CARE AND MAINTENANCE
18
Nail gun must be well-cleaned and lightly lubricated before storing
Place 2 to 6 drops of pneumatic tool oil (not included) into the air inlet before each work day or
after 2 hours of continuous use depending on the characteristic of workpiece or type of fasteners.
Inspect trigger and safety mechanism to ensure system is safe and functional. Make sure there
are no loose or missing parts, and no binding or sticking parts.
If your tool is used without the in-liner automatic oiler, regular lubrication is required.
Store nail gun in a dry and safe place, out of reach of children
Storing
Clearing a jammed nail gun:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before performing any maintenance. All nail guns excluding
the 23 GA brad nailer have a quick release handle to loosen and/or remove any fastener(s)/nail(s).
Once air supply is disconnected, pull back on the nail switch release latch or press the release
switch and remove any fastener(s) or nail(s) which are in the magazine. Pull open the quick release
handle. After opening, the fastener(s)/nail(s) should come out. If the fastener(s)/nail(s) are not
released insert a flathead screwdriver (not included) into the driving mechanism of the nail gun
and push the driving mechanism back into the gun body. This should release the fastener(s)/nail(s)
and clear any jam. If you have any questions, please consult your retailer for additional assistance.
The 23 GA brad nailer does not have a quick release handle. To clear a nail jam, disconnect the
tool from the air supply before performing any maintenance. Once air supply is disconnected,
press the release switch on the movable magazine and pull back on the movable magazine.
Remove any fastener(s)/nail(s) which are in the magazine. Insert a flathead screwdriver (not
included) into the driving mechanism of the nail gun and push the driving mechanism back into the
gun body (the use of a hex wrench may be needed to adjust the front of the nail magazine for a
flathead screwdriver to fit). Remove any bent fastener(s)/nail(s) from the gun body or driver guide.
Once bent fastener(s)/nail(s) are removed, align and re-tighten the magazine housing (if loosened).
Once aligned and properly tightened, reinsert the fastener(s)/nail(s) into the magazine. Reconnect
the air supply to the nail gun.
