Ryobi P321 Operation Manual - Page 10

OPERATION Driving too deeply into the material, excess debris, or jammed nails may lead to the driver mechanism being stuck at its bottom position. The driver mechanism can usually be returned to its operating position by depressing the workpiece contact against a scrap piece of wood and squeezing the trigger. If this does not automatically return the driver mechanism into the tool, the tool may be jammed. If a nail or fastener becomes jammed in the tool, remove the battery pack and keep the tool pointed away from you while clearing the jam.  Remove battery pack from the tool.  Open magazine and remove nails from the tool.  Pull up on the latch and open the jam release.  Insert a flat blade screwdriver into the tip of the driving mechanism and push the driver mechanism back, freeing the nail jam.  Remove the bent nail.  Close the jam release and latch.  Reinstall nails and close the magazine.  Reinstall the battery, reactivate tool. If the tool cycles without driving a nail, the nail channel may be dirty. See Cleaning the Nail Channel in the Maintenance section of this manual. MAINTENANCE WARNING: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause product damage. GENERAL MAINTENANCE Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc. CLEANING THE NAIL CHANNEL See Figure 13, page 13. If the tool will not drive a nail, or cycles without driving a nail, glue residue from the nail strip may need to be cleaned from the area around the driving mechanism.  Remove the battery pack.  Remove nails from the tool.  Open the jam release latch and the magazine.  Use a small amount of air tool oil on a clean cloth or cotton swab to wipe down the nail channel, removing all traces of glue.  Reinstall nails in the tool and close the magazine. 10 ­- English
