We’ve been authorised by Paslode to service and repair their machines as we meet the high standards they set in service and expertise. We’ll service, clean, test and repair your nailer, then return it to you working like new again!
You can find out more about our Paslode Service here. You can also ask us any questions you have or book a repair.
Our experts have serviced and fixed thousands of Paslodes over the years, and they warn that most problems are caused by a lack of proper care. These machines require regular maintenance to upkeep their performance and last as long as possible. At Kelvin Power Tools, we stock Paslode cleaning kits which provide everything you need to clean and lubricate your nail gun. Learn how to properly clean your tool with our handy Maintenance Guide.
Paslodes can also experience problems when they’re used with other brand’s (including fakes) batteries, nails, gas, etc. As Paslode haven’t tested these third party products, they can’t say whether they’re compatible or even safe to use with their tools. That’s why they recommend that you use official Paslode accessories and consumables. This ensures 100% compatibility and avoids compromising your nailer’s performance and warranty.
You should also make sure you’re using the right Paslode accessories and consumables for your specific nail gun model. Each machine is compatible with certain types of nails, gas, etc. For example, the IM65 can only be used with straight brad nails. You can check which accessories and consumables your nailer is compatible with by looking on their box or on Paslode’s website.
We hope you’ve found our Paslode troubleshooting guide helpful and have been able to successfully diagnose your nail gun’s problem. If you’re unable to fix your machine with the solutions provided in your user manual, then we’re here to help!
