Good day mate i want you to know after seeing your video i was able to do the same thing to my gun. It is the older model ICMT. i was thinking my gas was outdated only a year past the expiration date. You my friend are a money saver i want to personally say thank you. wow i just noticed you made this video 10 years ago. thank God for all these RU-vid videos that help all who are in need of these repairs. Thank you once again!
Awesome, thank you! Mine was a Fotga brand adapter (same as yours I think). I should check the attaching mechanism before putting these adapters on. The M43/M42screw adapters work well, but I think I'll keep my Nikon lenses attached to Nikon F mounts only from now on.
Nice video. I received one of these from a friend and it didn't work. I took it apart and found fan shaft very bent and not working. Replaced that motor, and it cranked right up, but would not fire a nail. Put it away for a few weeks. Saw your video and thought this might be my issue. however now gun is dead. I can't even get light to come on in handle. Fan will not work. I can't find any info to address this. battery was out during storage and gun inside carrier, and in my house. Batteries and canisters both work well in another gun. Gun just seems to have lost a connection somewhere. Reset button??? Can you help me.
See if it works??..............Do you know what you are doing? Sorry mate it's just a mirco switch and you could have put the battery in ONLY and proved your results. I figure you still have a problem and will have to replace the spark unit!. Let us know if I am wrong. Cheers
@@skinny3491 Biggest problem as an electrical tech YOU did not prove by showing it worked. I have a major problem with what you are trying to say when in fact if you knew what you were doing you could have just gently bent the tang for the roller. Also just by pushing the micro switch will not and I repeat will not make it fire. You have to push the trigger and microswitch at the same time. It is a part of the safety built into the unit. LMAO
I'm going to try it out. Trying to sell mine after not using it for a while and got it to worked 3 times in a row, its fan seams noiser than I remember so will give it a army test
Thanks much. Totally worked for me this second method with a safety pin I used. The Vello Lens Adapter Micro 4/3 to Canon was stuck on my manual Canon lens. Life saver method here! Thank you thank you!
these things are a piece of s#&@ , i bought the 3.0 about five or six years ago to nail some 2x10 together for my raised beds, shot maybe 30 nails! put it up in my basement (which is climate controlled and now, it won't shoot a nail, it worked the day i bought it! now after 5-6 years sitting! it won't work! this was a 5or 6 hundred dollar mistake!!
I know you're almost certainly not going to see this but incase anyone else who appears to have a similar issue does (after storing them for ages) THE GAS HAS A USE BY DATE!!! It loses its "bang" and therefore obviously won't work, buy some "fresh" gas and I'm sure it'll be fine.
All the other videos on this issue were long as fuck and ultimately unhelpful, but yours was concise and got straight to the point. Now I can actually use my af-nex adapter again. Thanks a ton man.
Mate, you are a legend! Same thing happened. Got it off with your first method and went straight into workshop and filed it down. Works a treat now. Thanks!
