TO CLEAR A NAIL JAM:

position before trying to remove a jammed nail. The 
spare Driving Blade works best for this.
2. Try to pull the jammed nail out of the gate with a pair 
of long nose pliers. If this does not work remove the 
four (4) cap screws holding the Foot, Gate and Nail 
Channel Assembly together.
