generally when charging the light will be red until a full charge is indicated and the light will turn green. if while trying to charge the light remains green I would try reinserting the battery or charging unit. If still the same you might have a problem with either.

no will load but jamm

It might need a simple valve reset. With air connected and nails removed, hit head against rubber pad or coiled rubber hose. Hit squarely so not to damage the head. It should reset. This usually happens when orings fit tightly or lack of lubrication. Good luck

it could be you are using the wrong nails, the gun should describe the correct angle and size.

Go to the address below and look for your model number of nailer. At the bottom of the page for your gun find the pdf files for manual and parts listing.

If orings fit too tight cylinder will not move against the headvalve seal (headvalve is the black rubber or vinyl seat in the head). To help the cylinder reset, bump the head against rubber matt. If the cylinder resets, good to go, if however the cylinder does not move into position, remove the head and check that cylinder moves up/down about 1/4 inch. If it does not move pull cylinder and use 400 grit sandpaper on cylinder where orings contact. Remove all scratches and reinstall. Good holidays

You have one or more worn o-rings in the head of the gun. They direct the air to the proper parts of the gun to first drive the nail then to return the driver to the top of the gun for the next nail. Depending on the manufacturer and your model number, some companies make kits to replace the o-rings (always replace all of them). For some companies you have to get a breakdown of the gun and order each o-ring seperately.

depends on the problem, an o ring kit at a company I know is about 18.00 and if you do it yourself you save about 30.00 labor. But like I said it depends on what is wrong, if you can be more specific I can try and help

The first place i check is on ebay, usually good price and fast shipping. For complete breakdown and parts go to www.toolpartsdirect.com
Good luck

remove all the nails and remove the air hose. BUMP the tool on something and does the driver come down on its own if so it needs new o rings. also take a look at the feed pawl for a broken spring that would prevent it from feeding nails and lastly look at the coil of nails to make sure they pull freely. Let me know if you need more assistance.

split o ring, when you squeeze the trigger there is a burst of air until fully depressed. Let me know and I will try and help

check the safety for being bent or worn so that it would not engage the trigger

Depending on how much you use the tool. Only apply oil to tool after you have given tool a strip and clean. Or for General maintence just 4 - 6 drops of oil every 3 - 4 week only if you use tool more then 3 times a week( 10,000 nails).Only on the fan assy O-rings.Remember this is only a guide.But if you need more info then try the hitachi web sit or your nearest nail gun repair agent.Good Luck

Hi Andy,

If you're asking what to oil and when, here you go.

Every day before using it, oil the hammer and slide mechanism. Also put several drops into the hose connector. This extends the life of the seals. You should use a light machine oil.

Hope you find this to very helpful

Yes, BUT the paslode Round drive nails and known to cause driver jamms due to the excessive paper used in the spacing of the nails.

there is an adjustment on the front of the tool for the depth of the nail, make sure it is set for the wood being used. If it is then you might have a problem with the o ring being dry and not allowing the piston to fully insert the nail. Let me know and I will try and help further.

if this a Hitachi go to Hitachipowertools.com and type in your model number and you can download a breakdown for it. Let me know if you still need help
