Bostitch SX1838K 18GA Narrow Crown Finish Brad Nailer and Stapler. I bought a lightly used SX1838. Tested it a few months ago. Took me a minute to get it to fire but it seemed to be fine.

If your SX1838 is not firing when you try to use it on your carpet project, there may be a few possible issues that you can try to address. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
  1. Check the power source. Make sure that the power cord is securely plugged into the SX1838 and into a working outlet. If the power cord is damaged or not properly connected, the tool may not be receiving enough power to operate.
  2. Check the switch. The SX1838 has a switch that allows you to select between two modes of operation. Make sure that the switch is set to the correct mode for your project.
  3. Check the trigger. The SX1838 is triggered by pressing the trigger on the handle. Make sure that the trigger is fully depressed and that it is not obstructed by any debris or other materials.
  4. Check the nozzle. The SX1838 has a nozzle that sprays the adhesive. Make sure that the nozzle is clear and not clogged with any debris or adhesive.
If you are still unable to get the SX1838 to fire after trying these steps, you may need to contact the manufacturer for additional troubleshooting assistance or to have the tool serviced.

How do I take the pin out of saftey neutral switch 2004 monte carlo ls

To remove the pin from the safety neutral switch on a 2004 Monte Carlo LS, you will need to locate the switch and locate the pin. The safety neutral switch is typically located on or near the transmission, and it may be necessary to consult your vehicle's owner's manual to find its exact location. Once you have located the switch, you should be able to see the pin that holds it in place. To remove the pin, you will need to use a tool such as a small flathead screwdriver or a nail to push it out. Gently push the tool against the pin until it pops out of the switch. Be careful not to damage the switch or any other nearby components while removing the pin.

Ingersoll rand irn-20tas-150-L a 68 error code (emergency stop) unit will not start. help please!

You have to twist the e-stop to reset it and once you’ve done this you still have to reset the fault by pressing the reset button on the controller. It looks like a red triangle inside a circle with a line through it and depending on how old your machine is, you may have to double-press the button. If this doesn’t fix it check the BLUE wires coming out of the estop going to the controller and make sure nothing is loose. If all this doesn’t fix it your estop button is probably broken.

My titan 400I won't prime what can be wrong with it?

OK, Just solved this problem with my Titan 400 not priming....After searching the internet I got the clue that it was the inlet ball valve being stuck. Most said it was from leaving paint in the system or poor cleaning habits. I thought "Not me, I always do a good job cleaning the sprayer and leaving pump preserver in the system when storing". But I was wrong. After disassembling the inlet valve housing (shown in the manual) I found the valve ball stuck to the seat. After freeing the ball there was tiny bit of paint on the seat but it was enough to prevent it from functioning. Reassembled and it works fine. So maybe just luck of the draw. I don't use the system too often and it had been 6 months since the last use...still I stored it with line full of pump preservative. Symptoms were that when in prime it would not **** from the siphon tube (supply) but motor ran fine. A bit painful fix but not terrible, exercise cost me an hour, but next time would take maybe 15 minutes to correct. Hope this helps.

Dewalt d55153 runs continually trying to get up to pressure, but can't.

Just a guess but I think you have broken the rings inside. If you keep running it with broken rings you will trash the cylinder inside. I think you can buy a new pump for it if you are not mechanically minded.
