Could be lack of lubricant or safety foot not pushing trigger valve pin all the way in. Easy to check. Remove nails and remove trigger to expose the trigger valve firing pin. Connect air and with very quick action depress the firing pin all the way in with finger. If gun fires adjust safety so it pushes on trigger pin completely. If no fire, remove head and head valve and apply plenty of white grease or silicone paste to orings and reassemble for retest. Good luck
I presume the gun fires but no nail is ejected. A possibility is jammed nails in the magazine. Do you see a mark in your work piece of the driver blade? If yes then it is most likely jammed nails. If not could be a broken driver blade. If gun does not fire could be gas problem. (check in date, yes it does have a use by date), another cause of not firing is a broken wire particularly around trigger switch (switch is on trigger and hence the wires are flexing every time trigger is pressed). Another cause of not firing is a brass spring clip in handle assy if this breaks it stops the gun firing. Recently I have had more broken wires than anything else on these guns. Worth noting is that the Stanley Bostitch nail guns suffer the very same faults. Also note they are the same gun just different colours so you can fit Hitachi parts to the Bostitch and they are cheaper.
Hello, sounds like a nail is jammed in the chamber. Happens frequently. What you do first is disconnect the gun and empty any nails. Then, with a screwdriver or a big nail hit the ram driver back down . Reconnect and test by depressing safety latch and pulling trigger. Repeat. Hope this helps. -ROB
Professional-grade varieties are automatic, and fire a nail directly upon pulling the trigger. A semi-automatic nail gun is more appropriate for beginners, since it requires a two step process: pull the trigger and then tap the barrel against the wood. This safety feature protects the user from accidentally firing a nail gun and injuring himself or others.
