1. Start with a Quick Check — and Stay Safe

Before you start turning screws, take a moment to pinpoint where the air is escaping — is it from the nozzle, the hose fittings, or a seal inside the head? Knowing the exact spot will save time later.

Safety first: Disconnect the air hose, drain any remaining pressure, and put on safety glasses. A coil nailer under pressure can give you more than just a surprise.

2. Disassemble and Inspect

Work methodically. Remove the front assembly and keep the screws and small parts in order so nothing goes missing.

Look closely for signs of trouble:

• O-rings that have flattened or cracked

• Seals that are brittle or torn

• Metal parts with dents or scratches in sealing surfaces

Even a tiny nick can let air escape.

3. Replace the Problem Parts

Once you’ve found the culprit, swap it out with a genuine Meite part. This ensures proper fit and the right air pressure performance. Using generic or ill-fitting components might work temporarily, but often shortens the repair’s lifespan.

4. Lubricate and Rebuild

Before reassembly, apply a few drops of pneumatic tool oil to the moving parts. This helps prevent wear and keeps everything running smoothly.

Rebuild the nailer in reverse order, connect it to the air supply, and run a test shot. No more hissing? You’re back in business.

5. Keep Leaks from Coming Back

A little routine care goes a long way:

• Regular cleaning & oiling keep seals supple and effective.

• Clean, dry air prevents dust, rust, and moisture from damaging internal parts.
