    1 is there a test i can do to be sure the sparking unit is gone have replaced plug and lead stil not fire fan comes on but when press trigger no spark

    you have to depress the roller lever first and then the trigger. the roller is below the fan housing. depress and hold it while depressing the trigger. Make sure the terminal block by the switch is fully seated. Other than that unless you have a spare one there is no electrical test that I know of for the spark unit. They are not cheap. If you take it to a repair shop usually you can talk them into trying another unit before buying a new one..

Check the fuel cell first, there is an expiration date on the bottom and out of date fuel can cause a problem. As far as repair it depends on where you are located. You can try going to somebody like Lowes or Home Depot and asking them or look in your phone book under tools repair for a local service repair center that might be able to fix. If you are around Ohio I can help you with the problem.

SOURCE: paslode nail gun not firing

Hi,
Yes you need to oil driver blade piston.
You need to check for spark. With no nail or gas in it. Take of main cylinder(4bolts on top, 2 bolts on nose. And then put in battery. And then push upper switch(behind roller at top) and the fan will come on. And then pull the trigger. You should have spark.
Thanks,
Jeff

SOURCE: nail gun won't fire

Try this. Take the handle off the tool per the cleaning instructions. Install the battery and push down on the roller lever in the upper handle. It's located close to the fan blade. (Item 27 on the tool schematic.) Keep your finger out of the way or the fan will bite you.
If the fan goes on, then the roller lever is bent and needs replacing or adjusting.
If the fan does not go on, release the lever and pull the trigger. If the fan works, then the molded circuit board needs to be replaced.

SOURCE: Paslode nail gun 325 black not firing

Any time these guns become intermittent or stop firing but the fan still runs, the first the to check is the expiration date on the gas cartridges. The do expire and this will make the gun work inconsistently or not at all.

Testimonial: "Thanks for that, i will look into it! Thanks for your time.... Cheers, Steven. ;-)"

With 90 # air and PC nails. When I pull the trigger nothing happens. No air noise, no nailing, no movement - just dead. It's been oiled every use.

Most likely stuck trigger valve. Easy to check. Remove nails, remove trigger to expose the firing pin of trigger valve. Connect air and very quickly depress the firing pin all the way in. If the gun fires , adjust the safety to depress the trigger valve completely. If the gun does not fire, replace firing valve, or remove and check /lube o-rings in valve. Good luck

The gun won't work right

As a safety precaution, nailers have incorporated a safety foot that will prevent the gun from firing unless you push down hard. Some guns also have a system where the gun will not fire at all if there are no nails in the gun. To dry fire this type of gun you must pull back the pusher or open the side door. If nails do not feed properly, check for wrong nails, bent rails or weak pusher spring. If all is good with rails and pusher, suspect that the driver/piston is not at top of cylinder and lower part of driver blade is preventing nails from advancing. Remove airline and push the driver to top and retest. If driver is slipping down the cylinder under its own weight, replace oring. Good luck

I have a paslode airless framer that wont fire. New batterry & fuel cell. It make the noise but wont fire

Hello harderconstr, I have that nail gun myself, and when it's working good it is a great tool to have.
Here are a few suggestions.
1. Remove the battery, make sure that you don't have a nail jammed in the the firing chamber, that has happened to mine before.

2. Adjust the depth tension on the end of the gun. You should have an alen wrench to loosen the adjuster at the tip. Slide the adjuster away from the gun, ( out ) as far as it will go and then tighten it back down. Reinstall the battery and try it again. You can re-adjust the tension after you see if this helps the problem. The adjuster on my gun was worn and I needed to adjust the tension to get it firing again.
3. I also got a new battery for my gun, and what I found was I really had to slide the battery in pretty hard to get it to click in place. Also, when you hold the gun in your right hand, the thumb side of the handle should have a very small LED light, red means it's not ready to fire, green means it is ready to fire. Make sure you have a green light.
I hope this helps you my friend!

Fires 2 & 3 nails every so often.

Most all nail guns can be converted to single fire, however, usually parts must be changed. Some brands have two positions on the trigger, others have a button position near the trigger to accomplish same. Check with dealer or email your gun model # and I will explain your to fix. For now you can replace the spring on the safety with one slightly stiffer. Also try nailing with trigger depressed and quickly bump the gun to fire, this method usually works better than placing the gun in position then firing. Good luck with your repair.

My finish nail guns, 16 ga won't fire.

There is a little plastic piece inside above the trigger...usually this breaks. It touches a microswitch when the cylinder is closed all the way, allowing the nail to fire.

Brad nailer not firing nail...can hear brief air noise upon pulling the trigger

Porter cable makes a number of brad nailers (18 gauge) that very quickly suffer from the problem that you are having. You did not mention the model number of your gun but if it is one of these, (bn125a, bn200a, ns100a) kit # 60061 will fix the problem. It costs between 25 and 30 dollars. Google that part number or order from www.dewalt.com. Dewalt owns the porter cable brand. Before you order the kit, check that the driver blade is not bent and stuck. The driver should travel freely down the cylinder. When you install parts, use Danco silicone grease to lube (availabel at Lowes in the plumbing department) If your model # is different from those mentioned above, please email me and I will recommend a repair.

Nail Gun Problem

Professional-grade varieties are automatic, and fire a nail directly upon pulling the trigger. A semi-automatic nail gun is more appropriate for beginners, since it requires a two step process: pull the trigger and then tap the barrel against the wood. This safety feature protects the user from accidentally firing a nail gun and injuring himself or others.
