  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.

  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.

Why is my Paslode Cordless Framing Nailer Nail Gun losing power even though the indicator light is green?

  Heather GilbertAug 25, 2025
  If your Paslode Nail Gun operates erratically or appears to be losing power while the indicator light is green, the fuel cell may be low, so check it. Also, the spark plug wire could be loose, so check it. The filter element might be dirty, causing the tool to overheat; remove the filter element and clean it, using soap and water for stubborn debris.
