Why does my DeWalt DCN691 Nail Gun motor run but not fire nails?
- A
  Anita KelleySep 5, 2025
  If your DeWalt Nail Gun's motor runs but doesn't fire, first check if the dry fire lock out is engaged and load nails into the magazine. Next, verify the battery charge level and charge or replace the battery if necessary. If there's a jammed nail, remove the battery, clear the jam, cycle the stall release lever, and manually push the driver blade up if needed before reinserting the battery.

  Debra GuzmanAug 25, 2025
  If your DeWalt Nail Gun operates, but no fastener is driven, it could be due to a few reasons. Check if there are nails in the magazine and load them if necessary. Ensure you are using the correct size and angle nails as recommended. Also, inspect the nosepiece and magazine for any debris and clean them if needed.

Why DeWalt DCN691 motor does not run with contact trip depressed?

  Thomas HuangAug 26, 2025
  If your DeWalt Nail Gun motor doesn't run when you depress the contact trip, start by checking if the trigger lock is engaged and unlock it. Another possibility is that the dryfire lockout is engaged, preventing the contact trip from traveling fully; load more nails into the magazine. Also, the tool might be stalled, which locks the motor; rotate the stall release lever to release it. If the driver blade doesn't return, remove the battery and manually push the driver blade back to its home position. Keep in mind that the motor stopping after 5 seconds is normal operation; release and redepress the contact trip.

Why won't the motor run when I press the trigger on my DeWalt DCN691?

  If the motor of your DeWalt Nail Gun doesn't run when you depress the trigger, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the trigger lock isn't engaged. If the tool is stalled, rotate the stall release lever. If the driver blade doesn't return, remove the battery and manually push the driver blade back. For sequential actuation mode, depress the contact trip before firing, or switch to bump mode (DCN692 only). Try resetting the tool's electronics by removing the battery for 3 seconds and reinserting it. Note that the motor will stop running after 5 seconds, which is normal operation; release and redepress the trigger to continue.

How to fix a DeWalt DCN691 Nail Gun that doesn't drive nails all the way in?

  Keith RossAug 27, 2025
  If your DeWalt Nail Gun operates but doesn't fully drive fasteners, first check the depth adjustment and set it to a deeper setting. Ensure the tool is firmly applied to the workpiece. If using bump mode with long nails (DCN692 only), switch to sequential mode. Consider the material and fastener length; if stalling occurs, use appropriate materials and fastener lengths. Remove the no-mar tip if it's attached. New tools may require 500–1000 nails to run-in. If driving longer ring shank nails in soft woods or into harder materials in speed 1, adjust the speed setting to position 2.

Ensure the tool is not in sequential actuation mode or switch to bump mode. Also, try removing the battery, waiting 3 seconds, and reinserting it to reset the internal electronics. Note that the motor stopping after 5 seconds is normal operation; release and redepress the trigger.

Why does the drive blade keep getting stuck on my DeWalt DCN691 Nail Gun?
- B
  Bradley MorganSep 6, 2025
  If the drive blade of your DeWalt Nail Gun continues to get stuck in the down position, use the stall release lever and clear any jammed nails. Clean the nose area of any debris. Consider the material and fastener length; if stalling continues, choose a less rigorous application. New tools can take 500–1000 nails for parts to mesh and wear in together. If trying to drive longer ring shank nails in soft woods, or driving ring shank nails into harder materials in speed 1 - adjust speed setting to position 2.

Why DeWalt DCN691 drive blade continues to get stuck in down position?
- A
  Anthony TranSep 4, 2025
  If the drive blade of your DeWalt Nail Gun continues to get stuck in the down position, it could be due to a jammed nail. Use the stall release lever to clear any jammed nails, and manually return the driver blade if necessary. Another potential cause is debris in the nosepiece; clean the nose area, watching for small pieces of broken nails stuck in the track.
