsen the stress.Smaller tools,such as finish nailers,staples,and brad nailers
may have to be disassembled at the nose to relieve the jam.
