SOURCE: Dewalt 51488. Air leaks around trigger and won't fire nail.

Go to Dewaltservicenet.com and download a breakdown of the tool before starting. I would recoment changing all the O rings and make sure that you get a good grease to lube them first. Its not that hard.

SOURCE: Arrow ET200 nail gun only put nails in 1/8 of inch.

I solved the problem. I took the nailer outside and plugged it into the outlet on my electrical post. It worked perfectly. I was not getting enough power from the outlet I was using in the house.

SOURCE: nail gun wont fire

First - the air pressure has to be high enough - check the regulator on the tank to make sure it is delivering in excess of 60-70 psi (which I am sure you have already done).

If you have dry fired these guns (i.e. shot them off with no nails in them while you were lubricating them maybe) the mechanism inside could be damaged. I had that happen to one of my nailers (same brand). That was when I learned not to dry fire them...

Since both of them are not working though I would be more inclined to look at the air supply first.

I have the dewalt 18 volt nail gun. The slide hammer sticks in the out position after driving a nail. Can anyone help give me answers why?

Firrst clean and lubricate slide portion that drives nail in. Dirt will cause this sometimes. If problem persists you may have a bent driver and may have to be replaced. If you can remove front guide, check for burs or gouges on metal.

Dewalt corless nailer lost power while puting nails in wood, he is working but does not have power to go all the way in the wood

Have you been keeping the gun properly lubricated? In the high dust atmosphere of the workplace it needs cleaned & lubed frequently.

Dewalt framing nail gun The hammer stopped re-cioling any ideas?

On pneumatic nailers, this is usually a sign of worn or broken o-rings inside the gun. If the driver isn't retracting it's usually caused by the o-rings on the lower half of the cylinder or the piston ring.

I have a d51822 framing nailer that will shoot a nail but then not recoil to shoot the next nail, if you wait 10-20 seconds the gun will release air at the top of the gun and recoil

Most likely there is a problem with swollen orings between the cylinder and cylinder spacer (white plastic piece between cylinder and body ). Order the oring kit because nost likely when you take the gun apart the orings will fall apart. Dewalt used vinyl orings instead of viton on critical areas of the cylinder and these vinyl orings failed.

Gun will not set nail all the way

this indicate insufficient air pressure, increase slightly air pressure till you obtain desire depth of penetration of the nail. that i smost common cause

you may have some problems with piston movement, but this will as well very sharply recoil, you did not mention re-coil, therefore insufficient air pressure is correct assessment.

if you find my answer helpful, do not hesitate to vote, thanx!

8 penny nails are stuck in gun. How do you get them out?

If the nails are stuck in the rails, remove the rails and fish them out. If a nail is stuck between the driver and nose of the gun, you will need to forcefully push the driver back into the gun. Remove the head and cylinder and place the body of the gun on piece of plywood with nose pointing up. Using very sturdy steel rod, hammer the driver down. The steel rod needs to be slightly thinner than the driver to allow for the stuck nail. I use a broken driver ground thinner on the side that will need to bypass the stuck nail. Careful when striking hard steel with hammer, could spinter (I use a heavy brass hammer). Good luck

Nail broken off in the gun can not unjam, what is the procedure to remove broken nail?

The easiest and most effective way is to use a hammer and a long flathead screwdriver that you don't mind messing up. Place the nail gun upside down on a flat surface with the nose pointing up. If you have a vise it is advisable to put it in the vise.(Use a piece of rubber or a rag to secure) Use a flashlight to locate the driver inside the nose of the gun. Place the flathead screwdriver at an angle across the driver and use a heavy hammer. Give it a good whack. Do not hit in repeated motions. Hit one good whack and see if the driver moved then set up for another and give it a good whack. You should be able to dislodge the nail head in this way. Caution, be aware of where your hands are at all times. It is not uncommon to hit your hand or cut your hand on the nail gun when trying to do this.

Nail Gun support

Yes, because there is less risk of splitting the wood grain when using a nail gun than when using a hammer, nail guns are especially useful in delicate projects such as the application of indoor trimming. A nail gun sets the nail in one motion, reducing the chance of slips and bumps that can ruin delicate woods. Most models also include a rubber safety nose to protect the wood from friction.
