Aligning Nosepiece
The nosepiece may become misaligned if the
nailer has been dropped or otherwise mishan-
dled. Misfiring and/or jamming will result if the
nosepiece is misaligned – but correcting the
problem is simple.
To align the nosepiece:
1.
Remove the nosepiece cover.
2.
Remove fasteners and visually inspect to
see if the nail slot in the nosepiece is aligned
with the nail slot in the magazine. If it is hard
to tell, put a nail in and see if it slides through
both slots easily.
3.
If the nosepiece is misaligned, loosen the
cap screws that secure it to the magazine
and shift it until it lines up.
4.
Re-assemble.
5.
Do not
put any fasteners into the magazine.
Connect the air hose.Check for any leaking
air. You will hear it hissing or feel it rushing
through the spaces.
6.
If everything sounds normal, press the safe-
ty nose down on a piece of wood and pull the
trigger a couple of times. Air should be
exhausted normally each time.
Jamming
To repair a jam:
1.
Remove any fasteners remaining in the gun.
2.
Partially unscrew the cap screws that hold
the nosepiece cover in place. Slide the nose-
piece cover down and pull it off.

(
G1861:
Remove the safety tip before
removing the nosepiece cover.)
4.
Remove any fasteners lodged in the nailer
nose.
5.
Re-attach the nosepiece cover. Make sure it
lines up properly.
G1861:
Attach the safety
tip.
6.
Load fasteners and connect the nailer to the
air supply.
7.
Make sure the safety tip is functioning cor-
rectly and that it slides freely. Test fire into a
sample piece.
If jamming persists, make sure you are using fas-
teners within the size range of this nailer. If jam-
ming is due to worn or broken parts, repair or
replace them before placing the nailer back into
service.

DO NOT attempt to repair or service this
gun without ensuring that all nails or sta-
ples have been removed and that the gun is
disconnected from its air source. Use
extreme care when testing after freeing
jams or after re-loading. Always wear
approved safety glasses or goggles and
quality hearing protection when operating
pneumatic guns or other woodworking
tools and machinery. Failure to do so could
result in serious personal injury.
