1) Check to see if the drive belt is intact
2) Check and make sure the driver blade is not bent
3) Make sure return device is properly clipped down so the driver can fully retract
If you don't have success, please let me know more details of what the tool is doing and I will try to talk you through it.
Per your addendum I would have first told you to check that you are using the proper guage nails. Second you should make sure you are loading the nails in the lowest channel in the magazine so they are at the bottom of the magazine. If you load them into the top of the magazine they have more time to go off course before they get into the wood.
sometimes the ram breaks off in the center and it's pushed down but has to be pushed up to fire the second time. see if the ram will pull out it should not. be careful unload the gun first. or the return spring has malfunctioned.
try to regrind the driver blade, there should be a small nick on the driver blade where the nails are fed in, if the driver is to fat it will catch 2 nails,and cause nail jambs.
(fn) stands for finish nail,,, and there are different types of those,, this hitachi will use 15 guage, angle finish nails,, do not attempt to put 16 gauage strait or 16 guage angle nails in this gun,
The dial on the top of the gun is most likely the depth adjustment for the nails, this should solve the driver damaging the work piece. Make sure the nails are the correct guage for the nailer you have.
If the piston/driver is broken, the gun will fire however nailing will not take place because the piston will jam in the cylinder. Sometimes the cylinder will also crack when the driver goes. If the piston is not broken but stays down, then check the cylinder check valve, worn lower bumper, bent driver or cracked cylinder. 18 guage nailer has a very thin driver which will easily bend or break. Parts however are not expensive.
