tip of your piston may be damaged... or the feeder system is not bringing the nail fully into position. You may have to file the rail to correct any damage that a jam may have caused
Removing jambed driver can be very difficult. I use an old hitachi driver with some metal removed at the tip to drive in the jambed piston. I grind the used driver slighty to allow for the jammed nails to pass the driver i am using for ram otherwise the old driver will jam up also. To protect head and cylinder from damage I remove them and set to side. Place body of gun on soft wood and hammer old driver blade with heavy copper or brass hammer. Good luck
Yes, disconnect the air, then disassemble the front part of the gun. this area commonly has jamb issues, nowdays they are quick release, for clearing access.
Hi The piston is either jambed or bent . Remove the head assembly with a couple of allen screws (i believe they are allen) clean all parts thoroughly and oil. Reassemble and you should be good as new . If bent replace piston. I hope this helped
could be you have a piece of a nail stuck in the nose assembly, the driver is worn and make sure that you are using the right nails. Let me know what you find.
Check to see if a nail is jambed part way in the chamber outlet, make sure to take air hose off before checking. You also may want to add some air gun oil to the inlet if you havnt done it in a while
Remove any nails in the magazine, and you can carefully take a pin pinch of a size that fits into the nose (where the nails come out). Try to carefully tap the driver back into the gun.This will sometimes clear the jambed nail. If the driver is severely jambed you will have to dismantle the entire unit to separate the driver from the nose of the nailer.
I have both the DC616 and 618 and have used them sucessfully for about three years. Two main things go wrong. There is a drive belt that breaks (drives the spool that give the energy to drive in the nails), second are two small rubber bands on either side of the drive head that break. The bands can be accessed by taking off the front silver cover, the drive belt is access by spliting the case. Make sure you are using the correct nails or the drive pin may become bent and will jamb repeatedly. Hope that helps!
