Troubleshooting Depth Problems with Your Nail Gun
This is Rob McManhon for Expert Village. If you are having problems with your gun it is generally something you can take care of fairly easy. For example, if your nails aren't sinking deeply enough this is the case here, it is either not set to the right depth, or you don't have the proper pressure on your compressor. Generally I like to have the pressure at 120. This one right now is at 110 and the end line shows the same. You can adjust this by turning this knob here. You just pull out and it would bring the pressure up. I'm going to shut it off now just because the noise. But likewise you can turn the pressure down. This gage here is showing the pressure that is in the tank. This gage here is regulating the amount that is being released into your tool.
