I have noticed that some if not all brands are now using metal wire instead of copper to make coils. Metal wire is stiffer and does not bent down out of the path of the driver. If you are using coils welded together with metal wire (some wire looks copper collored, however when tested with magnet is found to be metal), and after firing a few nails, open side door and check if the leading wire is not bending down. Leading wire will not allow the nail the fully move into the path of the driver. Stiff wire will also cause the next nail in line to pull down slightly. When nail is pulled down slightly, it will be out of the path of the driver. The driver will hit the edge of the nail and cause it to flip. The nails can also flip if the feeder is not pushing the nails fully forward due to low pressure or weak spring or springs (some nailers have a spring pushing feed piston others use air). Finally, the feed piston or the body of the nailer where the feed piston is housed could be worn. With feed piston in forward position (normal) and the feeder claw removed, apply outword pressure to feeder with thumb checking for loose fit. The feeder shaft should not be loose nor move from side to side with thumb pressure. If shaft is loose then most likey lower body of gun worn with no repair. Good luck with you nailer.

Remove the head, take out the blade and make sure its not bent or the tip broke off. Also while out insert the blade into the nose and see if there is any foreign object blocking the blade travel.

There are several allen-key style screws just above the shaft/magazine on this nail gun. Remove those and you should be able to lift the top cover plate and access the shaft and remove the jammed nail. Then replace all back in reverse order (pretty easy to do). Of course, ensure no air supply is connected to the nail gun when you do this.
