RYOBI Airwave/Pneumatic Brad Nailer doesn't fire deep enough

Adjusting Fastener Depth & Troubleshooting Shallow Firing

Fastener Depth Adjustment
If fasteners are protruding from the surface:

• Increase air pressure gradually in 0.5 bar increments, checking the result after each adjustment.
• For finer control, use the drive depth adjustment knob on the tool.
   

The required air pressure will vary depending on the fastener size and the hardness of the workpiece material.

Drive Depth Adjustment Procedure

1. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
2. Turn the depth adjustment knob left or right to modify the driving depth.
3. Reconnect the air supply.
4. Drive a test fastener after each adjustment until the desired depth is achieved.

Troubleshooting Shallow Firing
If your brad nailer is not firing nails deep enough:

• Ensure the air pressure regulator is set to 90 psi (maximum).
• Check that the compressor pressure gauge reads above 85 psi.
• Confirm that the Nailer/No-Mar Pad is fully depressed against the workpiece before pulling the trigger.
