18ga Brad nailer problems

[David Perkins]

I have an accuset A125BN brad nailer that when plugged into the air hose will not shoot until the gun is disassembled and the piston pulled back up. As long as the air is kept to the gun it works fine, but when disconnected it has to be taken apart again to work. I have had this about 3 years and it didn't have problems till it was 6 months old. I don't use it much but lately I am using it more. What can be done to fix or a repair center that could take care of it?
Thanks David

Accuset was made by Senco...it was their lower-cost, workshop oriented brand. Contact them to get it serviced. ALL of my guns, except my framing nailer are Accuset and the latter is a Senco. Good tools and they will take care of you in my experience.

I just got off the phone with Senco and the final conclusion was that the gun needed to be jump started. After a lengthy conversation and the need for 1 new seal it was described to me like this.
1. Disconnect the air and remove all nails from the gun
2. On a scrap piece of wood depress the nose safety switch and pull the trigger
3. Reconnect the air.
The gun should fire once and reset the piston.
Thought this might help someone else if they have this problem.
