has anyone had the sliding nail cartridge get stuck? Mine stuck and won't budge, and am trying to figure out how to get it to slide open. Thanks,

Not me, clearly a bent nail stuck in there. Im on my second one for misfire issues. I think while handy, this design is not ready for prime time !

Chances are the nails are crossing the grooves or a nail is bent preventing it from sliding. Open the front latch and clear out any jams you can reach. You may need a screwdriver or needle nose pliers. Shine a flashlight in and see if you can see anything. You may have to take it apart or force it open.

Good luck. Send it back to Amazon. I did after a month or so and paid a restocking fee. Get a real gun. I now have a Porta-Nails 470A, that replaced the Porter Cable nailer that replaced the Akuzuki nailer.

Put a drop of oil on the tip of the cartridge. Insert into the gun(?) then tighten the screw until it just touches the cartridge (you will feel the resistance). Then turn the screw hard an don't stop turning until its fully seated. I get e little hiss momentarily but it seats just find. I've used probably 30 of my 100 cartridges with no problems. Good value and performs great in my CO2 BB pistol. Hope this helps...AO

Hi, I have never had a problem with mine, but on each end there may be a clip that if you put your fingernail under the far end and pull out it will release.Other than that, Other than that, I can only suggest that there is a strong détente that can be overcome by pulling on it with a little more force. It may be that you will have to remove it and inspect the slides and make sure that they are truly free and work back and forth. I think it is possible that if there was a little misalignment when it was installed that it might be hard to slide the drawer back and forth. It may be necessary to fill and redrill a hole or two to correct alignment. Hope this helps you, Kathy. Peace.

I have a bit of trouble with this too.Trick is :DO NOT un screw the bottom. You are going to have to to sit on your butt , take your right leg and pull on the plunger till it locks to the notch on the bottom. What ever you do , do not knock the plunger . insert the cartridge open end down. Peel off the top of the cartridge .Screw the top of the grease gun down.There is no reason ever to remove the bottom of the grease gun. This is the best grease gun I have ever owned.

I see so many different resetters.. do you have a link to one that will reset OEM and the chips from these 3rd party cartridges? Ive ordered several more of the cartridges sets I also have the jigs that you can drill a hole in the sponge end and refill with a second part of the jig that has the refill needle in it... I would think that filling from the top of the cartridge would be easier.. I think there is a small "bb" that you can push thru and then put a plug in after you refill, but havent looked under the "push here" label to confirm that

I think you're talking about the trays. It should slide apart. If its stuck it must be due to like a pressure change or something where it expanded. Maybe just give it a few good taps in the palm of your hand.

Thanks for your post - I just tried it now and it works! I had always thought it would break if I force it up because it seemed to be really stuck. But since you described how to do it I was more confident, and it now works! thanks again

I use my thumbnail or a fingernail. By the way, if you get it to come out, you'll see a little arm that slides down. You need to push it down until it clicks. Then you're good to go!

I was having this issue too. I thought I had a defective piece and was about to send it back, but thought I'd call the company first. I got through to a rep almost immediately and she made me do the same thing I was doing before but somehow it worked. To summarize: 1. Push the green cartridge away from the top, towards the cup. 2. Hold the bottom part on the floor, line the top with the bottom and push the top part in really, really hard. If you are able to pull them apart with your hands, then it's not hard enough. I really had to use my full body weight to push it in. 3. Slide the green cartridge into the joint and you are good to go. The rep told me that normally you don't need to use that much force, but with some of the pieces, the assembly is not perfect and needs a lot of force. Hope that helps.

I am still using my first cartridge, so I cannot be of any help, but can you contact the seller to inquire about your problem? I see someone else had a problem, so I will be on alert when I change to the new one. Sorry I cannot be of more help. bummer...

Hey joenaples,did you try removing the cartridges and put them in back?when doing that press each cartridge firmly near the lock until you hear a click for each cartridge,the chip on the cartridge's has to ground properly for the printer to recognize it,worth a try,it works for me..

I hooked mine up and had the same problem. There's an adjustment on the cartridge that should fix the problem. It should be on the instructions. I thought mine was broken and after the adjustment it's been fine ever since.

You will want to make sure that the cartridge is seated properly. I have had them stick up a bit. If that doesn't work, contact the helpline. Good luck!

Did you follow the instructions to clear the lines before installing the cartridge. Sometime a bit of mineral buildup in the lines can cause the unit not to seat properly. I did not have any problems with dripping on mine, it works just fine to this day. You may be able to redo the procedure from the step before inserting the main control cartridge making sure there is nothing getting caught up in the shutoff area of the cartridge.

AjaxDo you already have a rotoshave? If so, how do you like it? I'm trying to hold off in the hopes they'll let me know about the cartridges before then but with it being X-mas and all I probably will have to take the leap of faith.Regards,scott
