Ridgid 2 12" Angled Finish Nailer R250AFA NEW Questions & Answers
When the tool is connected
You have worn or broken o-rings inside the gun. You can take the cap off the gun and check that nothing got pushed into the gun by air pressure that may be stuck in the o-rings, preventing them from holding the air in. Ridgid makes an overhaul kit (part number 079004001084) that contains all of the o-rings needed to rebuild your gun. Use the lube in the kit liberally on the o-rings so they won't get damaged or pushed out of place while you are reassembling the gun.
Compressor wont shut off
Check your wiring, Line to line, load to load. Line is power coming in, load is to the motor. Check for packing that should have been removed. Inspect the pressure switch contacts to make sure they open at desired psi and adjust as necessary. A nut or screw pushing on a spring adjusts tank psi. Loose unloaded spring is less pressure, tight compressed spring is more pressure before cut off..
Ridgid coilnail gun jams and safty jams in place and gun will not fire. also somtimes will jam
if safety is jamming, its either bent or the pin that keeps it in place is missing/broken, you can find the pin right in front of the trigger. now as far as the nails jamming could be a few things. 1. wrong nails 2.right nail but may have gotten a defective batch 3. bucket that holds nails is adjusted to wrong size. 4.nails have been dropped/ squished and coil is not round anymore 5. nose is very worn and two nails are trying to come out at a time 6. driver is worn/broken and is trying to push out two nails at one time
Will not recess nail
Could be safety foot adjustment, broken driver or worn piston oring. Remove nails from gun and point nose of gun up then down again. If the driver moves within the nailer, replace oring. If driver oring ok, dry fire the gun on soft wood. The driver should leave an impression on the wood about 1/6 to 1/8 in deep. If the tip is broken, no impression will be left in the wood or the impression will be uneven. Replace driver as needed. If driver is good then adjust safety foot to level desired. Good luck
