Paslode (30 degrees) framing gun firing pin not retracting

you might have to clean the firing pin, it may be covered with powder residue..

May need a new firing valve or safety foot is sticking. Easy to check, Remove air supply, nails and remove the trigger to expose the firing pin. Connect air and place the nose of the gun against thick rubber or coiled air hose. Depress trigger and let go. Gun should fire and trigger pin will return to original position. If piston still does not retract then problem is with trigger valve and most likely the rest of the orings within the gun will need replacing. Not expensive. Remove the air supply and look closely at the firing pin, if it moves quite a bit from side to side and looks worn time to replace. If it look to be in good condition, then orings within trigger valve may be swollen and will not allow the trigger to function. You can remove the valve by removing the 3mm roll pins above the valve and applying air pressure to pop out the valve. Use heavy glove to catch the valve because it could come out with force (reduce air pressure to gun if possible). If gun works ok examine safety foot mech for problem. Use silicone paste lube on orings. good luck

One or more of the rubber o-rings inside the gun are worn or broken. Air is leaking out of where it needs to go to push the driver back up. This is a good gun and worth rebuilding. Unfortunately Hitachi doesn't make rebuild kits for their guns, you have to have a breakdown and order each part you need seperately. If you do this, replace all of the o-rings, if one went bad the others are not far behind. If you take it to a repair shop make sure they repalce all the o-rings.

is the cylinder really dirty, if so it needs a thorough cleaning. your instruction mnual detailes how to do this. also look for a jammed nail in the nose area and possibly a bent driver.

Paslode framer has a lever inside of trigger that may be bent or missing. Easy to check. Remove air line and nails. Remove trigger by pulling pin. Check under trigger for missing parts. Test gun by connecting to air and place nose of gun against wood or hard rubber and then depress firing pin. If gun fires then problem is with lever under trigger or safety mechanism which is in two parts. Check safety for bent or broken piece, usually upper part will be missing lip that actually pushes on the lever. If however gun does not fire when firing pin is depressed, time for replacing orings in gun. Parts are available at www.toolpartsdirect.com . Good luck with your repair and post again if you have other questions.

please go to paslode.com and take a look at the gun's schematic. you have one of two possible problems. check the compression on the pin's piston( it should have 2 metal rings) put the piston at the top of the chamber and let it go , if it drops by itself you may need new metal rings. the other fix is to replace your reed valve( it kinda looks like a comb with four fat teeth) sitting right under your muffler

there is no pendulum inside these guns it should work no matter what angle or upside down you are shooting it. If it is not retracting the piston trying cleaning the area and then lubricating really well that should do it if not repost and tell what that does.

Hope it helps you

sounds like the trigger m8 the only way to cure it is to replace the molded circuit assembly 900475. but try cleaning the trigger switch and make sure the spring is seated properly. hope this helps m8

Check the anvil guide for damage first (ie: burrs, nicks, etc.) Then go to the chamber for the return spring. That is where your problems are.

Yes,this is a common "mis fire" by Pasilode. I own the 16p Framer and the Angle nailer and I never get it from the Framer but I do get it seldom from Trim Gun,nothing you can do ,its just a misfire.
