Your DeWalt Nail Gun might not be turning on due to several reasons: a low or damaged battery (charge or replace it), a contact trip lock in a locked position (unlock it), tool internal electronics not reset (remove the battery, wait 3 seconds, and reinsert it). For dirty or damaged terminals, a bent contact trip, or damaged internal electronics, consult an authorized service center.
How to fix a DeWalt DC612 that doesn't fully drive fasteners?
If your DeWalt Nail Gun isn't fully driving fasteners, it could be due to a low or damaged battery (charge or replace it), a shallow depth adjustment (rotate the depth adjustment wheel to a deeper setting), not firmly applying the tool to the workpiece (see instruction manual), using too rigorous a material and fastener length (choose appropriate material or fastener length), or a damaged or worn driver blade tip or assembly (replace driver/return assembly; see authorized service center).
How do I fix a jammed fastener in my DeWalt DC612?
A jammed fastener in your DeWalt Nail Gun can be caused by several factors. You might be using the wrong size or angle fasteners (use only recommended fasteners), or the material and fastener length might be too rigorous for the application (material or fastener length inappropriate). Other potential causes include a low battery charge or damaged battery (charge or replace battery), debris in the nosepiece or magazine (clean nosepiece and magazine), or a worn magazine or pusher spring (replace magazine or spring; see authorized service center). Also, the driver blade could be damaged or worn (replace driver/return assembly; see authorized service center).
What to do if my DeWalt DC612 operates but doesn't drive fasteners?

Check if there are no fasteners in the magazine (load fasteners into magazine), you're using the wrong size or angle fasteners (use only recommended fasteners), there's debris in the nosepiece or magazine (clean nosepiece and magazine), or the magazine is worn (replace magazine; see authorized service center). Also, the driver blade could be damaged or worn (replace driver/return assembly; see authorized service center), or the pusher spring could be damaged (replace spring; see authorized service center).

If your DeWalt Nail Gun's headlights are on but the motor doesn't run, it could be normal operation if the motor stops running after 2 seconds (release trigger or contact trip and redepress). Other possible causes include the contact trip or trigger not being depressed (see instruction manual), a damaged trigger or bent contact trip (see authorized service center), the contact trip lock being in the locked position in sequential mode only (unlock contact trip lock), or damaged internal electronics (see authorized service center).
