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 DC616 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 DC616?
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 DC616 Nail Gun operates but doesn't drive fasteners?
If your DeWalt Nail Gun operates but doesn't drive fasteners, it could be due to several reasons. 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).
Why DeWalt DC616 operates, but does not drive the fastener fully?
If your DeWalt Nail Gun operates but doesn't fully drive fasteners, several factors could be at play. It could be due to a low battery charge or a damaged battery, so try charging or replacing the battery. The depth adjustment might be set too shallow; rotate the depth adjustment wheel to a deeper setting. Ensure the tool is firmly applied to the workpiece. The material and fastener length might be too rigorous for the application, so choose appropriate material or fastener length. Damaged or worn driver blade tip or driver/return assembly can also cause this problem. In these cases you should replace the driver/return assembly.
Why DeWalt DC616 operates, but no fastener driven?
If your DeWalt Nail Gun operates but doesn't drive fasteners, consider these potential causes: The magazine may be empty, so load fasteners into the magazine. Ensure you are using the recommended fasteners of the correct size and angle. Check for and clean any debris in the nosepiece or magazine. Worn magazine, damaged or worn driver blade, or a damaged pusher spring can also prevent fasteners from being driven. In these cases you should replace magazine, driver/return assembly or spring.
Why won't my DeWalt DC616 Nail Gun actuate, even though the headlights are on and the motor doesn't run?
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).
Why is my DeWalt Nail Gun not actuating and the headlights flash 4 times?
If your DeWalt Nail Gun is not actuating and the headlights flash 4 times, this is likely due to a low battery charge or a damaged battery. Try charging or replacing the battery.
What to do if DeWalt Nail Gun doesn’t actuate and headlights flash continuously?
If your DeWalt Nail Gun doesn’t actuate and the headlights flash continuously, it could be due to a jammed fastener or a jammed mechanism. If it is a jammed fastener, remove the battery, clear the jammed fastener (push driver blade back up manually if necessary), and reinsert the battery pack. If the mechanism is jammed you should see authorized service center.
Why DeWalt DC616 Nail Gun doesn’t actuate (Headlights flash 4 times)?
If your DeWalt Nail Gun doesn’t actuate and the headlights flash 4 times, it's likely due to a low battery charge or a damaged battery. Charge or replace the battery to resolve this issue.
