Service, Repair and Performance Electric Tools

My electric nailer / stapler is tripping the circuit breaker in my home / workshop when I fire it.

The larger (50mm) electric nailers and staplers draw a considerable current (amperage) at the point of firing. You can remove one or more electrical products which are also plugged in and this may solve the problem. Alternatively, you will need to upgrade your fuse/circuit breaker.

How do I remove a jammed nail/staple from my electric tool?

To unjam the tool, unplug it from the power source. Tilt the tool and remove any unused nails from the magazine channel. Open the quick release nose plate and gently dislodge the jammed nail/staple using a punch.

The nail/staple does not go fully into the wood, is this a fault?

To get the best performance from an electric tool, it is recommended to use two hands to apply downward pressure to counteract the upward force that is generated by the coil.
