Did you oil it?

No. It's brand new and is an oil-less model.

This aligns with my experience with Senco nailers. 6 years ago, the
one contractor who did my kitchen gave me his very old/used Senco SN1.
It works great. Then I bought my first new Senco 702XPPro framing
nailer a month ago. The nailer kept jamming fOr 3 times within the
last 10 minutes before I returned it to HD (in the end of the first
week I bought it.) I bought a Hitachi instead. Then now, my second
brand new Senco stapler will return to Coastal Tool. Senco is losing
their quality! (The even worse part is all the XP models are made in
US, as I was told.) And I'll not try their air tool any more.

BTW, the Hitachi framing nailer is very light and very easy to use and
works reliably.

I think I would exchange it for another. It probably has a problem.

Blair, I don't want you working anywhere near me. If you can't be bothered
to disconnect the energy source before working on the tool you deserve what
you get. Usually guys like you injure some innocent bystander.

I hope if you have kids to keep them away from you while you are "working".

Eric, I've got 2 Senco nailer's and never had a problem. Are you running
low on air with your stapler? Have you tried a little oil on the blade?

There's my 2 cents.

I have three of their nailers and have had problems with all of them.
Actually had the big strip nailer go off when I was trying to clear a jam
andturned it inverted and the spring on the trigger had come off and the
trigger fell in, presto, 3 1/2" spiral right through my hand. Senco took
the guns back in for service and seemed really concerned about taking care
of the problems I had with them. Seven weeks later, the guns arrived at my
front door, postage paid and had apparently not even been looked at. I now
try to service them myself, and will never buy one of their nailers again.
I don't think the problems were extremely major with regards to my nailers
and I like the Senco product, but the company that brings them into Canada
is really lacking in customer service and quality of service and repair and
fell down on the job IMHO.

Just my two cents worth
