Can't get my nail gun and air compressor to work
I ecently purchased a RONA air compressor and nailer for some trim
jobs at home. I've run through all the instructions and completed the 15 min setup, filled the nailer, adjusted the pressure and nothing - the gun won't fire. There doesn't appear to be a safety on the nailer and I've checked the manual multiple times. The connections seem to be OK but it seems like there's no pressure coming through the hose but I can't be sure. I've never used a compressor at home, only in a workshop so I'm new to this. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong? thanks in advance. Kathy |

Kathy with the compressor on , and the gun attached , press the nose of the gun against a scrap piece of lumber and pull the trigger. Does the gun cycle ? does the compressor cycle on /off and does the pressure guage show pressure. have you set the delivery pressure ? My compressor has a guage that shows the tank pressure and a marking on the adjusting dial to show the delivery pressure. |

Kathy Nail guns won't fire unless the nose piece is placed on the work and FULLY depressed and then the trigger is depressed. That is the single fire mode. In the automatic mode the trigger is held down and the gun fires by depressing the nose piece against the work and it fires when fully depressed. Check which mode your tool is set for and try it again...I'll bet it works now, right? HTH Joe |
