I have a dc618 nail gun that will not sink a nail even with a well charged battery.
   It worked great for over a year and I use it every day.  ANY HELP?

Check the depth settings on the nail gun........

     Thank you for your response.  The depth gauge is fine if you put 2 1/2 nails in the gun it will only set the nail less then 3/4 inch in and then I have to release the nose of the gun.  If I fire the gun with no nails in slide you can see the drive pin mark on the wood. If I use 1 1/4 nail one out of maybe five nails will sink.


                     Thank you

Sound like it needs to be serviced there is a steel profile in the nailer that will wear out over time and needs to be replaced.
