Why Paslode Nail Gun fasteners not driving fully?
- E
  Erin MitchellAug 12, 2025
  If your Paslode Nail Gun is operating correctly, but the fasteners aren't driving fully, it could be due to a few reasons. The work-contacting element might need adjustment, so try adjusting it. Also, the fuel cell could be low; check it and replace it if necessary. Finally, there might be a loss of seal in the combustion chamber. To check for a leak, 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 these potential causes: You might be using the wrong type of fasteners, so ensure you're using fasteners that meet Paslode specifications. Also, check that the follower is properly engaged behind the fastener strip. Finally, there may be a jammed fastener; clear the jam to resolve the issue.

Why Paslode IM200Li.2 battery does not accept charge?
- T
  Theresa MasonAug 20, 2025
  If the Paslode Nail Gun battery doesn't seem to accept a charge when plugged into the charger, it could be due to a few reasons. The indicator lights on the charger might be inoperative, or the charger itself could be defective. Try the battery in the tool after a full charge cycle. If the tool's indicator light is red, the charger isn't working properly, so replace it or monitor the charging time to ensure the battery has adequate time for recharging. It's also normal for the battery to feel warm after properly charging. Another possibility is that the battery is damaged or its cycle life is exhausted, in which case you should replace the battery.

What to do if Paslode IM200Li.2 Nail Gun driver blade did not return to up position?
- T
  Thomas PriceAug 23, 2025
  If your Paslode Nail Gun operated and drove fasteners, but the driver blade didn't return to the up position, it could be caused by built-up dirt and debris on the driver blade or in the nosebore. Clean the driver blade and nose bore with a degreaser cleaner. The tool might also just be dirty, so try cleaning it.

Why Paslode Nail Gun fasteners are over or under-driven?
- M
  Michael BaileyAug 27, 2025
  If your Paslode Nail Gun is sometimes over-driving and sometimes under-driving fasteners, the work-contacting element is likely not adjusted properly for the material you're fastening. Adjust the work-contacting element and readjust it as needed when the material density or thickness changes.

What to do if Paslode Nail Gun work-contacting element does not depress fully?
- A
  Allison CarterAug 31, 2025
  If the work-contacting element on your Paslode Nail Gun doesn't depress fully and the tool won't operate, it could be due to a bent work-contacting element or debris in the track. Remove and inspect the lower probe, clean the track, and repair or replace the lower probe as needed. Also, check if the lockout feature is engaged; if so, add a strip of nails.

- D
  Deanna RothSep 7, 2025
