I just bought one of these and it will leak if the trigger is held down halfway. If you depress it all the way it stops. Is this normal?

I have done four roofs and loaned my nailer out for two others. I don't recall any similar problem in normal use. And neither of the other two guys mentioned any problems with the stapler at all. I have been very pleased with the depth of drive mechanism versus a Bostitch unit that I had previously borrowed.

I borrowed one to do a roof repair and it did leak air when I depressed the trigger halfway but I liked the fact that it hardly missfired or jammed like some of the other nailers I've used so I bought one a couple of weeks later and it also does the same thing when I depress the trigger halfway down, I use the bump fire feature so I hardly notice the air leak.

has to be normal, i bought one of there AV50AP2 and it did it from when new, thought there was a problem but been like that for years, my NV45AB2 does it too.

Mine leaked a little too. I put some Vaseline on the threads and tighten it good. Hasn't leaked since but it's a pain opening it sometimes

As Rae said I also am not sure what you mean. However you pull and hold the trigger as you push forward (about as far as you can reach) then you release the trigger to stop the liquid flow and slowly pull back on the same track. There is a float in the dirty water tank which will stop the suction. When it does this you shut it off till it drops. The tank is probably full but it could do this if youjerk the machine even when it still has more room.

Hi Sharon,Mine still not leaking after reworked as described by me. Really is a nice design but a minimum care from Black & Decker with us, "victims" of defective products like this one, is desirable.Cheers,Paulo

Paul, I was thinking the same thing when I purchased my new Hitachi. I'm very glad now, I didn't buy the single shot trigger kit, the factory one is fine,just don't keep the trigger held down. After using it for a few days I'm very happy with this tool.Good Luck!

It does not leak, but the gauge and/or the release valve is inaccurate. Sometimes I could wind the pressure up to what the gauge said was 50 PSI with no problems, other times, the release valve would activate at that level. And sometimes the valve would blow at lower PSIs, so the gauge would read 40 PSI but the release valve would engage. For the record, I believe the documentation says the valve should engage at 45 PSI. I don't remember. I ended up buying a regulator from www.micromatic.com, and have been much happier with it.

No, when you pull the trigger it starts to shoot with no control of the number of shots. It is a fun gun. But I have had the problem of the pellets getting loose in the belts, and during firing they come out of the sleeve and jam the gun. I do recommend it though. I use higher psi compressed air and this thing can tear things up!!

When assembly of handle, it is important to make sure the two parts of the trigger levers engage together and not bypass each other. Bypassing will cause the trigger function to not work and water to not release. Any other problem is a manufacturing defect.

Do you bleed the line before removing the tank? I shut off the tank then press the trigger until no more air comes out. I use a remote coil with a quick connect. Doing this I've never had air seep afterward Hope that helps

I have shot without emptying the cartridge and shot again the following day on the same co2 cartridge without noticing any leaks until empty.. Hope that helps

Sounds like you're not closing it all the way, you should hear a snap when it's closed all the way. I have 3 & none of them leak, they've been great!

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.

Mine has a button on the trigger that sometimes gets out of place and stops it from shooting. Also if you don't have the tip seated on the work it will not shoot.

Be sure you have it idling with the choke off first. Then depress the trigger slowly and continue holding it. If you release the trigger too soon or too quickly, it will quit running.

My old nozzle snapped into the new trigger gun just like it did with the original trigger. My old trigger gun began to leak. That is why I bought the new trigger. The new trigger has a quick connect between the hose and trigger handle and between hose and machine.
