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?

    what Alex said, but if time is a factor, after you remove the 3 allen bolts from the nose plate, grip it (two parts) with two fingers, lift it about 1/4 inch at the bottom and the nail will fall out then put it back down....if you take it off any further, then you'll have to waste 5-20 minutes (depending on your skill, mine? pretty bad) with re-assembling the mechanism...and if the sun is setting, we all know how precious that last few minutes are of daylight are.

    I tried this and it didn't work. The plates came out and something that must have something to do with the trigger. I got the nail/brad out but can't figure out how to put it back. There is an awkward shaped piece that I can't figure how/where it goes back.

SOURCE: Porter Cable nail gun

I had this same problem. The factory repair store sold me a Driver maintence kit. it worked but I didn't need the actual driver as mine was not that worn. I only really needed the O-rings from the kit and grease applied to them to getting working again. It was a pretty easy fix. I think the air is slipping around the O-ring so it cannot pull back the driver piston. I probably didn't keep as well oiled as I should have.

SOURCE: Senco SN4 misfiring intermittently

This is a discontinued tool by Senco but there are still parts available for it. It sound to me that the o rings and possibly the firing valve need to be replaced. I would recommend going to Senco.com and you will find a complete parts diagram in their discontinued tool section. They also have a toll free number if needed and you can talk to their air pro. I have rebuilt quite a few of these and they are not that hard just make sure to clean all the parts and use lube when replacing O rings.

SOURCE: Air leaks arond trigger when depressed, but no nail fires.

Where does the air leak out from? If it leaks from the trigger DeWalt makes a trigger valve assembly part # 641006-00 list 8.89 BUT if it leaks from other areas we have to look into it deeper. If it is just the trigger valve let me know and I will give you instructions how to remove and install the new one.

SOURCE: Bostitch nail gun loss of pressure, won't fire nail

Hello. I can help you. The nail gun you have uses 18 gauge brads. I would use only original Bostitch 18 gauge.

The one MM of difference you mention is the reason why you do not have the pressure you did have. Get rid of those 31MM brads and get the 18 gauge. Home Depot carries the Bostitch line. I would go there or to homedepot.com

Porter Cable Brad Nailer - Firing without pressure

The nose tip is most likely stuck in the ready to fire position from too much force being applied when nailing. These guns are small and sensitive to forces being applied. Try bumping it to see if the nose tip is retracting and compressing with each bump. Unplug and unload the gun before trying to pull the tip of the nose to retract if it is stuck. Check for foreign objects obstructing the trigger and safety mechanism

I have a porter cable bn200sb braid nailer. It is cycling but not firing nails

This happens when the driver is not returning to top of the cylinder. Remove the driver and make sure that it is not slightly bent or not lubed enough and sticking to the cylinder. Also check the driver piston seal ring is not too loose. The driver should move easily within the cylinder but not so loose that it just drops to the bottom of the cylinder. Good luck with your repair.

When I pull trigger on my porter cable air gun bn200sb just air sound is made no compression click no pressure on trigger just air sound

This usually occurs when the head valve is worn, cracked or just needs lubrication. If the valve looks ok, then lube with white grease and test. If still no joy, make sure that the trigger firing pin is being pushed all the way in when attempting to fire. Make adjustment to safety foot. Good luck with the repair.

Nailer wont advance the nails then it shoots blank

Try ez test to check for proper operation. Remove nails and air supply, point nose of gun up then down again. The driver should not move from the top of cylinder position. If driver is moving up then down replace the driver oring. If driver oring seems ok then connect air supply and bump fire the nailer without nails against soft wood and door open so that you can see the driver and feeder moving. Bump fire the gun and make sure that the driver is moving all the way back up to top of cylinder and the feeder is moving rapidly back and forward. If movement seems ok then hold the nose down on soft wood and depress and hold the trigger. This will fire the gun but driver will stay at the bottom position and not return until you release the trigger or lift the gun. When holding the gun with the driver down position, no air should leak out the top or bottom of the gun. If air leaks out bottom, replace lower bumper, if air leaks out the top replace the upper bumper. Good luck

Can My FC 350 A used 28 degree nails

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.

My new porter cable RN175B nail gun won't discharge a nail

If the trigger is set to single fire, you will need to place the gun against the work then pull trigger as you have done. Try setting the trigger to bump fire and try again. If hear a thump inside the gun, remove the head and check that the head valve in not stuck from lack of lubrication. Easy test, remove the nails, remove trigger pin, remove trigger and manually push trigger firing valve. If the gun fires then suspect faulty trigger or safety arm not lifting enought to activate the trigger valve. Good luck

Miss fires and wont sink nails depth set deep and pressure over 120 psi

If no air is leaking from gun, miss-fire is usually caused by worn or too tight piston oring or lack of lubrication. Easy test. Disconnect airline, remove nails, point nose of gun up then down. Driver should stay in uppermost position. If driver moves up then down within gun replace piston oring and retest. Set pressure to about 100psi. Good luck with repair.

My RN 175 roofing nailer (porter cable) fires like a machine gun. I cleaned the trigger valve assembly and replaced the o-ring at top of the asembly. Still fires in high repetition.

With most nailers there is a safety device that has to be depressed as you press the gun against the work that is being nailed. This safety device might be damaged or jammed in the firing position allowing the gun to act like an automatic.

Wiil a 22 degree Paorter Cable FR350A Round Head

No... it will fire 21-degree nails and perhaps 23-degree nails (but sont think they exist) and it is a full-head framing nailer so it is designed for firing round head nails. Using clipped nails will likely jam the nailer as these nails are stripped closer together with overlapping heads in the nail strip and the FR350A has a full round driver so you will run into issues with clipped nails. If you are having problems finding full round head nails, you can find them on Amazon to fit this nailer. Otherwise any good tool or trade tool store that sells nailers will likely have a suitable nail supply available for the FR350A.

Bn125 brad nailer is jammed

I've had to remove the plate over the "firing pin" a couple of times (the allen wrenches come with the gun) to release it. Mine was caused by a bent pin, that happened when I hit the hose and knocked it off the bench.

When I finally replaced it (CPO/Porter Cable), it's been fine ever since.
