Why DeWalt DC608K Nail Gun doesn't drive fastener fully?
- J
  Jerry DavisAug 21, 2025
  If your DeWalt Nail Gun operates but doesn't drive the fastener fully, several factors could be at play. First, ensure that the battery is fully charged or replace it with a charged battery. Next, check the depth adjustment wheel and rotate it to a deeper setting. The tool should be firmly applied to the workpiece. Also, consider if the material and fastener length are appropriate for the application. Finally, the driver blade tip or the driver/return assembly may be damaged or worn, requiring replacement by an authorized service center.

  If your DeWalt Nail Gun tool doesn’t turn on, it could be due to several reasons. Try removing the battery, waiting 3 seconds, and then reinserting it to reset the internal electronics. Ensure the battery is adequately charged or replace it if damaged. Check if the contact trip lock is in a locked position and unlock it. If these steps don't work, the terminals might be dirty or damaged, the contact trip could be bent, or the internal electronics might be damaged, requiring attention from an authorized service center.

  If your DeWalt Nail Gun has a jammed fastener, the issue might stem from using the wrong size or angle fasteners. Other potential causes include a damaged or worn driver blade, material and fastener length being too rigorous for the application, a low battery charge, or debris in the nosepiece or magazine. Also, the magazine or pusher spring could be worn or damaged. For issues beyond fastener and battery checks, consult an authorized service center.

  If your DeWalt Nail Gun doesn’t actuate and the headlights flash continuously, it could be due to a jammed fastener or a jammed mechanism. To resolve a jammed fastener, remove the battery, clear the jammed fastener (push the driver blade back up manually if necessary), and reinsert the battery pack. If the mechanism is jammed, it is recommended to seek assistance from an authorized service center.
