I have the 18 gauge cordless Brad nailer for installing baseboards. I’ve been running into some issues using it that I don’t think are user error.

1. I’ll have the nailer flush with board, with the deepest setting and I am getting nails that stick out. This seems to occur randomly.

2. It seems like every 3 or 4 nails, it triggers the jam mechanism and the light flashes. I go through the reset procedure and it works again. Haven’t had a real jam yet and battery charge was fine.

I think I got a defective one but there could be user error I am missing. Would you return this or is there some additional troubleshooting that has resolved this? Or is this just expected with the cordless nailer?
