Either the piston needs lubricating, or the spring that returns it is broken. Most pneumatic tools do require "pneumatic oil" run into the air line before use.

SOURCE: Senco narrow crown Stapler Piston will not go back

There is a spring and piston in the back cap of the nailer, this must be free moving and not sticking. If it is sticking it will cause the problem you discribed. If that looks ok you probably should install an o-ring kit and that should solve the problem. A Senco service center will carry the proper parts.

SOURCE: paslode impulse cordless nail gun,doesn't pull the

This is an easy fix luckily usually it means that the chamber is dirty and all you have to do is open the top front of the gun so that you can see the piston then take a q-tip and clean the area really well sometimes it requires a degreaser and then when you think that you have it clean make sure to lubricate the chamber really well with the paslode lubricant that came with the gun or they sell it right next to where you get the nails. Then the gun should work fine with no problem if this does not work then this means that the piston might be bent and that could turn into a big problem but is still fixable just harder.

Hope that this works for you

Testimonial: "Thanks very much for your help,I took the piston out and sprayed it all out with solvent and relubed everything and it seems to work fine."

Why doesn't my Arrow fire any staples any more? It's not jammed. The piston doesn't seem to raise high enough to get over the next staple in line. Is it worn out?

Might be could also be that you have the wrong staples in it. Arrow makes about 15 different staple guns. The reason for that is so they can sell you the right for your use staple gun. This also means that certain staples only work for certain guns. Check the model then check arrow web site and find the compatable staples for that gun. Hope this helps

F28WW-fire gun. piston doesn't retract back, trigger is good gun is clean & oiled what could be the problem. nailer year old

Check band # 175520 (black rubber band around the outside of the cylinder) is what causes the piston to retract. If the check band is in place, then problem could be caused by cracked lower bumper, worn piston oring or cylinder seal on the headvalve. IF the cylinder seal is bad, air will leak between seal and the top of the cylinder and could push piston down cylinder. If piston oring is too loose, the piston will not stay at the top of the cylinder. If you point the nose of the gun up then down again and the driver moves within the cylinder, replace the oring. Good luck

I have rebuilt my staple gun all new seals new piston and driver blade new bumper cushen when gun shoots the blade wont retract up all the way you have to open the staple mag. fire the gun then the blade...

Inside the cap, there's a plastic circular insert. It's a common mistake to reassemble the gun with this cap spacer upside down, resulting in the top of the cylinder not sealing in the air that returns the piston. Simply undo the cap, turn the spacer over and screw it back on again. Done.

I have a Bostitch BT200 that is dry firing. It seems that the "hammer" is not retracting after it fires a nail. I have to push it back manually and even then it seems to dry fire a few times before a nail...

The check seal is what causes the piston to retract. Remove cylinder and examine check seal. It is a small band that covers a series of holes and should fit snuggly around cylinder. Other factors that have effect on piston retraction are, split/cracked cylinder, bent driver and lack of lubrication. This gun is tricky to rebuild. Make shure that all the parts in the head are placed correctly. The kit does contain all the parts that you need. Good luck
