18 gauge brad nailer wont fire
Respondida
18 gauge brad nailer wont fire. No jam, and the light on the right side flashes. Take battery off and on, then swap nails out for new ones. Ill do that 5-10 times and then it'll finally start working again. Ill get half way through the strip of nails and have to go through that all again.

Check Battery Health: Ensure the battery is fully charged and in good condition. Try with a different battery to rule out a power issue.
-
Inspect for Jam: Even if it appears there's no jam, carefully inspect the nailer's firing mechanism and magazine for any obstructions or misaligned nails.
-
Clean and Lubricate: Dust, debris, or lack of lubrication can cause firing problems. Clean the nailer thoroughly and apply the appropriate lubricant as per the user manual.
-
Adjust Nail Strip: Ensure the nail strip is loaded properly, aligned, and within the specified size for the nailer. Misaligned or improper nails can cause firing issues.
-
Check Firing Depth: Adjust the firing depth setting to ensure it's suitable for the material you're working on. Incorrect settings might prevent firing.
-
Inspect Contact Element: Check the contact element (the part that makes contact with the workpiece) for any damage or misalignment. It should move freely and hit the nails squarely.
Contact DeWalt Support: If the issue persists, reaching out to DeWalt customer support or taking the nailer to an authorized service center for professional inspection and repair might be necessary.

I am having the exact same experience. I’ve only had the nailer for a few months and have probably fired 20 nails for some odd jobs around the house. I cannot even get it to wind.
