I am a homeowner with a day job who does not do anything construction related for a living. That being said I am working on framing out my basement and Bought this ruclips.net/user/postUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt gun. I have done a few walls already, have probably shot a couple hundred nails through this thing and have yet to have a misfire. It works awesome, good depth on every nail if you have your compressor set right. My literal only complaint is that it is a bit heavy and my arm can get a little tired especially whrn I am nailing at odd angles. That being said I am super happy with it and would buy it again. Hoping the old girl allows me to get my whole basement finished out!
Thanks for this video. Serviced my non-functioning 350, cleaned and oiled as described and it now works fine. Thanks very much for saving me the cost of a service/repair.
Nice one mate. My nail gum stopped firing in the middle of a work (Just needed two more nails, frustrating). Battery, gas, nail jam possibility have all been eliminated. You can hear the fan and gas just not firing. Do you think the spark plug needs to be replaced? Thanks.
Yeah I’ve got the same Parslow mate I’m really struggling I’m pulling it apart that front bit isn’t coming off I don’t know why I pulled out every single score it’s just stuck
Do you know what the difference between the paslode degreaser and just normal autobarn degreaser is? And also, will you harm the tool by using normal degreaser? Cheers
Top video mate,bloody buggers they can be when playing up.im a concreter but use my paslode framing gun a lot only few days ago it won't fire.when pressed down I hear what I think is the motor or fan but no spark or fire then when lifted away from timber I hear and smell the gas so f#%%×ed if know..any idea pal???
Hi Mike, cheers for the kind words! Sounds like it might be a spark issue When you have it apart you can put the battery in and while pressing the actuator that starts the fan motor, pull the trigger and see if you have any spark. If no spark its a process of elimination to work out the issue from there. Make sure the gas isn't in the tool.
Yeah my bumper keeps getting stuck that’s what I started pulling it apart you know when you’re shooting overhead keeps getting stuck very annoying anyhow so far looks like I’ve done alright I’ve done more than what you’ve done but it still aren’t coming apart like I said everything will screw bit annoying thank you anyway
Hi Huey, sounds like it is lacking power. I would think it needs a good service. Take it to your local service agent and I'm sure they'll sort it for you 👍
Bought one of these 20 years ago. Didn't use it until the warranty had expired. A year or so later, when I did use it, it wouldn't sink a nail all the way to the head, no matter what setting I used. Put it on the shelf. Any suggestions to try and troubleshoot the problem?
My gun will NOT put nail in all the way, no matter what depth adjustment, New fuel cells x3 times, New battery (freshly charged). So when building my barn,I shot nails and used hammer to finish them, it was so annoying. I cleaned gun and had high hopes, nO change..... Common causes? Rebuild kits available?
@@hornibrookstoolsfasteners78 no, great shape. I tore down, can't find a thing wrong. Where do I nail this piece of crap fora rebuild? Home depot sends of I guess, but figure they are a middle man adding costs
Hi i purchased one of these guns a few months back , its only fired about 3/4000 nails and now it doesn't like being fired rapidly , any ideas what it could be ?
you should have shot it to see how it performed, to me it seemed like you over did it with the oil, the instructions say about 3 drops of oil, it looked like you used about 2 to 3 ounces, lol
@@jasonwindebank5455 Why is that best? It doesn't need to be drowning in oil and it won't make it work any better, you're just telling yourself that because it's how you do it.
@@hornibrookstoolsfasteners78 you guys are the pros but I thought you were supposed to realign them every time you clean them it's easy enough cheap split Rings 180° opposite one another. So they say.
@@goodguy5595 The service outlined in the video is a basic clean and lube to allow those not experienced to apply some maintenance to the tool. When a tool is fully serviced the whole tool is disassembled.
I found mine wouldn’t fire after cleaning. It drove me nuts for 24 hours until I read somewhere you should return the cylinder head to the pre-firing position (close to the fan) before reassembling. Theres a hole on the underside of the front of the housing just behind the safety. A small chainsaw file fits through it. Push the cylinder head back to the return position by pushing the file through there. My gun works perfectly now.
Possibly when the gas was put in the top wasn't screwed all the way down and this has made the fuel door tight to open. If you undo the screws each side of the fuel door you should be able to get the fuel door out
@@hornibrookstoolsfasteners78 It was a snap down top fuel cell and I always make sure they are loaded right . I tried for over two hours to ope n it up but no go . I'm about to take it a part like you did in this video , but if I do it to the extent that you have can I get the fuel cell out with out opening the door?
I cleaned my gun, put back together, fired once and plunger stuck out and had to pull battery to release. pushed plunger back in and did the same thing, except this time it will not go back in and I cant figure out how to get to it. I've taken out all screws, springs etc. I tried tapping hard with soft hammer but no luck it is ceased up. no Any suggestions??
If it was firing ok before you disassembled, there may be a problem with the way it was reassembled. If the driver wasn't returning before pulling a part, check for paper from the nails stuck in the wear plate where the driver goes down. Mat also need the check plate resealed
Hi Chris, this video is intended for those that want to give the tool a quick clean. It's not a full service that we would carry out in our service centre.
All the videos everybody's cleaning clean tools that don't need cleaning so they're not mentioning that inside the head cap it will be filthy... don't forget to clean inside the head cap
I don't think is designed to use 3 1/2" nails, check to make sure. Do you have the owners manual? I saw a video that they do not go up to three and a half inch nails.
Did you adjust the depth setting? There are 2 screws on top of the safety. Slacken these and adjust the slider, shorten the slider by moving it towards the body to make it go in deeper or extend out to make it reduce penetration.
No need to loosen the screws to adjust the depth. The bracket can be adjusted by pulling up on the "wings" on top of the slide and moving back or forward accordingly
Hi, it can be difficult to diagnose the problem when the issue happens intermittently. It could be as simple as a weak battery. In short if it isn't effecting the tools performance I wouldn't worry about it to much.
I think this guy watch youtube videos ,and he opened up this way. it’s not right way to teach others,Don’t do this if you don’t know properly . because people spend money on it and they try to open it , and it’s cost more than new tools.
Hi thanks for watching. We repair about 10 of these a day. If you don't feel confident dismantling yourself take your tool to your nearest service centre
fuck , you use way to much oil, every other service video ive seen shows only 5-6 drops at most and why didnt you clean the filter? surely based on how dirty the internals of the gun were, the filter would need a good clean too ?

