Top 20 Dewalt DC616kn 18 - volt 16 - gauge straight finish nailer Questions & Answers

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.

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.

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.)

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

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!

if the nailer is for 18 guage nail use 18 gauge nail if not 16 guage will jam. if it is not the problem is the profile return asyy may jam in side.

It has a pressure valve, that's all.

I was facing this exact same issue. My dewalt compressor was spitting milky oil, and then suddenly stopped working but then I found this troubleshooting guide which really solved my issue: https://aircompressorinsider.com/air-compressor-problems-and-solutions/ Your mentioned issues were at somewhere around number 60-65, I dont exactly remember it now :)

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.

there is not one.

pin has debris /bent and needs lube or retractor needs repair

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.

THERE IS NONE

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

Likely nothing special just different setting from factory?

What? If it won't shut off when it trips the limit valve. You need to replace the pressure switch.

sounds like you ran it off level and siexed the pump

Valve plate

Not enough volume... if psi is good just increase the size of the line.
