20 Most Recent RTO PasLode 900420 Impulse Framing Nailer Questions & Answers

if you remove the battery and look into where the battery goes at the bottom you will see the two prongs that make contact with the battery pack gently pry away from the side not to far but just a bit if you can not insert battery when done you pried to, far just bend them back until all works properly

you need to give more info mate , it the battery charged , is there gas in it how old ,is it filthy inside etc etc

Make sure you have the correct gas cylinder. There are more than one type of cylinders for these nailers. If it is not correct it won't seat and gas will leak. Whiring sound is normal, fan mixing oxygen. Make sure "O" ring is in place under the gas cylinder.

You or who ever worked on your tool last didn't replace the lock out spring. I see this all the time. Its a little spring that holds the lock out down so the safety can engage. I bet when u try to fire the gun upside down the safety doesn't go all the way back.

you have a dead short in fan. did you have fan apart for cleaning unit? If so take back apart and check for bare wires grounding the fan. curcuit is not completed

You have a stuck head switch - it is part of a circuit assembly (#89), it may be the actuator (#66) causing it. https://www.toolpartsdirect.com/paslode-90060-cordless-16-gauge-angled-finish-nailer.html

If you send the model number I can give you a specific part number, but the issue is the head switch is stuck on. This can be caused by a bad switch or the cylinder not returning entirely.

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about the Paslode nailers and the problems that can come up with them.

I also have a link to the Paslode manuals which contain Paslode cleaning and troubleshooting guides.

If you need parts for your Paslode, there also is a link for a site that sells the Paslode nailer parts.

Make sure the spark plug ignites. Take tool apart as in cleaning. Hold micr switch near fan and watch as you pull trigger. you will see a spark. If not check the lead to igniter

unplug it

make sure the safety is being pushed in all the way

it will not fire unless the safety is fully engaged

Not really, you can check the spark unit by taking the cylinder assembly off as a unit and you will find a lever at the top, put a battery in tool and depress this lever, the fan should run for a few seconds and then shut off, next depress the trigger and the same should happen. Then while holding the lever (watch fingers on fan) depress the trigger and you should get spark, if not I would look for a loose spark plug wire at the spark unit, check for the wires grounding on the head assembly and broken wires there also. Also when checking at the spark unit make sure one of the 2 plugs is not partially pulled up. The simplest thing to replace is the circuit assembly, but if you have it apart it would be worthwhile to take it to a shop and see if they can change one part or the other to ensure you get the right one first. Hope this helps.

instead trying looking at the switch(s) both for the trigger and the trip switch near the top depending which model it is some have the wires and others have the circuit panel setup which is far more finicky. does your fan run when the trigger is depressed at all?

Its called a lock-out, it goes close to the nose. On either side of the nose there are two screws. It goes on the side that has a slot between the metal plate and the plastic. Unscrew the two screws remove the plate it put the "z" and spring between plate and plastic housing. Put the two screws back. Now check to see the lock-out is being pushed up by the feeder when there are no nails in tool

Pull the gun apart completely and replace the black ignitor box that is situated in the handle
