Helly Gary..
It is probably going to be in your safety switch where the nails come out. The lever that pushes up when you press the gun on the wood. It should have come with a new one when you purchased it mine did. If not then you may pull the front off off it where the nails come out and make sure there isn't something jammed up in there like a nail or wood. I had to tighten a screw in the front of the gun too. Being 2 years old, it may just be worn out. pending on how much you use it, But check the safety on it first.

Stuart - this sounds like an air problem - you should perform the following test. With the air nailer close to the compressor you must monitor the airpressure after the gun fires. it sounds like the air is not gettting through diapram fast enough or there is a blockage in line. Blockage in line is not suspected for the following reason . It sounds like the air hose is holding enough air to fire 2-4 nails and then you must wait for the line to fill up again and then it fires ok. The pressure regulator out to the line controls this and they do fail. try this test and report back to me - I know I can solve this for you as I have extensive background in compressor and the like.

i found this happening to me and i oiled (light oil like 3 in 1) the driver (hammer) in the tip. that way it could retract and drive the next brad.

If you're rapid-firing, this will happen. You need to let the air chamber fully refill before shooting again.If your gun says "maximum 120 psi" then set your air at 120#. If you have a slow compressor, get one made for the job, or be satisfied with carrying a hammer. You need quicker recovery, or your gun needs servicing/cleaning by a Paslode mechanic.

Try a different gas cartridge and make sure the top of the cartridge is snapped tightly onto the cartridge body.
