  If the motor of your DeWalt Nail Gun runs but doesn't fire, several factors could be at play. First, the dry-fire lockout might be engaged; try loading nails into the magazine. Second, the battery charge might be low, or the battery could be damaged; check the charge level and replace or charge the battery if needed. Lastly, a nail could be jammed, preventing the drive blade from returning to its home position; remove the battery, clear any jammed nails, cycle the stall release lever, and manually push the driver blade up if necessary before reinserting the battery.

  If your DeWalt Nail Gun isn't driving fasteners fully, it could be due to a few reasons. Check the depth adjust setting and rotate it to a deeper setting if it's too shallow. Ensure that the tool is firmly applied to the workpiece. If the unit continues to stall, choose the appropriate material and fastener length.

  If the motor of your DeWalt Nail Gun doesn't run when you depress the trigger, first check if the trigger lock is engaged and unlock it. If the tool is stalled, locking the motor, rotate the stall release lever. If the driver blade does not return, remove the battery and manually push the driver blade back. 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.

  If the motor of your DeWalt Nail Gun doesn't run when the contact trip is depressed, start by checking if the trigger lock is engaged and unlock it. If the dry-fire lockout is engaged, load more nails into the magazine. If the tool is stalled, rotate the stall release lever, and if the driver blade does not return, remove the battery and manually push the driver blade back to the home position. Note that the motor stopping after 5 seconds is normal operation; release and redepress the contact trip.
