I got this Porter Cable FC 350A framing nailer and the add said it handle 28 degree nails. However when I load them in the nailer it shoot one nail then it jams.
The manual for your gun specifies 34-degree nails from 2 to 3 1/2 inches long. 28-degree, wire collated nails are a Stanley-Bostitch thing and they only work in their nail guns, they will not work in your nail gun. You need 34-degree, paper-tape collated nails. I know Senco framing nails will work in your gun and I think Duo-fast makes 34-drgree nails but check that before buying them.

Remove the head, take out the blade and make sure its not bent or the tip broke off. Also while out insert the blade into the nose and see if there is any foreign object blocking the blade travel.

your head cap actuator is sticking. since machine sat in a store Porter cable head caps have a tendency to stick due to the head self-corroding inside. They have had this problem for years and never addressed it. After you look at parts schematic and understand where certain parts go,Take head off and remove white plastic actuator in head. Remove orings and wipe them with a rag. wipe the grooves with a rag to remove any build up. If head it corroded spray head with liquid wrench, not WD 40. and let sit overnight reinstall orings and use petroleum jelly or a thin grease to lubricate orings and reinstall actuator in head. Reassemble. Use pnuematic oil on a daily basis.

If youve never done anything to it could be a couple things. Have you kept it oiled (about 6-8 drops) before using and again at lunch if construction type work. Check the nails to make sure they move freely in the magazine Check the nail guage for proper size. and what I would do is fire it till it skips disconnect the air from tool and open the front door (for removing jams) and see the driver position. If it is partially down that would be the problem, check the driver for being bent. Lastly remove all nails and just tap the nose on a piece of wood and again check the driver position, if it moves or falls freely then the tool would have to have new rubber which might be a good idea anyway. Get back to me with the model number and I will research and see if they make an o ring kit.
