Can you put in to much oil in a pnumatic nailer. I am in Florida, the humidity is high. After some use the nail driver sticks and you can hear air bypassing. The driver pushes back in easily. Have been using Ace brand oil, and 10 or so drops.

SOURCE: max roofing nailer

Max nailers are very good quality and parts are not expensive. Parts and parts list at www.toolpartsdirect.com. Check the following to repair not feeding problem.
Check paw in the door should have a light spring action. Feed paw should have a medium spring action. You may have to pull the feed piston back and hold to check feed paw spring action. Feed piston should have heavy spring action. If springs seem ok then remove feed piston and replace two orings. If the feed piston spring is broken replace with correct part. Make sure that the ports that direct air to feed piston are not blocked with bits of rubber or dirt. Sometimes parts of the bumper will break off and spread thru-out the gun. Good Luck and enjoy. (parts not expensive)

SOURCE: nailer drives one nail but driver pin doesn,t

Remove the air hose and open the nailer head section. Look for a foreign object in this are that could be jamming the drive pin. Also, make sure you are using the right size nails.

SOURCE: pulling the trigger, air is released but nailer is not engaged

Try putting a few drops of light machine oil in the air inlet fitting. If this solves the problem, install an inline air lubricator.

SOURCE: Paslode 16G finish nailer fires intermittently.

Clean it and oil it according to directions, then put a dab of dielectric grease on top of the spark plug. If this does not work ...Change the spark plug. I found one spark plug that had broken in half and made good contact intermittently which caused the problem you describe

Campbell Hausfeld air gun has air coming from the nose tip and no nails

If air is coming out from the nose tip but the nailer is not firing any nails, it could indicate a problem with the driver blade or piston assembly. Check if the driver blade moves freely and is not damaged. Make sure the piston assembly is properly aligned and lubricated. Also, check the nail magazine to ensure that it is properly loaded and the nails are the correct size for the nailer. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to take the nailer to a professional for repair.

My roofing coil nail gun will shoot a nail and the driver will stay down

There should be a spring to return the driver. The mechanism needs oiling with pneumatic tool oil before every use. If it's not been oiled, it will stick.

Hear air and feel air comming out where nails come out

Try oiling the nailer. Just put a few drops of air tool oil where the air hose connects and let it set for a little bit so the oil can`t run out and try it. Sounds like it is just running dry.

How do I load the 2 1/2 inches nails to my 16 ga porter cable finish nailer? How do I put the oil and what part of the gun?

Hello,

You need to open the nail magazine and you just load one strip of nails at a time, then close the magazine. It will have a spring putting pressure on the nails, so it will have resistance on it and it will increase as you close it.

The oil gets dripped in the air hose connection on the gun before you connect the air. Make sure that this gun actually takes oil, some newer guns are oilless.

Hope this helps,Matt

Nail gun doesn't shoot and air blowing out vent constant.

We used nail guns for years. I still own 6 guns, but they aren't used much anymore.
You have a 'blown head gasket.'
Or there is debris from the air hose that got lodged into the gun.
There is a head gasket and a trigger gasket.
Both can blow out any time from use, lack of oil, or they can stick open from debris.
You can take apart the head and clean it up and add oil to see if that solves problem.
You can order a gun re-build kit for your model and put in the parts yourself.
You can have a nail gun repair shop do the job.

Nail guns require gun oil.
If you don't use gun for a while, oil should be put into air hose opening and then left to run down into gun. More oil is better.
If you use 3-in-1 oil or some oil besides gun oil, then it will corrode the gaskets.
When storing air hose and guns, put tape over openings so they stay clean.
Before hooking air hose to a gun, you can also put a blower on hose and blow out the line first

Hello My PC 18ga brad nailer its piston wont retr...

Check the regulator gauge on your air compressor to make sure you have enough air pressure going to your nailer. After replacing my nailer because the driver wouldn't retract, I discovered, when the replacement nailer had the same problem, that I had somehow turned the regulator and decreased the pressure. Now I have two fully operational nailers.
