1) Oil it per the operating instructions.
2) Use only high-quality fasteners. I recommend Hitachi or Bostitch, although those from Harbor Freight Tools are largely trouble-free.
3) Make sure nails are properly inserted in the gun.
4) Check to confirm that your gun is receiving adequate air pressure. With that nailer, I'd suggest 95-105 psi.

SOURCE: need metal slide for nt50ae2, plastic nail slide is allways jamming
I don't believe there is a metal substitute for the stock part. I did not see one on the parts diagram and it is unusual for something like that to be offered as an option. BUT if the tool is jamming I suspect it is not due to the pusher. Make sure you are using the correct gauge (18 for this tool) nails first of all. Make sure you air pressure is adequate. Somewhere around 90psi would be the minimum. If too low of pressure is used it will not allow the driver to retract far enough to advance the next nail. If the tool is not leaking air anywhere then the last thing to check is to make sure the driver isn't bent. That can also lead to jams.
SOURCE: My nt50ae2 brad nailer jams in the magazine. the feeder rides on top of the nails.
This happens. The follower jumps over the nails and the magazine binds.
Step 1. Remove nails, unplug hose.
Step 2. Remove the bolt at the bottom of the magazine with a 2.5mm hex key.
Step 3. Remove the magazine while holding the nail follower in place to the magazine cover.
Step 4. Carefully remove the nail follower and gently extend the yellow warning indicator and follower spring.
Step 6. Inspect the nail follower. There should be 3 indentations that are stamped into nail follower face. This is the culprit.
Step 7. With a small punch, make these three indentations deeper.
Step 8. Assemble and test. Repeat if necessary.
Hope this helps.
