I have shot many pellets through mine without any problems. Maybe there is a pellet stuck in the barrel? Not sure what the return policy is, but if you can't get it open returning may be the best option.

Mine broke and I contacted Cuisanart and they replaced it but now the second one broke too. I do the same thing and put a heavy can on top when popping. Definitely a flaw in the design!

Send it back. They should replace it. I have had mine for more then a year and it stays closed.Henry

Sorry to hear that. I got mine last December and, coincidentally, I also use it primarily for chicken. To date I have not had any problems with it. I would hope this is just a "lemon" and that they will replace it for you.

That's only happened to me once. Pop the spool cap off (squeeze the two sides and pull it) and look at the spool of line. It's possible you have some sort of knot in the line stopping it feeding freely. If so, pull it out and rewind it. I've had very few problems with it, though if you're whacking weeds close to concrete or stone, for instance, it will wear quite fast, requiring stopping every minute or two to feed more line. BTW, you should hear the line feed click just before the head stops turning. The thing is designed for about a 1/4" feed on each stop/start.

Not sure, maybe the clip is just worn out (plastic), or try another brand/style of pellet. I personally don't have any issues with the pellets falling out.

Check the plunger to see if it is on correct. I went crazy trying to figure out why mine was only working half the time after a cartridge change. I finally noticed that the plunger did not look even so i used a screwdriver to move it back into position. This only worked temporarily before it would get out of position again. I am VERY disappointed with this gun. I have been using a $10 workforce that has seen far more use without problem.

It must be broken and you should return it and ask for a new one. I know the two I bought for my grandchildren worked very well.Good luck!

Hi Janice,Not sure why your feeder plastic cracked. I have had a number of these over the years and have never had one crack w/o a reason. Usually because a squirrel or raccoon has knocked it to the ground and by that time it's getting old so I just get a new one. However, if it is fairly new, you might want to check the manufacturer's Web site to see if replacement parts are available.

I didn't have a problem after the first 2 eggs. I made sure it was centered on the top and help it securely and pulled the srping loaded handle up and let it loose. It cracked the shell perfectly. The crack was aperfect line around the shell.

maybe you need to adjust the grind time. if it doesn't stop when set to the minimum, something is broken. or put in the double shot cup and set it to single shot grind volume.

I would suggest looking online or just buy a new gun since they are so cheap? If you think it may be broke, first try taking it out. My sister thought she broke the needle and it was actually just jammed.

I would return it. My first time I cracked several pounds of pecans with no problems, very strong nutcracker in my opinion, maybe yours was defective...

You might be low on co2..did you put pelloil on the co2 cartridge? mine does that when its on a "last gasp" of gas pressure. if you stored it over night, after shooting 5 shots.. you have a leak somewhere.. if you used the pelloil, or you did not set the cartridge...perfect straight.. hope this helps..after 12k thousand rounds! yikes the original finally quit.. slide locked open, so i got another..at 3k rounds..perfect!

It's so funny. I like this q&a thing. Idk I have has this happen before. Does there seem like there is less material in the tube as well and are the rubber washer things different. My guess is that it just is extremely old and things change in the tube. The company will send you a new one though if you call them and send it to them.

Not to give you a smart answer, but, I would send it back for repairs. I bought two of them last summer and so far have had no issues with them. However, with their warranty, I would not hesitate to send either one or both back if I had issues. I am going to pull both of mine down this weekend-hunting season is over here- I will know then if they have developed any problems since they were down last. I will run them for at least 6 more weeks. Hope this helps.

Send it back! It's so easy to use that you shouldn't have this problem at all. As long as there is water in the correct tank and you are hitting the trigger button, it should work. Double check that you set it up correctly and there isn't anything clogging it. Then send it back.
