SOURCE: gun wont sink nail
sounds like safety needs adjusted you have bent the arm and it is thinking that the guard is not fully depressed and thus it vents air . adjust it with wrench or straighten arm. I have had this happen before- but in my case the adjuster backed off- same result -look in manual for adjusting as well - should be there or take to service -easy fix and should be cheap
SOURCE: nails keep jamming in the gun. how do you fix that
Not all nails are exactly to gauge, but if they measure about right (take one nail off strip and see if it fits snuggly into bottom of nose) most likely the problem is the driver; missing tip or bent. Remove head and pull out driver. If just the tip is broken you can grind it square again and if bent you could try to adjust. If not driver is available at dewalt service center and at www.toolpartsdirect.com Good luck

Hi, it sounds like you need a new gasket and seal kit, and/or perhaps a new spring, also check that something may be blocking up the mechanism when held vertical? something isn't sealing, or jamming open when used like that. Sometimes a judicious drop of oil also may help, it's worth a try... also as usual check the pressure too....

For an FYI, i have given you a link above that may assist you in understanding it all.
My advice is to take the unit to a good Dewalt repair center, and get it serviced.

Many nailers have this issue - and it is not your particular unit that has a unique issue handling upside down shooting.
If it has always performed like this - there is nothing that can be done - the issue is in the mechanics of the head. There aren't many situations a framing nailer is used in the upside down position.
There is also a recall on this unit having to do with the trigger mechanism:

The link below is where you can download the owners manual. The link is on that page near the top right hand side under the area marked downloads. Page 5 will show you were the switch is located that switches the tool from sequential fire to bump fire.
