The big, dial-like adjustment on the back of the tool just allows you to control the direction of the blast of oily air that comes out when you fire the thing.

The depth adjustment you're looking for is a smaller wheel, the top of which is exposed near the front of the tool, on top of the barrel (so to speak).

You can confirm that you're turning it in the right direction to drive brads deeper by seeing the metal end (where the brads come out) move closer to the plastic guard (that you press against the work). Less deep is, of course, the other way.

Look on the front of the tool.there is a dial right where the plastic meets the yellow housing.also look closely and you should see a diagram on the plastic telling you whitch way to go.

Stapler losing air around trigger is this a o ring problem?

The problem is most likely the trigger valve. P/N FA205BA1 any Bostitch dealer should be able to get it for you. Its a complete cartridge that slids into the gun frame, unfortunatly you can't just change the o-rings.

When I pull trigger air is escaping around the trigger and nailer will not engage

you need a new trigger valve assembly, there is an o ring that has split. Contact Bostitch for a replacement part.

Not shooting

Trigger Valve needs replacing. Part Number is FA205BA1. The valve comes with instructions, its a pretty easy fix. Any BBostitch dealer should be able to get you one.

The gun will fire staples, nails do not set.

Shoots staples fine but brads jam or bend. Check that the part called "guide bar", #35 on the parts diagram isn't getting stuck in the channel of part #30.

The guide bar retracts into the channel when driving a staple and springs out of the channel to guide brads.

The guide bar can get stuck in the channel if it's bent or gummed up. (Bent is likely the result of driving a brad into an obstruction.)

The business end should look like this:

My Bostitch SB 2in1 nailer will only on occation nail all the way into the wood. For the most part the nail will bend over before it goes in, which damages the wood. I spend more time tying to pull out...

I ran into this problem many times. Don`t use the Bostitch brand nails. Use the generic or other name brand. You`ll notice the generic one`s heads are just a little bigger and the driver blade won`t run down the side of the nail!
Thanks,
Jeff
