I’ve just bought a Hitachi NR90GC framing nailer off ebay, which was an hour up the road from me, so I picked it up in person. It’s used, in decent nick (the battery clip is broken but the casing all looks clean and in good shape) and advertised as working. Charged the battery, loaded some gas and nails into it, pressed the nosepiece down against some wood and…
… nothing.
Green light flashes, but no noises of any sort. When I pull the trigger, nothing happens.
Should it make a noise when the nosepiece is pressed down? Should the fan switch on? Some mechanical/electrical noises of gas being squirted in?
Guy seems genuinely annoyed that it’s not working. He said he'd used it for making a lot of decking and tried it with no nails to check it before he put it on ebay. Offered me a refund or to cover the cost of repair by a hire shop.
Any common faults I should look for before I decide to return or get it fixed?
