jpadie Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Hello all I've an old paslode first fix nail gun that is not firing reliably. It feels like the issue is related to the safety switch engagement. If I manually pull back the slide it will fire. Same if I jam the gun against the wood. But otherwise not. I do get the gas and the fan coming on as expected though. Any tips what to look for before I strip it down? Thanks Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSharp01 Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 If it fires when you push it against the target woodwork then the thing is basically working. It maybe that the the depth setting is at max and this is making it hard to push down to trigger point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpadie Posted July 20 Author Share Posted July 20 Same issue whatever the depth setting. I've stripped it down and can see that there was a misalignment of the micro switch. Just have to work out where to out the wee L shaped piece and watch spring that were ejected when I undid the grip housing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
