Problem Solution
Battery low on charge or insufficient battery size. Check the battery is fully charged. Use a fully charged 4.0Ahr Battery; this will fire approximately 750 nails. 
Nailer not activated. Check the RYOBI 18V ONE+ HP Brushless 30-34° Framing Nailer is activated; the LED will turn green when the trigger switch is pulled without the nosepiece depressed. 
Using incompatible nails. Make sure you're using compatible nails. See: What type & size nails are suitable for the 18V ONE+ HP Brushless 30-34° Framing Nailer?
Nails not in good condition. Check if the nail is damaged or rusty. If so, replace your nails. 
Magazine not in the right position. Check the magazines nail tensioner is in the correct position. See: How to fire nails with a RYOBI 18V ONE+ HP Brushless 30-34° Framing Nailer
Not applying firm enough pressure. Make sure you’re applying firm pressure with the tip of the Nailer depressed on to the workpiece before firing. 
Grip switch not depressed With the nosepiece firmly depressed on the workpiece, make sure the grip switch is also depressed before pulling the trigger switch.
Wrong air tank pressure Check your air tank pressure is at 125psi / 8.2bar. If you need to top it up, see: How to top up a RYOBI 18V ONE+ HP Brushless 30-34° Framing Nailer with air
If these solutions don't resolve the issue, return the Framing Nailer to your local Bunnings store for warranty and repair assessment. For warranty information, see: What's the warranty for a RYOBI 18V ONE+ HP Brushless 30-34° Framing Nailer?
