This usually occurs when the head valve is worn, cracked or just needs lubrication. If the valve looks ok, then lube with white grease and test. If still no joy, make sure that the trigger firing pin is being pushed all the way in when attempting to fire. Make adjustment to safety foot. Good luck with the repair.

If the trigger is set to single fire, you will need to place the gun against the work then pull trigger as you have done. Try setting the trigger to bump fire and try again. If hear a thump inside the gun, remove the head and check that the head valve in not stuck from lack of lubrication. Easy test, remove the nails, remove trigger pin, remove trigger and manually push trigger firing valve. If the gun fires then suspect faulty trigger or safety arm not lifting enought to activate the trigger valve. Good luck
