Problems with paslode, can anyone help please?

[mark v]

I have recently purchased a Paslode IM350 first fix nail gun but when I came to use it today on T+G flooring, it fired two nails at a time about every 5 shots. Does anyone know what the problem could be please. cheers for any replies.

If I were you I would stop using it and take it back to the shop. If it starts chucking extra nails about it could be a bit dangerous.

i wonder are the nails the right size for the gun?

i am thinking that perhaps the nails are 1/5 too small so when the 5th one comes along 2 will fit, so it fires both

I have had this with my im350+ once and also my mates im350.
Is it old nails you are using or have they got wet at all?

I'm assuming you are using Paslode nails?

If so, it could be a fault with the gun, incorrect loading or wrong size nails.

Go back to the shop for assistance.
