Do I need to pre-drill when using these nails?

Troubleshooting
Nails are not driving flush.
Adjust the nailer's depth setting. If this doesn't work, check the air pressure on your compressor (if applicable) or consider a different angle for nailing.
Nails are bending during installation.
Ensure you are using the correct nailer and the nailer is in good working condition. Pre-drilling may be necessary for very hard wood species.
Nailer jams frequently.
Check that the nails are properly loaded and aligned in the nailer. Also, ensure the nailer is clean and well-lubricated. If the problem persists, the nailer may need servicing.
