How to Deal with a Nail Jam on a Finish Nailer or Brad Nailer Tool
Hi, this is John on behalf of Expert Village. In this video clip I'll be showing you how to clear a jammed nail. The first step is to disconnect your air supply from your tool, we don't want it to accidentally go off. Next we're going to release the pusher, this is going to make it so there's no pressure on these nails. First we need to release the front latch, which is located right here and that's going to allow us to remove our front door which is located right here. Inside the piece the brad nails will actually go through the center of it. Right in the center, right before our front door is where these brad nails will get jammed up, you need to take a screwdriver and pry those out. Once the nails have been cleared, go ahead and close your front door, reconnect your latch, go ahead and close your pusher and reconnect your error.
