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 to your product:

Step	Action
1.	Load staples into a RYOBI 18V One+ Stapler
