Anonymous Posted on May 26, 2010

My Makita AT1150A stapler does not shoot any staples. Air comes out around the trigger when pressed but does not do anything else. What do I do to fix this problem?

Check to see if there is any foreign object jamming the striker bar. These units also have a diaphragm that sometimes needs to be replaced. If you do not have an automatic oiler on the line the diaphragm could have cracked allowing air to pass through. The Stapler can not build up the necessary pressure to fire the striker driving in the stapler. Damaged or cracked this will need to be replaced. Not difficult and easy to DIY job. Do NOT hook up to air when doing this service. Dirt and grim can also jam the unit. Clean lightly oil, work the unit and see if it frees up. I typically put a few drops of oil made for pneumatic tools directly into the unit. Each time I pull the pneumatic tools out to use. I do not have an inline oiler. :)
Typically at the Male nipple connection where the brass female connector hooks too. 2-3 drops only!
Hope this helps!

Bostitch oil free finish crown stapler striker won't retract. ( Model sx1838 ) 18 gauge 7 / 32 ( 5.6mm ) crown staples

It's quite possibly under the cap it's the head valve. Does it shoot at all ?
If so hold the trigger after the shot listen for where air is leaking.

Hitachi N5008AC2 air stapler only sets staple 1/8

Check for jammed staple, you have to remove the screws that retain the head of the stapler. If air is leaking then there is a bad seal at the trigger.

What part do I need to remove to make a bostich MIIIFS floor stapler to shoot 2 inch staples

You shouldn't have to do anything to the MIIIFS flooring stapler to shoot 2" staples. It is designed to shoot 1 1/2" to 2" staples right out of the box. If your stapler won't feed 2" staples, check the magazine all the way up to the power head for any foreign material that may hold up your staples.

Not shooting

Trigger Valve needs replacing. Part Number is FA205BA1. The valve comes with instructions, its a pretty easy fix. Any BBostitch dealer should be able to get you one.

Crown Stapler stopped shooting staples

Did you look for a staple jammed in the driver mechanism? If the piston is stuck down, it won't respond to the trigger. Try smacking the top of the stapler onto a wooden bench to see if the force will release the piston. Make sure that you use air-tool oil for lubrication inside the tool. Hope this gets you running!

When pressing the trigger to fire a staple, all I get is an air leak from the area of the trigger.

They all leak a little on firing. Is it a big blast of air or just a hiss? All guns have a 'safety' device that keeps them from firing unless you follow a set pattern. You must push the gun down where you intend to put the staple which releases the safety before you pulll the trigger. You must then release the trigger move the stapler off the piece push it back down again before you can fire another staple. You can get (free) frrom the manufacture a rapid fire shoe and trigger that allows you to hold down the trigger and bounce the stapler along your work shooting merrily away.
