To make removing jammed nails quick and easy, Campbell Hausfeld has added an easy-to-open nose to its pneumatic air nailers.
-
Remove the air hose at the coupler on the back of the air nailer.
-
Slide back the push lever on the left side of the nail magazine until it locks open, and remove the remaining clips of nails from the magazine.
-
Open the nose of the nailer by pulling the handle, located just beneath the front of the cylinder, forward to loosen the nose. Lift the nose out of the way.
-
Remove any bent or jammed nails from the nailer. Use a pair of needle-nose pliers if necessary.
-
Lock the nose closed by pushing the nose to the tip of the nailer and closing the handle against the base of the cylinder.
-
Replace the nail clips in the magazine, and reconnect the air hose to the nailer.
-
Fire a couple of test shots. If the nailer still won't fire, repeat the steps.
