It sounds like the air pressure on your compressor is too high..lower it and see if your gun shoots better.

Use white grease or silicone paste. White grease will stay in the gun longer . Silicone paste is cleaner will cost more however will break down with water that enters the gun and will tend to dry out. In either case, the grease will wash out of the gun if you use too much oil on a daily basis. For best results, install an oiler that will introduce oil mist into the gun (not expensive).

There are many different brands of nails sold for your gun. Nail companies try to sell nails to fit as many different guns as possible in one box(will range a few degrees). I have found that the stated angle is not always exact. To determin the best nail for your gun, place a strip of nails on the outside of the rails with top of the strip of nails (nail heads) aligned with rails. Now slide the nails forware to the centerline of the path of the driver. If a perfect fit, the first nail will align with the rails and the path of the driver. Note if the bottom of the nail is ahead of the nail head. If this is the case the driver will not hit squarely on the head of the nail. If the head is in line with the driver but the shaft of the nail angles back toward the rails, the nail may jam against the nose. Use your best judgement when buying nails. If you have not had a jam, keep using the nails, however test the nail as described above for good fit. Good luck

Did you rebuild the tool? If not remove all the nails and unplug air, BUMP nose on piece of wood and does driver fall down? If so the pistion o ring needs to be replaced. Also if this is not the case look for a jammed nail in the magazine/nose area. Next check for a bent driver blade. All the above could cause your problem

The reason it is not retracting most likely is the Piston O-ring itself. I would replace the piston stop of course, but it is not the cause of the initial problem. Let me know if you run into any problems, and I'll be happy to help!

I also have a PC Model 136 belt sander. Although I don't do a lot of woodworking, it has proved to be a workhorse when I needed it. I don't have a problem with breaking belts - the last ones I bought at OSH. The problem that has developed with mine is getting the belt alignment adjusted, after a belt change, to not run against the sander body. A little banging (with my hand) will correct the problem. I have serviced it to free up the fulcrum, but it still jams most of the time. This doesn't address your problem, but it is good to hear of someone else who appreciates the fine older tools. Just a further thought - the newer belts I have purchased are bi-directional, e.g., they will run either way. I know that the older belts had to run one way and running them backward could - almost surely would - cause them to break. I won't insult your intelligence to suggest that that might be your problem.

The brushes are not replaceable - it is an entire motor assembly. 1) remove the 2 screws holding the top handle on 2) remove the 2 screws on the top of the housing (front either side of switch) 3) remove single screw holding cord hook (rear side of housing) 4) remove small torx screw in the shaker handle and remove the handle Flip over and using a screwdriver begin to pry the top cover off the housing (easiest to get the front side off first)

any word on type of nailer?

call this company, they have the different types I purchased from them and no complaints https://www.ereplacementparts.com/porter-cable-7800-

first you need to remove the tank and get rid of the rust with a rust kill agent, vinga or chemical type with corrosive converter, then liquid paint the inside of the tank, swilling the paint inside and leave to drip out. then find a high pressure line filter, these are a solid filter and put in line. to stop this happening again to the tank you can also put a drop valve in place and when not in use press to release the air inside as this is what rusts the tank. but after the restoration it should be fine without a filter.

Is this it? https://www.manualslib.com/manual/132302/Porter-Cable-Bsv750.html

I suggest that you make sure that there is no air he tool so, remove the air supply. Then if you remove the cover from the nose (Making sure that you also take out all the unused nails first) it should allow access to the front nose plate. If you remove this, it will allow you to carefully remove the nail. While you're at it, check that the driver blade tip doesn't have any burring or damage to it. If so, you might need to fettle it back into shape or, replace it?

take it back for a warranty exchange make sure that the voltage listed on the machine is the same as used in the house

Remove the screws holding the 2 sides together and expose the wiring. Remove the remnants of old cord and replace with new one. Reassemble.

Hello Terry Dugger, If it is suddenly stopping it could be a bearing problem... but if it is slowing down like a tired battery... DEPENDING VERY MUCH on what kind of battery you have (undisclosed model ...purpose tool)... "some" RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES develop a memory... and are reluctant to go BELOW that level. Typically these are seldom used tools... wiki does a pretty good description on these batteries (types). There are folks out there that think it is CLEVER to DISCHARGE these thing... or pulse them to BREAK THE MEMORY. Likely to case a fire or explode as to succeed... If you are suddenly using a tool that has been stored foe a while... you MIGHT notice the battery time is getting better... Else just buy a replacement battery... Cordless tools do not do well if stored incorrectly. Hope this helps. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_effect Nickelcadmium battery Porter Cable Home Amazon com porter cable batteries
