Check the date code on the bottom of your fuel - it doesn't matter if it feels full or that you just bought it, many stores don't rotate their stock. The #1 issue with these is bad fuel.

This probably is the problem,

The cylinder that the piston moves up and down inside is probably to low, and not making contact with the rubber piece in the head cap.

The cylinder has a spring that allows for movement up and down, take a pliers and gently pull up the cylinder if it does not move freely on its own. It will stop when it reaches the cylinder plate ( the part with 2 screw holes for easy removal). Be careful not to mar the cylinder though.

When reassembling the cylinder should make contact with the head cap. Hope that works!

just wondering if you are putting enough down pressure on it before you pull the trigger.?

1. Have you adjusted the air pressure to at least 100 PSI? 2. Have you cleaned and lubricated the gun per manufacturer's instructions? 3. Are you driving nails into hard wood (oak, walnut, etc.)? Some guns are simply not powerful enough to handle extremely hard woods.

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.

This is not a common problem for your nailer. Indicates a small leak in air path from triggering valve to head cap assembly. Assuming that there are no external air leaks, I would clean and lube the cylinder. Try to smooth all the fine scratches that you see on the cylinder where orings make contact. I use very fine sandpaper and turn the cylinder with a drill attachment. (you can be creative with an attachment, like a round piece of wood 2-3 inches in length that fits snugly into the cylinder find center and screw in a 1/4 in diameter screw, cut off head of screw.) Place your homemade attachment onto drill and slip into cylinder, the wood attachment will not damage the cylinder. I use a variable speed drill and turn slowly while I hold a strip of sandpaper against scratched area. Just a light even sanding is all that is needed. If not too scratched just leave as is. Replace oring number 877316 for cylinder plate (outer) and 877327 packing and lube with white grease. You do not have to replace any other orings unless they look damaged. If you replace all the orings, the cylinder will be too tight and my not work at all. Make sure that the three bolts on top of head are tight (no need to remove them, just make sure they are tight). Good luck.

The reason that you are having trouble re-assembling the ribbon spring is that you need three hands to complete the job. As you recall the nail pusher just slips into the front of the rails. The pusher has the spring and a pin to retain the spool in place. Install the spring with the bolt hole towards leaver and slip into the front of rails. Take a small paper clip and bend a small hook to catch the ribbon spring. Hook the springs bolt hole with the paper clip and hold the spring in the approximate position for bolt as you push the assembly into rails and use latch to hold. While holding spring with paperclip, insert bolt thru rails and spring into nosepiece. Just break off the paperclip at this point and you are almost done. Some nailers have a metal support clip that you would need to have in place on bolt before installing bolt thru spring. For a breakdown of the gun go to www.toolpartsdirect.com. The other bolt for rails has a support/guide for the safety foot. Good luck and email if you have questions.

If its constant leaking inside the nailer (not between cap and body to outside feeling an airstream in front or on one side )then there is an problem between top seals VALVE and seals o-rings on top of the piston cilinder the parts on the top of the cilinder Seals and in the top in high priority must all be replaced because of the building up heat overtime the gaskets seals and o-rings are getting hot and hardened out over time there are only separate parts selled one by one to get I have not seen hitachi gasket/o-ring kits for nailers there where only complete kits for the older range of demolition hammers , but in the new models not anymore outside the States m,aybe but in Europe not. replacing the piston bumper could sometimes help extra because of the little height difference of the cillinder . If leaking between cap and body with a palpable airstream and before the seal was closed tight , retapping the treaths some greater in the magnesium body and place helicoils inside it could be bad treath in one of them , it must put firmly fixed that will not fasten enough that was with the Brand Dutack Pro a high priority problem for a few years ago exact the same a few years now its modificated and that problem is gone.

how old are the batteries. how old is the charger. if one or the other is too old or defective, the bad part will "fail safe"the system. shut down so it doesnt explode or burn if it does it with multiple batteries its probably the charger.be sure to check your electrical source too. bad outlet?? be careful these batts can be dangerous. ,

yes its good one.
