What to do if Paslode Nail Gun fasteners do not drive fully?
- C
  Christina WilsonAug 18, 2025
  If the Paslode Nail Gun operates properly but the fasteners aren't fully driven, there could be a few reasons: * The work-contacting element may require adjustment; try adjusting it. * The fuel cell might be low; check it and replace if needed. * There could be a loss of seal in the combustion chamber. To check, press the work-contacting element against the workpiece for one minute, then pull the trigger. If the fastener still doesn't drive, there's likely a leak that requires professional service.

  If your Paslode Nail Gun operates but doesn't drive any fasteners, consider the following: * You might be using the wrong fasteners. Ensure you're using fasteners that meet Paslode specifications. * The follower might not be properly engaged behind the fastener strip. Position the follower behind the fastener strip and engage the strip. * There might be a jammed fastener. Clear the jam.

Why Paslode 900420 battery does not accept charge?
- D
  dwalshAug 28, 2025
  If the Paslode Nail Gun battery doesn't seem to accept a charge when plugged into the wall mount adapter: * There may be inoperative indicator lights on the charger, or a defective charger. Try the battery in the tool after a full charge cycle. If the tool LED is green, the charger isn't working properly. Replace the charger, or monitor charging time to ensure the battery has adequate time for recharging. It's normal for the battery to feel warm after properly charging. * The battery might be damaged or its cycle life exhausted. Replace the battery.

  If the Paslode Nail Gun operated and drove fasteners, but the driver blade did not return to the up position: * There could be built-up dirt and debris on the driver blade or in the nose bore. Clean the driver blade and nose bore with degreaser cleaner. * The mid check might be dirty or disabled. Return the tool to an authorized Paslode® Cordless dealer for service.

Why my Paslode 900420 Nail Gun won't cycle but the fan runs and the light is green?
- J
  John PerezSep 2, 2025
  If your Paslode Nail Gun's fan runs and the indicator light is solid green, but the tool won't cycle, consider these potential causes: * The fuel cell might be empty, so replace it. * The spark wire could be out of the spark plug; remove the cap, check the spark lead, insert it into the spark plug, and replace the cover. * The spark plug might be dirty; clean the tool cylinder head and spark plug.

Why Paslode Nail Gun fasteners are over or under-driven?
- A
  Ashley FarleySep 4, 2025
  If your Paslode Nail Gun sometimes over-drives and sometimes under-drives fasteners, the work-contacting element might not be adjusted properly for the material you're fastening. Adjust the work-contacting element and readjust as needed when the material's density or thickness changes.

What to do if Paslode 900420 Nail Gun work-contacting element does not depress fully?
- C
  Catherine ReynoldsSep 6, 2025
  If the work-contacting element on your Paslode Nail Gun doesn't depress fully and the tool won't operate: * The lockout bracket might be stuck in the lockout position. Check the lockout. If you can't free it, return the tool to an authorized Paslode dealer for service. * The work-contacting element could be bent, or debris buildup in the track might restrict operation. Remove and inspect the lower probe, clean and lubricate the track with Cordless Lubricating oil, and repair or replace the lower probe as needed. Also, ensure the follower is positioned behind the fasteners.

  If the fan on your Paslode Nail Gun doesn't run, or runs slower than normal, and the tool indicator light is solid red, the battery is likely discharged. Charge the battery.
