Hockey_Steve Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 First time for me posting in the forum, because my Dewalt tools haven't let me down until yesterday. The magazine on my DCN660 finishing nailer emptied with four more nails needed. I reloaded the magazine but when I tried to use it the right LED started flashing, indicating a nail jam. I followed the instructions in the manual, and there was no jammed nail and the actuator hadn't stalled in the wrong position. I completed the fix and reinstalled the battery, but I still get the flashing LED. I've gone through the process several times and used a fresh fully charged battery with no joy. Dewalt customer service and my local dealer weren't able to offer a solution, so I've come to the experts for your help. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingless Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Welcome to the forum. Has the stall release lever been fully cycled (requires lot of force)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the driver blade in the down position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkk Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 I give the back of my dcn21 gun a good smack on the ground or tap driver down with a nail set to get the driver to fully retract, the jam release lever doesn't work sometimes, it looks like the head of your gun is jammed in, a small pc of nail? Could just be pic. I haven't had my 16 jam up yet, I did exchange it @ depot last year, first one sounded loud and damaged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royce Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 I am having the exact same problem. I opened the box shot about 10 nails and not it is dead. With Hockey_Steve saying the dealer and customer service couldn't help does not give me confidence. I paid extra to get the Dewault because I though they could be trusted, but the manual had errors right from the start and then the gun failed. I may just send it back and give up on Dewault.
