Dewalt dc618 wont fire

firstly its always better to change both of the bands even if one is broken this always keeps the drive trim.all seems well clean all the contacts ie battery and gun (do not use any cleaning products this will cause grease)just wipe clean with paper towel.

Motor doesn't run, but light remains steady

There are two possiblilites. One is that the switch is broken (the electrical part of it has failed) and the other is that the motor is broken. Usually is the first based on my experience.

Dewalt dc618 nailer is not firing

I have both the DC616 and 618 and have used them sucessfully for about three years. Two main things go wrong. There is a drive belt that breaks (drives the spool that give the energy to drive in the nails), second are two small rubber bands on either side of the drive head that break. The bands can be accessed by taking off the front silver cover, the drive belt is access by spliting the case. Make sure you are using the correct nails or the drive pin may become bent and will jamb repeatedly. Hope that helps!

When i put the battery

Four flashes is a low battery, multiple flashes indicates a jam.

It may be hard to see - or the driver is stuck. Remove all nails and check again - see silver? It's either the driver (push it back up) or a nail (remove it with pliers.)

Dewalt cordless nail gun fires but doesn't seem to

Try another brand of nails -- maybe your gun doesn't like those. Also, blow any dirt out of the nail magazine.

Dewalt D55146 air compressor almost immediately shuts down

I was facing this exact same issue.

My Dewalt 15 gal D55168 air compressor will not continuously build air after air supply has been depleted. Please provide help or a service center close by. I live in NW Oklahoma. Thank you.

you may be using more air that unit can supply. This is a very common error. it is only 5 cfm which is small. Call Whitton Supply Co. or visit our local Oklahoma City showroom (405) 236-5561.

My dewalt 15 gal D55168 runs momentarily then trips the GFI outlet.

There is a ground fault in that case. If you are in need to ask this sort of question, I recommend the services of a qualified electrician.

I need to find the reset button on a D55146 Dewalt air compressor

There is no reset button for the compressor, if the compressor won't start check the valve is not open, also check the outlet power, Shut the drain valve at the bottom of the tank if it's open
