If nails are clogging the mechanism of your Hitachi Nail Gun, make sure you are using the specified nails. Also, check the magazine for improper nail feed (see Magazine in item 1 in the manual). If the driver blade is worn, replace it. Finally, ensure that the driver blade has returned completely (see Output section in item 1 in the manual).
Why is the single actuation mechanism not working on my Hitachi NT 65M2 Nail Gun?
If the single actuation mechanism isn't working on your Hitachi Nail Gun, it could be due to a worn O-ring in the plunger or valve piston, in which case you should replace the part. It may also be caused by an abnormal plunger sliding surface of the valve piston (seized or deformed), or an abnormal plunger, trigger arm (C), push lever (B), and/or body (worn or damaged); replace the abnormal parts. Finally, ensure the switching device is set to the correct position.
Why is the head of a nail protruding from the wood surface when using my Hitachi NT 65M2 Nail Gun?
If the head of a nail protrudes from the wood surface when using your Hitachi Nail Gun, it could be due to several reasons. The adjuster might be improperly adjusted, so check if the nails are in the lowest position and drive a nail. The air pressure might be too low; adjust it to between 70 and 120 psi. The workpiece could be very hard, so avoid using unspecified workpieces. Other potential causes include a worn driver blade, an abnormal (worn or damaged) piston O-ring, or a cylinder with an abnormal (worn or rough) internal surface; in these cases, replace the defective part.
What to do if my Hitachi NT 65M2 Nail Gun bends nails when driving?
If your Hitachi Nail Gun is bending nails, it could be because, for short nails, the adjuster is raised too high; turn the adjuster to a lower position to decrease the pressure. It may also be that the nails are not fully fed into the injection port (refer to item 1 in the manual). A worn driver blade or using an unspecified, very hard workpiece can also cause bending; replace the driver blade or avoid using unspecified workpieces.
