Troubleshooting
Nails are not firing.
Check the nailer's power source (battery or air supply). Ensure the magazine is loaded correctly. Inspect for jams and clear them according to the nailer's manual.
Nails are not driving flush.
Adjust the nailer's depth setting. If the nails still aren't flush, consider using a hammer to tap them in gently.
Nails are bending.
Ensure the nailer is perpendicular to the surface. Adjust the air pressure on the nailer if applicable. Use a slower firing speed if possible.
