Been there with a dewalt! Are you using a rechargable or pnumatic nailgun? Either way first try oiling the "barrel" (slot where the nail comes down" First flip up the face and put a couple drops on/in it. wipe any excess I have also had trouble with other Dewalt tools, it's not a bad brand really, I had to make a few phone calls and an email but after I reached the right person I recieved a promt appology along with a replacement tool which is preforming perfectly!

MY NAILGUN QUIT FIRING NAILS. I LOADED UP TWICE AND USED NAILS BUT AFTER LOADING THE 3RD SET OF NAILS MY NAILGUN WON'T FIRE THEM INTO WOOD. WHAT I HEAR IS JUST A SMALL AMOUNT OF AIR FROM AROUND THE...

Sounds like you may have a nail jam. You didn't specify what type of nailer you have - most finish guns have a latch to open the nose & clear a jam - if it is a framer most of the time it requires a long punch and a hammer to push the driver back in past the jam to clear it.
Let me know if this does not fix your issue.

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.

Can the carriage on a dewalt dc618 nailgun be adjusted

The only adjustment on nail guns is for the nail drive depth, the magazine is hard mounted to the nose piece. If you are having problems with the nail clips feeding, first make sure the entire feed path is clear of any nails, parts of nails or other foreign things. Then make sure the nails you are using are fully compatable with your nailgun. Your gun needs 16 guage nails set at a 20-degree angle no shorted than 1 1/4" and no longer than 2 1/2" long. Any deviation from those requirements will only give you a headache worse than what you have now.

DC6t16 nailgun I have a nail stuck lengthways in the magazine. This stops loading nails. How can I remove it

The bestthing to do is get you a good screw driver and just sit down and start prying it out of there, will take a minute or 2 but will eventually come out

The pin on my Dewalt dc616 cordless finish nail gun is ceasing up. How can i lubricate it? can i spray silicon into the nose of the gun?

Hello, W/D here.

The better way is to disconnect the air line from the gun, and place several drops of light oil in the gun while holding the trigger down. Oil daily. Then, re-connect the hose, and fire a few nails into scrap wood.
Another trick is to spray your nails with WD-40 before you load them into the gun.
Best regards, --W/D--
