2. Not enough air pressure.
3. Incorrect lubrication or
not enough lubrication.
4. Blocked air inlet screen
(if equipped).
5. Mechanism contaminated.
1. Adjust depth setting, if available.
2. Check for loose connections and make sure that
air supply is providing enough air pressure (PSI) to the
tool’s air inlet. Do not exceed maximum air pressure.

jamming.
Incorrect nail type. Confirm nail collation type, diameter, angle,
type, and length. Correct as needed.
Severe air
leakage.
(Slight air leakage
is normal,
especially on
older tools.)
1. Cross-threaded housing
components.
2. Loose housing.
3. Damaged valve or housing.
4. Dirty, worn or damaged valve.
1. Check for incorrect alignment and uneven gaps.
If cross-threaded, disassemble and
replace damaged parts before use.
2. Tighten housing assembly. If housing cannot tighten
