Why DeWalt Nail Gun motor does not run with trigger depressed?
- JJustin Berry DDSJul 27, 2025
If your DeWalt Nail Gun's motor doesn't run when you depress the trigger, there are several potential causes. First, check if the trigger lock is engaged and unlock it. The tool might be stalled, preventing the motor from rotating; rotate the stall release lever. If the driver blade doesn't return, remove the battery and manually push it back. If the tool is in sequential actuation mode, depress the contact trip before firing or switch to bump mode. You can also try resetting the tool's internal electronics by removing the battery, waiting three seconds, and reinserting it. Note that the motor stopping after 5 seconds is normal operation; release and redepress the trigger.
