I have a rigid 18v finishing nailer. It is about 6
I assume you have a R250AF18. The operator's manual for this nailer is
here. There's an exploded diagram with a parts list
here.
Could be a couple problems. A soft click sounds an awful lot like electric motor failure, but given that it's 6 moths old, this is a warranty issue. Rigid has a 3 year limited warranty on this tool. You can check
here for a service center near you or give them a call at 866-539-1710 and they'll take care of you. Ridgid's customer support is generally very good.
Nail gun problem
This is a bottom fire tool. (NV83A2) You need to hold the trigger down and then as you place the nailer to the wood the safety will depress and it will fire once. This is usually done in one, swift action. If you do this in the opposite way by placing the tool to the wood and then pulling the trigger they often will double fire.
My ridgid r213bna nail gun won't fire a nail, but has good pressure & no jam...
If a gun is firing and nails are not being driven into the work it's because of one of two problems. The nails aren't feeding fully under the driver or the driver isn't fully retracting each time the gun is activated. Is looks like you've eliminated a feed problem so you are going to have to take the gun apart to find out why air is not being held in the bottom of the head long enough to push the driver back up the cylinder. Go to
www.ereplacementparts.com and bring up your model so you can follow along. Remove the four screws holding the head cap on. The things that can cause your problem are: the piston seal & o-rnig are damaged, the cylinder is badly scored, the o-ring & cylinder ring on the bottom half ot the cylinder are damaged or out of place, or the driver guide under the bumper is broke or missing. If it turns out internal parts are damaged or missing, I highly recommend the overhaul kit to replace all the 'soft' parts inside the gun as long as you have it apart.
