RYOBI Battery-powered Nailer or Stapler work-contacting element doesn’t fully depress & won’t work

Ryobi Nailers and Staplers are commonly fitted with a line-lockout which prevents the tool from jamming when the nails are low (approximately when there's 5 nails left).

• If this occurs, replenish the magazine with more nails or staples.
• To learn how to load nails or staples, refer to the relevant 'how to' instruction for your product: 
  • Load Nails into a 18V 18ga Brad Nailer
  • Load narrow Crown Staples into a RYOBI 18ga Narrow Crown Stapler
  • Load staples into a RYOBI 18V One+ Stapler
  • Load nails into a RYOBI 18V One+ Airstrike 15ga DA Finish Nailer
• Otherwise, this issue may occur if there is a jammed nail. To learn how to clear a jam, see: Clearing a Jammed Nailer or Stapler
