How do you clean the cylinder of an paslode im250?

You can use most gases in your gun, but paslode is the best that's why its more expensive. Try warming the gases in your pocket that sometimes helps.

With the old IM250 (900400) you remove the lower probe, open the nose release, the upper probe will turn slightly and come out.
With the newer models you have to disassemble the tool and separate the handle halves to remove the probe.

There should be a depth adjustment on the gun. This allows you to control how deep the nails sink. The adjustment is usually on front face of gun and just above the tip. You might want to contact paslode to see if they can give you any ideas .

Ok the best way to do this is to follow this link.http://www.paslode.com/cleaning-procedures.html

The Paslode gas powered tools need to be thoroughly disassembled, cleaned, and lubed periodically. If you are running the correct gauge nails (16 gauge, straight finish nails for the IM250 and angled for the IM250A) and the tool appears to be working correctly then this is probably what it needs. I do quite a few of them here at my shop and it is the most common problem.

Locate the part number online by searching for the tool's model number "parts list" Once you have that information you can visit you local Fastenal and they can order it for you. Paslode will not sell directly to the public on spare parts. They will point you in the direction of a service center. I only know of two: Fastenal and Fasteners Inc.

The driving pin could be bent... likely problem is dirty cylinder or bad rings on the drive piston. try a good cleaning before taking it into service.
