1. Have you adjusted the air pressure to at least 100 PSI?
2. Have you cleaned and lubricated the gun per manufacturer's instructions?
3. Are you driving nails into hard wood (oak, walnut, etc.)? Some guns are simply not powerful enough to handle extremely hard woods.
SOURCE: Need to know the brand of nails that work with this nailer
brand does'nt matter its the lenght and more inportant is the gauge if its shooting two nails than you are most likely using the wrong gauge example of gauges:16mm 18 mm ect. look on gun it should specify which gauge to use
SOURCE: Hitachi nailer does not sink nails completely, no
You must have broken tip or out of adjustment. Easy to check. Remove nails, and push safety against scrap air hose or rubber to absorb blow and squeeze trigger. Piston will stay in the down position until your release safety (on some models you will need to pull back on feeder sligtly). While piston is down examine the end of the driver for nice squared off tip protruding about 1/4 inch beyond nose. If no tip or looks broken, replace driver. If tip looks complete, adjust for more depth. Good luck

SOURCE: need metal slide for nt50ae2, plastic nail slide is allways jamming
I don't believe there is a metal substitute for the stock part. I did not see one on the parts diagram and it is unusual for something like that to be offered as an option. BUT if the tool is jamming I suspect it is not due to the pusher. Make sure you are using the correct gauge (18 for this tool) nails first of all. Make sure you air pressure is adequate. Somewhere around 90psi would be the minimum. If too low of pressure is used it will not allow the driver to retract far enough to advance the next nail. If the tool is not leaking air anywhere then the last thing to check is to make sure the driver isn't bent. That can also lead to jams.
SOURCE: My nt50ae2 brad nailer jams in the magazine. the feeder rides on top of the nails.
This happens. The follower jumps over the nails and the magazine binds.
Step 1. Remove nails, unplug hose.
Step 2. Remove the bolt at the bottom of the magazine with a 2.5mm hex key.
Step 3. Remove the magazine while holding the nail follower in place to the magazine cover.
Step 4. Carefully remove the nail follower and gently extend the yellow warning indicator and follower spring.
Step 6. Inspect the nail follower. There should be 3 indentations that are stamped into nail follower face. This is the culprit.
Step 7. With a small punch, make these three indentations deeper.
Step 8. Assemble and test. Repeat if necessary.
Hope this helps.
