Gun keeps jamming. when shooting it jams. - Sport & Outdoor - Others

The only way that I have been able to remove really stuck driver is to remove the head and cylinder so that you can place the body of the gun against piece of wood (this will prevent the head from cracking) with nose of gun pointing up. Then Use a broken driver blade ground narrower to allow for stuck nail to pass and strike with large brass hammer.

if safety is jamming, its either bent or the pin that keeps it in place is missing/broken, you can find the pin right in front of the trigger. now as far as the nails jamming could be a few things. 1. wrong nails 2.right nail but may have gotten a defective batch 3. bucket that holds nails is adjusted to wrong size. 4.nails have been dropped/ squished and coil is not round anymore 5. nose is very worn and two nails are trying to come out at a time 6. driver is worn/broken and is trying to push out two nails at one time

1. Get a ruler
2. Push the ruler down the barrel so the end is near the bottom of the disc
3. Jiggle the ruler from left to right
4. Shoot the gun/Press the disc eject switch

Check the instructions for cleaning and lubrication tips. Sounds like you have a buildup of the adhesive that holds staples in "sticks," and it's keeping the staple stick from moving forward into the firing position.

Sounds like you have a staple jammed in it , so the hammer is stuck.

Staple gun are simple device and the 'shooting' mechanism is just a sring loaded bar that hammers the staple out: the problem is usually a jam/stuck staple where the staple in the orifice where the staple comes out. Just use a small screwdriver and /or plier to remove the stuck staple which could be jammed against the hammer bar. You may need to force the hammer bar backwards with the help of your small flat head screwdriver.

Hope it helps!

My Reliant brad gun won't take an 1 1/4" brad. It only goes up to 1 3/16". I have to find more of those myself.

You have too many staples in the gun. Chances are it was not shooting staples so you put more in. (Only holds 1 strip as if new from box) Check for a jam. Sometimes this keeps more staples from advancing. Please rate

Not sure exactly what Bostitch framer model you have, but if it is powered by compressed air, as long as you remove the air hose from the nail gun, there should be no risk of the nail gun firing while you remove the jammed nail. There should be a way to access the driver area from the top of the nail gun, even via a latch or a couple screws. Remove the top part of the driver area and that should give you access to the jammed nail, which you can remove. Use long nose pliers or something similar if the nails are really stuck.