Glad it helped!
Thanks bro you the man gave my gun a reboot now its working like clock work.
Great!
awesome mate you are a life saver your video helped me to restore my paselode to a great working state thumbs up
When you clean the fan your suppose to move the piston rings behind the fan apart form each other 180 degrees
EXCELLENT VIDEO AS UAUAL THANKYOU FOR TAKING THE TIME I LEARNED A LOT AS ALWAYS WITH YOURE UPLOADS

Thank you sooooooo much.. much respect to you sir and thank you for sharing your knowledge!
cheers Jasper! Have a great day
Well done excellent, clear vid, many thanks.
I’ll give it another go thanks for the help not a bad video thank you👍
No problem 👍
Thank you for posting this video. Helped alot.
Yeah I’ve got the same Parslow mate I’m really struggling I’m pulling it apart that front bit isn’t coming off I don’t know why I pulled out every single score it’s just stuck
Have u tried refilling cartridge.
Do you know what the difference between the paslode degreaser and just normal autobarn degreaser is? And also, will you harm the tool by using normal degreaser?
Cheers
Thank you soooooo much.
Great video
Good job mate.

I got it apart and just never been pulled apart I think it’s just got stuck just with dirt and bit of glue on it
Does brake cleaner work?
We recommend using the Paslode cleaner as it won't damage your electrical 👍
Yeah my bumper keeps getting stuck that’s what I started pulling it apart you know when you’re shooting overhead keeps getting stuck very annoying anyhow so far looks like I’ve done alright I’ve done more than what you’ve done but it still aren’t coming apart like I said everything will screw bit annoying thank you anyway
My palslode framing gun does penetrate all the way through timber, is this because I haven’t serviced it, or do I damage the unit?
Hi Huey, sounds like it is lacking power. I would think it needs a good service. Take it to your local service agent and I'm sure they'll sort it for you 👍
Can you use brake cleaner from cars for it?
We don't recommend using brake cleaner in case it gets into the electrics of the tool. The Paslode degreaser is non conductive so a safer option.
A contact cleaner will be fine.
not sure why you didn't clean the filter
congrats great job done
Hope it helped 👍
Can I use any degreaser? What's so special about the Paslode degreaser
We recommend using the Paslode degreaser as it dry well and doesn't leave an oily residue. It also won't damage the electrics.
It's not special it's a particular formulation made to suit the tool. Lubricants differ depending on the application.
Would nails that have rust on them keep the nail gun from firing?

