OK then. If it's a coil nailer, here's what you probably have. When you open the door to set the nails in, there are usually 2 different tracks. They are for different length nails. If you have longer nails, then the heads need to go in the closest track to you as you look down at the loading area. Unroll about a quarter turn of the nails so you have a string of them apart from the rest of the roll. Set the heads in one of the tracks, the one that is easiest to fit in, and then slide the nails up that channel until they stop. That will be right below the fingers that will load the nail into the chamber.
Now close the lid on the magazine and plug in the air. Hopefully you have the sequential fire trigger. Push the tip against the wood and pull the trigger. You'll know real fast if it's sequential or not. If it sounds like you are firing a machine gun, you have the other kind of trigger assembly. It will only take a shot or 2 to load the nails into the chamber to keep going. If the nails aren't pushed up the channel it may not fire at all. Mine has a lock out on it so I don't dry fire. If this isn't what you're needing, send me the brand name and model if possible and I'll see if I can help more. ----- Original Message ----- From: Agent86b To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, June 03, 2009 6:48 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Coil nailer problem Hi, sorry did not make myself clear. My reference to a palm nailer was only out of frustration not being able to purchase one here. So I would really appreaciate any advice on the Coil Nailer. Thanks again.
