Troubleshooting – RYOBI 18V ONE+ HP Brushless 30–34° Framing Nailer
If your nailer isn’t firing correctly, check the following:
- Battery low or insufficient capacity
Ensure the battery is fully charged.
A fully charged 4.0Ah battery can fire approximately 750 nails.
- Tool not activated
Confirm the nailer is activated — the LED will glow green when the grip switch is squeezed (without the nosepiece depressed).
- Incompatible nails
Make sure you're using nails that meet the tool’s specifications.
