Discussion for the Porter Cable NS100A Narrow Crown Stapler
MY NS100A STAPLER WAS BEING USED WITHOUT REDUCING THE 150LB OF AIR PRESSURE. I REMOVED THE HEAD CAP AND SAW THAT THE CLEAR LOOKING O-RING HAD BEEN BLOWN OUT, BUT IT WAS STILL IN TACT. I PUT IT BACK IN PLACE AND THE GUN RELEASES AIR CONSTANTLY AND WILL NOT FIRE A STAPLE. DOES THAT O-RING JUST NEED TO BE REPLACED OR IS THERE MORE WRONG?
I was using my stapler and it just stopped working. It will make a pop but won't drive the staple. I think the diaphragm busted. Can you help me figure out whats up?
