porter cable fc350 type 2 clipped head framing nailer

[mwoods]

i have a question, i have one of these jokers and it drives the nail down to about 1/2" and bends the remainder of the nail over not fully driving the nail. Now at some points in the clip it may start fully driving the nails but when reload comes it starts with the falling short deal again. I wanted to ask this question before i bundle it up and ship it out for repairs. Thanks, Mike

The most common reason for a nail gun to bend the nail is a chip or worn edge on the driver. It slides off the nail and pushes it over. Either open and remove the driver or check it with trigger pulled (careful) if worn, just grind it flat, not removing any more than necessary. Ken
