I have a NR90AE . It's been used about 8 hours. It suddenly would not work at all when I pulled the trigger. The compressor seems fine. This is the first air nailer Iv'e owned and know nothing about them.

Over time the orings within the nailer will dry out causing problems. Adding oil thru the air inlet will not get oil to all the orings. If the gun had been in storage, add a few drops of oil into air inlet and spray silicone (or teflon) spray lube into air discharge opening at the top of the gun (it is difficult for oil to get into the head from air inlet). Before you connect the air, remove the nails and make sure that the drive piston is at top of cylinder. You can verify by inserting long metal tool (slightly larger in diameter than nail shaft) into nose of the gun and tapping firmly. This will move the piston up against the headvalve and hopefully reset it and allow oil the lube orings. If the headvalve is stuck, gun will not fire. Make sure that the safety foot is depressing the firing pin at trigger valve all the way in. Retest gun for proper action. If still no joy, remove the head and lube orings with silicone paste lube(silicone past has better sealing action but dries out over time). Good luck

I have a hitachi nr90ae that will not fire. Depress nose and trigger and gets nothing. What's next?

Remove nails and air supply. Firmly depress safety foot against work with trigger depressed and make sure that firing pin is pushed all the way in. If firing pin is being activated by safety foot most likely problem is stuck cylinder or head valve. If the gun has been dropped the cylinder my jam. Remove the head and make sure that the cylinder and or headvalve moves and that the driver is not stuck in place. Good luck

NR90AE Nails jammed how to remove

New user will jam the gun/ nails because gun was most likely not bump fired. Placing the gun then depressing trigger will usually cause double fire in the hands of new user. New user should practice on scrap lumber bump firing at many angles till they get the idea; or give them a training period with a nailer that has a single shot trigger (they may develop bad habits with single shot however).

Looking for a diagram or schematic for a senco fp18

I have a SENCO FinishPro18 that I inherited from my son when he died a year ago. It has worked fine till now. It does not shoot a nail when depressed against a board and I pull the trigger. I don't hear air leaking, but it seems there is little pressure. Having taken apart the head, then the base, it all seems in good shape. I have not taken apart the trigger assembly, as the removal is a total commitment. Thoughts? I could use some help.

My unit has been running great up till now. Just

Check compressor for high current consumption.Check capacitors. Check fan speed.

If fan speed is low compressor will over heat and trip safety circuit in the compressor. If there are independent fans check both of them.
