FAQs
What type of battery does this nailer use?
This is a body-only tool and requires a Worx 20V PowerShare battery. The battery and charger are sold separately.
What is the maximum nail length this tool can drive?
The Worx Nitro 16-gauge finish nailer can drive nails up to 64mm (2-1/2").
Can I use this nailer for framing?
No, this is a 16-gauge finish nailer designed for trim work, molding, and baseboards. It is not intended for framing applications, which require larger gauge nails and different types of nailers.
How do I switch between single and contact firing modes?
There is a mode selection switch located on the tool body, typically near the handle. Simply slide the switch to your desired mode: single sequential firing for precision or contact actuation for rapid nailing.
What does 'Air Impact Technology' mean?
Air Impact Technology uses compressed air internally, generated by the motor, to drive the nail. This allows the tool to achieve the power needed to sink nails into hardwoods without an external air compressor.
Is the battery included with the tool?
No, this is sold as a body-only unit. A Worx 20V PowerShare battery and charger must be purchased separately.
How do I clear a jammed nail?
The tool features a tool-free jam release. Simply open the magazine cover (usually by pressing a lever or sliding it back) to access and remove the jammed nail. No additional tools are required.
Troubleshooting
Nail not firing
Ensure the battery is properly seated and charged. Check that the nose is pressed firmly against the work surface and that the safety engagement is activated. Clear any potential jams in the magazine.
Nail not fully driving or sinking too deep
Adjust the Tool-Free Depth Adjustment Dial. Increase depth for under-driven nails, decrease for over-driven nails. Ensure you are using the correct nail length for the material.
Tool jamming frequently
Use the correct gauge and length of nails. Ensure nails are loaded properly in the magazine. Use the Tool-Free Jam Release to clear obstructions promptly. Avoid forcing nails into excessively hard materials beyond the tool's capacity.
Reduced power or runtime
The battery may be low on charge; recharge or replace it. Ensure air vents are clear of debris. If the issue persists with a fully charged battery, the battery may be nearing the end of its lifespan.
Contact actuation not working consistently
Ensure the tool is powered on and the safety tip is depressed firmly against the surface before attempting to fire. Check that the mode selector is correctly set to contact actuation.
