I am wondering if my arrow nailmaster 2 does not work properly ( the brad do
no go completely into wood sticking out 1/8 inch) because I am using
compatible brads and not arrow ones. As anyone else had the same problem
with compatible brads? The ones I used are recommended by screwfix.
Thanks
Neil

Not on mine, unless I am missing something. I cant see anyway to adjust the
gun, and there is nothing in the instructions.

Could this problem be caused by recoil? Try pressing down with full weight
on the gun with one hand and firing with the other.
This is the only way I get my arrow gun to drive nails flush.

I have tried that Bob and it marks the wood (indent). I guess I am going to
have to live with the slight indent. I have 4 walls off panelling to put up
and dont fancy finishing each brad with a punch. I will practice a bit more
first to see if I can reduce the indent and still get the brad below the
surface.
Thanks

Whatever, you are still going to have to fill the indent, don't matter if
the nailer or the punch caused it.

Try lubricating the firing mechanism. Air brad nailers don't work without
lubrication.

Thanks Dave, but its an electric one unfortunately, and they say do not
lubricate.
