What to do if my Senco Nail Gun runs but will not drive fastener?

  Michelle HernandezJul 27, 2025
  If your Senco Nail Gun runs but won't drive fasteners, the issue could stem from several causes. First, recharge or replace the battery with a fresh one if it's discharged or has a dead cell. Second, if there's a nail jam in the guide body, refer to the operator's manual for instructions on how to clear it. If the tool is overheated, allow it to cool down and insert a fresh battery. Finally, if the driver tip is not located above the fastener, recharge the battery and allow the tool to automatically retract the driver.

  If your Senco Nail Gun isn't driving fasteners to the desired depth, ensure the depth-of-drive is properly set by referring to the operator's manual. Also, make sure you're holding the tool firmly against the workpiece while driving the fastener. If the application is too demanding, consult the operator's manual for appropriate uses.

  If you are experiencing poor feed or tool jamming with your Senco Nail Gun, it might be due to debris build-up in the mechanism or the driver tip not being located above the fastener. To resolve this, clean the tool, lubricate the magazine, or install a new Parts Kit.
