Likely Solutions
1. Open in-line shut-off valve.
2. Disengage Trigger Safety Lock.
1. 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 of 120 PSI.
2. Lubricate using air tool oil and grease according to
directions.
3. Have qualified technician clean and lubricate
mechanism. Install in-line filter in air supply as
stated in Initial Set Up: Air Supply.
Reduce air supply pressure (PSI).
1. Clear jammed fastener according to Clearing Jams
instructions.
2. Fill with correct fasteners.
3. Empty, then fill with correct fasteners.
4. Clean and lubricate magazine and pusher rod.
5. Check for loose connections and make sure that
air supply is providing enough air flow (CFM) and
pressure (PSI) to the tool's air inlet. Do not exceed
maximum air pressure of 120 PSI.
Confirm fastener diameter, type, length, angle, and
collation type. Correct as needed.
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
properly, internal parts may be misaligned.
3. Replace damaged components.
4. Clean or replace valve assembly.
