Senco offers a limited warranty for defects in materials and workmanship for one year from the date of purchase for most of its products. The warranty may vary by product and region, so it's best to check the warranty statement or contact the customer service for details.
Senco recommends using genuine Senco fasteners in its nailers, staplers, and other tools. However, some third-party nails may be compatible with Senco tools, but it's important to make sure they meet the length, diameter, angle, and head specifications for the tool and application. Using non-Senco fasteners may void the warranty or cause malfunctions, so it's at your own risk.
A brad nailer is designed to drive thin 18-gauge brads that leave smaller nail holes and are ideal for delicate trims, moldings, and crafts. A finish nailer is designed to drive thicker 15- or 16-gauge finish nails that provide more holding power and are suitable for heavier crown moldings, baseboards, and furniture. The choice of nailer depends on the material, thickness, and finish of the workpiece.
If your Senco nailer doesn't fire or seems to misfire, check the following: ensure the air pressure is within the recommended range; verify the nail type and size are appropriate for the tool and the job; make sure the magazine is loaded correctly and not jammed; examine the driver blade and nosepiece for damage or debris; and clean and lubricate the tool as per the manual. If the problem persists, contact the Senco customer service for assistance.
