Nail gun misfires why
1414631
All nail guns will mis fire occasionally, if it has started to happen often its usually one of 3 things, too low of air pressure, wrong nails, or the driver is bent, broken, or worn out. Make sure the nails you are using have the proper angle for the gun.

Mine has never had this problem. I know when the nail load gets down to 3 or 4 nails, it won't fire until I put another load of nails in it. Be sure to be using only the type of nails the manufacture recommends.

When you load nails into the magazine, don't let the magazine slide ram into the nails. It seems a lot of people think it is ok to release the slide at the bottom without guiding it with there hand. The speed and momentum of the slide, unattended will crush the paper back between the nails and cause misalignment when it reaches the firing mechanism. Which results in many misfires. Straight nail magazines will misfire much less.

It could be a few things. Could you describe what is happening in more detail? After how many nails, what nails are you using, what are you driving it into, what psi is the compressor at when it happens, is the line to the nailgun monitored for pressure? what psi is that line at? are you depressing fully or is it an awkward spot when it happens?My first guess would be pressure, is there a leak around your fitting on the gun? is the fitting teflon taped? does the problem only happen at the end of the nail cartridge?

You need to put a rebuild kit in it. The kit is only 19.95 on amazon and it will work like new again.

The fuel cell is what drives the nail. The battery ignites the fuel which drives the nail. The only nails I have used are the Paslode nails that come with a fuel cell. The nail gun will not work without the fuel cell.

I have only used the nails recommended by the manufacturer and they perform perfectly. I would not recommend using a nail other than those specified by the manufacturer. Why risk potentially damaging the gun, voiding the warranty or getting hurt. You should purchase a nail gun that is made for the nail you intend to use.

I used this valve kit to fix a roofing gun myself. This is the updated trigger valve assembly which is an improved design over the original factory equipment part and now my roofing gun works perfectly. If, when you pull the trigger on the roofing gun while pressed against the roofing surface, the nail is not shot and air escapes from the trigger area; your trigger valve is bad. Once replaced, make sure to adequately oil your gun as well. Here is your model with the parts diagram: http://servicenet.bostitch.com/Products/Detail?productNumber=RN45B You are looking for Part Group# 60, which on the list is TVA6 Kit Trigger Valve. Yes, this is the correct part for your model roofing nailer and is what I used to fix mine.

The nailer doesn't have the conventional safety tip like you see on other nailers and this is because you typically need to get the pins in places where you don't want to show any nail holes. I'm assuming the reason for the double safety is because the pins don't have head and the head may provide some type of catch on a standard nailer for the safety to latch on to.

This nailer only shoots 15.5 or 16 gauge nails. I used 16 gauge nails to install my 5/8 bamboo. Worked great.

I have owned this nailer for over a year now. It has fired over 8,000 1 3/4 inch Bostich coil nails for me. It jammed once! Great gun for the price.

It might run a nail gun, but not a die grinder or drill.I haven't tried a nail gun. Anything continous won't run.

I found it does fine with 8 penny nails. Like any nail gun, you have to get the gun in position to get a good toe nail.

I did the research in your case and the answer is that it can't and here is why.1) The compressor you have has a very small air storage capacity. It's perfect for nailguns but paint guns require a lot of air storage ready to flow.2) Here are your compressor specs. 2.6 SCFM which is basically the air per minute (cubic feet per minute). The air gun requires 4.3 SCFM at 40 psi (pounds per square inch). You're is 90 psi so it can handle that but the air flow. In other words, you have the pressure but not the air capacity.

I have just gone through the entire manual and can not find anything that says weather it is at 35 or 21 degrees.... sorry! But, the nails I use in the gun are as follows and are the cheapest in the hardware store (BUNNINGS) where I am in Australia. "DUO-FAST" STRIP NAILS S3.1 x 75 plastic collated. Box of 3000. Reorder code D30500. I have checked on the nail box as well and there is nothing on there either as to the degrees they are set at. I hope this helps... :)

It doesn't matter. Bostitch framing nailers suck. They double fire nails a lot. How do I know? If I could, I'd post up the X-ray of a 3 inch nail that nailed my hand to a deck joist. I knew these guns suck, and kept my hand about 6 inches away as I held a 2x4 block I was nailing in place. The gun kicked back and the second nail went through my middle finger . Ironic. That's what I think of Bostitch.

Sorry to say that I had the same trouble with mine. I ran the pressure up to 110 and it started to drive the nails. Just to add I thought this gun would shoot staples but only pin nails. Wish I had better news for you.

The fuel cell contains gas that is ignited by a small combustion chamber by a spark which is generated with the aid of the motor powered by a lithium battery and there by driving the nail home. This gun takes 30 degree strip nails which should be sold by most home centers and timber yards. There are slightly cheaper generic versions of these Paslode nails available. Availability may vary from region to region.

No I don't see why on low settings it doesn't do much but on med or higher rpm 'it will burn you nails

The nail gun has a full sequential mechanism, a repeated press push lever against wood location then fire nail to depth you want, as all sequential nails.Just starting to use mine.

Do a little research on the gun and you'll have a better idea of the entire system. The fuel is the combustible that explodes in the chamber to drive the piston that sends the nail home. The battery provides ignition and runs a small fan to evacuate the spent gasses (maybe more too). Any standard 30* paper tape nails will work.
