Paslode battery wont hold charge.brought new battery, same thing.brought new charger, same thing. put battery in gun, fan runs and then the battery is flat again.

Sounds like either the battery is bad, or since one is new its possible the contacts in the gun are not making proper contact. Are you sure your charger is working as well ? If you have a volt meter check that the battery does have a charge on it.

When it stops firing is the little light on the side of the handle green or red? If it is red then the battery is draining down too quickly. Either the fan switch has malfunctioned causing the fan to run all the time (I have seen this before) or you got either a faulty battery or charger.

The battery is gone for sure... You must get new one... take a look on amazon (my recommendation): Amazon com nailers paslode battery

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

Any time these guns become intermittent or stop firing but the fan still runs, the first the to check is the expiration date on the gas cartridges. The do expire and this will make the gun work inconsistently or not at all.

Hi,
Probably needs cleaning. You`ll need two new o`rings.

try a new battery m8 when they have been used fir a while they wear out at the catch and when u fire the nail gun the battery works its way out enuf to stop it making a good contact. Hope this helps.

My paselode was doing the same thing, and I followed all of the cleaning instructions, but the problem continued.

If it was left alone for a minute, it would fire again, so I removed the cover over the trigger assy, and checked the spark plug wire connection. The trigger came out, and during reassembly, I noticed that the electrical switch was hanging, and slowly pushing back out.

I cleaned and lightly spray/oiled the switch pin, and voila.........works like a charm.

If the battery is flashing red, the battery is not charged or on a minimal charge.
Have you attempted to recharge it and does it still give you this symptom?

Make sure that the battery is pushed in all the way in. Sometimes the battery will not make contact and the fan will not turn on. I have had to put a piece of tape over the battery to make it work. Or see if you can bend out the connectors in the gun.
