Gun is not firing

There are a few things that could cause the driver to fail, to retract. Which tool are you using? I’ll need that info in order to give you the best instructions.

In the meantime, I have a few recommendations for what you can check:

1) Air Pressure. If the air pressure on the tool is too low, the driver blade won’t be able to retract. Has something changed with your setup?

2) Debris. With the tool disconnected from the air, remove the front nose plate (where the nails shoot from) by either lifting the lever and removing it (if you have a B17P.763 or 17P.32 Omer nailer), or removing the two screws at the front that hold it on if you have a pinner or brad nailer. Check the area that the driver blade moves up and down in, to see if there is any debris jamming it.

I can give you more specific advice if you tell me which tool you have. If you would rather not mess with your tool, you can ship it to us and I will fix it for you. We’ll charge for the parts and $10.50 per half-hour of labor. Something like this shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes.

Thanks for reaching out and for letting us know about the issue you’re experiencing. From your description, it sounds like the nail gun may have a worn or damaged O-ring/seal, or there might be a blockage preventing the driver blade from cycling correctly.

Here are a few steps you can try before sending it in:

Disconnect the air supply and make sure there are no nails loaded.

Inspect the nosepiece for any jammed nails or debris. Clear if necessary.

Check the O-rings and seals (especially around the trigger and driver area) for wear or damage. Lubricate with pneumatic tool oil if they are dry.

Test the air pressure — ensure it’s within the recommended PSI range for your model. Too low or too high can cause misfires.

If these steps don’t solve the issue, the tool may require professional servicing. You can send it to us, and our repair team will inspect and fix it. Please reply to this email, and we’ll provide you with shipping instructions and service details.

We’re here to make sure your nail gun gets back to work as quickly as possible.