Hi, wasn't just the depth adjustment on the safety was it?
@@hornibrookstoolsfasteners78 ... Guess what? That's exactly what it was. Duh! Thanks!!!

Get it repaired. It's probably the gasket over time they get werd

@@kevedamanyo find your local repair guy will be your best bet. Have a look on Paslodes website and they should have a list of repairers
Thanks
Cheers James!
There is no need to take the tip apart like that. You can remove the two screws on top of the safe
Some models you don't have to. This model you do

Always best to put plenty of oil in and get your finger in and work it around
@@jasonwindebank5455 Why is that best? It doesn't need to be drowning in oil and it won't make it work any better, you're just telling yourself that because it's how you do it.
Read the manual, says 5-6 drops for the lubrication points and cylinder, not half the bottle......just sayin
What about the split rings you have to realign them
Do you mean the piston ring" These need to be realigned when the piston is removed at major service intervals

Suppose you have something stuck in the nail track like paper or something
You didn't put it back together in the order you took it apart.But very helpful video.

search this: David Gladden nailgun
Yea take it to the shop next time lol
Unfortunately you haven't stripped it down fully to clean it... remove rings and piston.
Hi Chris, this video is intended for those that want to give the tool a quick clean. It's not a full service that we would carry out in our service centre.
And this video proves what a rip off Paslode servicing is, took less than 8 minutes and the cost is between 100 - 120 bucks Australian.
It’s like guns for us in America something small you could do costs ya an arm in leg
All the videos everybody's cleaning clean tools that don't need cleaning so they're not mentioning that inside the head cap it will be filthy... don't forget to clean inside the head cap
Anybody got a video on why a IM 250 straight nailer won't fire?
Are the electrics o.k? Does the fan come on and light go solid green?
If the electrics o.k? Does the fan come on and light go solid green? Try the head switch assembly it cost $33.00
Can i use wd 40 to clean up the fan
You didn’t clean the filter !
Mine will not stop running, the fan stays on I don't know how to fix it please help
If the fan keeps running most likely you have an issue with the circuit board.
Closeup i did mine. Now. Do not wokr back
Lol
I just picked up a paslode framing nailer and it wont quite sink a 3 1/2" nail into a 2x4. bought a new gas cartridge...same thing. any suggestions?
I don't think is designed to use 3 1/2" nails, check to make sure. Do you have the owners manual? I saw a video that they do not go up to three and a half inch nails.
Should be able to fire 3 1/4 nails. 3 1/2 may be ok in softwood
Did you adjust the depth setting? There are 2 screws on top of the safety. Slacken these and adjust the slider, shorten the slider by moving it towards the body to make it go in deeper or extend out to make it reduce penetration.
Return it and buy a hitachi
No need to loosen the screws to adjust the depth. The bracket can be adjusted by pulling up on the "wings" on top of the slide and moving back or forward accordingly
could not see properly no zoom shots and too many shots of forearm
Leave Your comment here if you would like more videos like this!
Could possibly, or may be a circuitboard. U need to test if there is spark before u replace anything, or else Ur just guessing
The flashing green light also blinks red every 10 seconds
have you figured out what it was yet?
eyster10 no i have stripped and clean it and will try it next week , not sure if it blinking red every 10 seconds is normal

Its making the gun slow and annoying to use , what date was this gun released? Do you know
154electrician, if you check the serial number of your tool, the first 2 numbers will give you the year of manufacture
That was possibly the most boring vid ever. Also just when I wanted to see where to lube, the camera person missed it. Brilliant guys.
