Help with a SENCO SFN30 Finish Nailer... Hi All,
I have one of the above and recently it has started playing up.
Scoured the 'net to no avail. I'm a rookie in the world of air tools so don't really know where to start.
It's either double striking, not feeding a brad or half driving. I recently saw that my little compressor was supplying too much pressure. So I turned it down.
Could I have done some damage to it by using it with too much oomph?
I'm driving 38mm galv brads into mostly Jarrah currently. Tried it on some left over structafloor; it's doing the same apart from the half drive.
When it operates correctly it's brilliant. It's just not reliably doing it's job...
Any help much appreciated...
The half drive is because it finds the jarrah heavy going; move up to the next size nailer!
As for feed problems, check and clean the magazine, and check that the driving tip isn't burred or damaged, and maybe try a different brand of nails (also check that the nails are the right size for the gun - 15 gauge - AND that the collation angle for the nails is 34 degrees).

You may have blown an o ring, do you oil it regularly? You can get o ring kits for them, easy 1/2 hour job to replace.
I had a life, but my job ate it...
Was it working alright before you turned down the pressure? Your regulator on the compressor may be wrong

Thanks Guys,
Ben, I turned it down to see if that would stop the double hit, no feed which still happens...so that's not it.
Godzilla, maybe an O Ring. It's one of Senco's No Oil range for internal finishing work so, I have not. What would be the symptoms of an O ring issue?
Random, I'll check out the tip. Probably just get a new one for the few bucks it takes. Moved to Senco nails last boxes, to eliminate that. Cleaned the magazine, and yep right gauge.
