Troubleshooting Guide
PROBLEM
Tool does not fire.
Opening and closing of
barrel or pushing down of
the tool, etc. is not smooth
but is rough or binds.
REMEDY
Check firing pin mark on
power load. Clean firing
pin guide, sear, and firing
pin. Replace worn or
damaged parts. Notice:
Do not attempt to clean
power load strip channel
with wire brush. You may
damage the tool.
Inspect and clean com-
plete tool (see
Mainte-
nance on page 16). Re-
place worn or damaged
parts. Notice: Do not at-
tempt to clean power load
strip channel with wire
brush. You may damage
the tool.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Dirt build-up on sear not
allowing proper penetra-
tion of firing pin or worn
firing pin.
Lack of proper cleaning.
