Mine works perfectly fine! In fact, I am surprised how easily the mechanism guides the sticks through so smoothly. You may want to contact Stanley! This seems like a defect.Sorry to hear of this! Good luck.

The gun needs to be loaded with 2 (two) sticks for the trigger to work. Push one in as far as you can then load a second behind it. The second one actually works off the trigger pushing the first down through the heating elements.

Mine does go through when the trigger is pulled. You have to push it to get it started but after that it works its way through. You do need to start with two sticks.

I had that problem too and it drove me crazy! Then I rethought it. The plunger stick goes UP THROUGH THE BOTTOM; then put the on the spring and then the knob!

Try remounting the scope, reset it to factory, and adjust to your preference. If that doesn't not help I would ask, are you breathing before you pull trigger because when you fire your pulling down and naturally the gun wants to follow.

If you try to squeeze the trigger before all the glue is melted inside the gun it can be solid in the nozzle still so has nowhere to go but out through the back and it gets inside also. I use glue guns regularly, I have a £200 3m and still these use these regularly as they heat up quicker. Use it right and these last a long time.

hi i have to agree with vid pro. i do not believe you have ruined it at all. i would get the gun hot again and push more sticks of glue through too. even if you used mini sticks keep pushing thru even if you used a wooden skewer to help push it thru [ never use metal,] only a wood skewer, just to push it as soon as you see the glue come through, try to get all the glue mini sticks out that way.might as well get the right sized glue sticks cos this will be a repeat of the same ole problem you are having now if you don't. the best thing is just use the right size sticks to push out the mini sticks of glue out, then you can bypass wood skewer. that is what i would do. you should really use the mini glue sticks for a smaller gun cos the chamber is made for the mini sticks that is why it is difficult to get the glue flow out with this gun. rest assured i use this glue gun profesionally i own 2 i love this gun. this gun is HOT please make sure to have ice water near you can dunk a finger in, helps to cool the glue so the burn isn't so bad. live and learn please be careful. enjoy that gun hope this helps pammypurple

the internal needle is also needs to be removed by circulating it, be cousin it needs strong push then you can make it out of the gun, hope this helped you,

mine doesn't work either. you have to really push it in and sometimes it doesn't stay.

Try using the gun in single action because the trigger pull is significantly lighter. You could also try mounting a laser sight.

There is a spring loaded lever on the back that you push in... then simply slide the bottom tray back and put the staples in their slot. I had no problem loading but it did start misfiring pretty badly after about 1000 staples (I had to keep opening the front and pushing the firing pin/hammer back up into the housing. Either bad luck for me or just a bad design). Good luck.

What's not working on it? Is it the steamer or the actual shot puller thing? It could be that the temperature isn't hot enough or it's clogged, but which component is it?

If I do that you should be able to I stall with the right tools in like 15 min the pin you have to drive out to get the trigger group out of the gun don't drive it out all the way because there is a tiny spring that gets it the way of the new bolt you use instead of the pin and makes installing it impossible but if you drive the pin out with the bolt they supply should b a snap

It could be a few things. Could you describe what is happening in more detail? After how many nails, what nails are you using, what are you driving it into, what psi is the compressor at when it happens, is the line to the nailgun monitored for pressure? what psi is that line at? are you depressing fully or is it an awkward spot when it happens?My first guess would be pressure, is there a leak around your fitting on the gun? is the fitting teflon taped? does the problem only happen at the end of the nail cartridge?

On mine you can NOT push it once to hold it on spray. You have to hold the trigger for spray. Arghh. My old one was the same way. Inconvenient when you want to have the spray on and use both hands for washing.

Reducing the pressure of the air compressor should do it. Also reducing how hard you press the staple gun against your project would help.

You must have cross threaded it when attaching. Or maybe you're not fully depressing the release button. I've had no such problem with mine. If all else fails apply a bit of soapy water where it's binding. Maybe that will loosen it enough. Good luck!

Try pushing down on it, up and down, several times. I think that is how you release the glue.

Make sure the gun is disconnected and then it just pushes on the end. You need to put a little muscle behind it but it goes on nicely.
