chrisorros Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 The punch for the staples is not retracting once it fires one staple. Anyone know how to sort this out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercoulson Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Could be seals but first thing to do is unplug the gun from the fitting then spray a load of wd40 down the hose plug back in and keep firing to see if it clears. A common problem is the plastic sleeve the driver sits in so only real hope is wd40 keithm and chrisorros 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Not WD40 try something better.... GT85 chrisorros 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercoulson Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 WD40 will clean better and not leave quite as much residue, the plastic inside the gun doesn't take to kindly to too much oil, GT85 is great for lubricating metal. Agree WD40 is useless for stitchers etc but air guns it is better plus whatever you put in a gun will come out as well through the vent kobblers and keithm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petercoulson Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Steel City doing that's ok although doesn't do a great deal other than lube the driver it won't get past the seals to get inside the gun. Worth spraying some wd40 into the hose and plugging back in once in a while SteelCityShoes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
