5. Nailer fails to drive fasteners.
•
Driving pin does not fully return to rest position.
•
Squirt a little light oil (WD40 /sewing

•
Check the mains air supply /compressor.
•
Machine is dry, insufficient lubrication.
•
Apply lubricating oil for pneumatic tools.
•
Worn O-rings in head valve.
•
Replace Orings.
•
Broken cylinder spring.
•
Replace cylinder spring.
•
Head valve stuck in head.
•
Disassemble/Check/Lubricate.
7. Lack of driving power.
•

•
Apply lubricating oil for pneumatic tools.
•
Broken spring in cylinder head.
•
Replace head spring.
•
