Removing jammed nails
CAUTION:
Always return the trigger and dis-
connect the hose before removing jammed nails.
CAUTION:
Do not use deformed nails or nail
strip. Failure to do so causes poor nail feeding.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Before attempting to perform
inspection or maintenance, always return the trig-
ger and disconnect the air hose from the tool.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
Nails
Handle nail coils and their box carefully. If the nail coils
have been handled roughly, they may be out of shape,
causing poor nail feed.
Avoid storing nails in a very humid or hot place or place
exposed to direct sunlight.
Cleaning and removal of tar and dirt
CAUTION:
Always wear waterproof gloves to
protect your hands.
Adhesion of tar and dirt to areas around the contact
element will prevent smooth movement of the contact
element (safety mechanism), causing accidental dis-
charge. Periodically clean the areas around the contact
element.
Use a solvent such as kerosene, #2 fuel oil or diesel
fuel. Immerse only the contact element and the areas
around the ejection port in solvent and remove tar and
dirt with brush.
NOTICE:
Never immerse the housing, magazine,
etc. in solvent. Malfunction of the tool may result.
NOTE: Always dispose of the solvent used in a safe
and prudent manner and in compliance with all local
and national code requirement.
