Does anyone own or has used of these?
I work with my dad (both joiners) and we've got 2 framing nailers (Paslode 350 and the Hitachi). I usually end using the hitachi and have noticed if the tool hasn't been used for a few minutes it seems to go to sleep. A better explaination would be:
1. Leave nail gun unused for a few minutes.
2. Press gun into timber to release the safety, the gun makes it's usual noise (same as Paslode) indicating it is ready to fire.
3. Press trigger and nothing happens.
4. Remove from timber and immediately go through steps 1-3 and it works perfectly :?
Is this normal? I don't mind it too much but in certain situations, like trying to hold a stud in position whilst skew nailing into the head and sole plate and for the gun not to work is a complete pita.
I've noticed the Paslode will do this sometimes but very rarely. Is it possible the Hitach is faulty or is it something designed intentionally? By the way, the Hitachi is still pretty new and hasn't much use but has acted this way from the moment we got it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
