Why won't the motor run when I press the trigger on my DeWalt DCN695?

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.
