I have the paslode 900420. I have to push the safety down 3 to 4 times before it will shoot. I just cleaned it and got new fuel cells. What do I do to remedy this problem?

It needs to be cleaned and oiled. You can buy an electrical cleaner spray and oil specific for paslodes at Home Depot. You will have to take the back off (where the filter is) and clean it with the cleaning spray then oil it well. Put it back together and it will work like new again. You will be surprised how much difference it will make. Good luck

no they don't, where do you get the spark from?? you can test this tool with the cylinder off by depressing the roller lever and holding the switch in the on position. If there is fire across the gap it should work and then I would look to make sure the safety is fully depressing. If this is the one with o rings you might want to check them for wear. Also look at the expiration date on the fuel cell, it is on the bottom and if expired could cause a problem.

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about the Paslode nailers and the problems that can come up with them.

I also have a link to the Paslode manuals which contain Paslode cleaning and troubleshooting guides.

If you need parts for your Paslode, there also is a link for a site that sells the Paslode nailer parts.

I had the same problem... even after cleaning it and replacing the spark plug. ...Only solution was to send it to a service center for repair.

Check Paslode.com for the closest service center to you.

strip it down again and put the battery in and whilst holding the nipple down pull the trigger (just mind your fingers as the fan will start) and as you squeeze the trigger see if sparks each time

Make sure you have a fuel cell that is in date and also activated. To activate it you must press the balck cap down tight onto the fuel cell.

have you activated the fuel cell by pressing the black nozzle down onto the cylinder?

Also try and check whether or not the slide where you insert the nails that you push the button down that way it is pushing the nails forward

when you say cleaned did you replace the o rings? and lubricate them. on the framing nailer there are 2 push rods in the area where the fan is, are they in place and move freely, they push the door up where the fuel cell is to load fresh fuel, check these and the stem that is in the head is it in correctly with the open portion facing up? Check the expiration date on the fuel cell it is on the bottom, an out of date cell will give you fits also. When you depress the safety to fire and release it after the nail does it move freely or hang up. These are all thoughts that you might look for. Check them out and if you still have trouble give me the exact model number and other symptoms.
