Clearing Jams - Central Pneumatic 69575 Owner's Manual & Safety Instructions

Clearing Jams

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION,
BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS ARE DONE (including clearing jams):
• Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles with side shields.
Other people in the work area must also wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles with side shields.
• Release the trigger.
• Detach the air supply.
• Attempt to fire the Tool into a piece of scrap wood to ensure that it
is disconnected and is incapable of firing any fasteners.
• Empty the Magazine and leave the Pusher pulled back during service.
The Pusher is spring-loaded and may cause parts or a fastener to fly out of the Tool.
1. WARNING! Hold the Nailer pointed away from you
and any other people or fragile objects. HOLD
THE PUSHER BACK DURING THIS OPERATION
AND BE CAREFUL NOT TO BUMP THE LATCH.
2. Press down on the Quick Release
Lever at the top of the Magazine.
3. Carefully lift the Cover Plate off the Driver
Guide and use pliers to remove any stuck
fasteners from the jammed Nailer.
4. Inspect the Driver Guide for any bends or
breakage. If it is damaged, do not use the Nailer
until it is repaired by a qualified technician.
5. Lightly oil the Driver Guide and replace the Cover
Plate. Place the Latch under the hooks on the
Driver Guide and pull up on the Quick Release
Lever, locking the Cover Plate in place.
6. If a fastener is jammed in the magazine, pull the
Pusher all the way back to the engaged position.
Use a screwdriver to release the jammed fastener
by probing the openings in the magazine.
Item 69575 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.
7. Pull out the jammed fastener and the remainder of
the fastener strip from the magazine.
Dispose of the remaining fastener strip;
it is likely bent or damaged and may cause repeated
jamming or damage to the tool if reused.
8. If the jam cannot be cleared using the methods
above, have the tool serviced by a
qualified technician.
