Campbell Hausfeld Frame Nailer

I Recently Brought A Campbell Hausfeld Framing Nailer And It Worked Find At First However Now The Exhaust Vent Keeps A Constant Flow Of Air Comming Out Which In Turn Makes It Hard For My Compressor To Maintain The Necessary Psi The Nailer Still Drives Nails But Not Through So I'm Left Grabbing My Hammer Again To Finish The Job

Is There Anyone Who Has A Similar Nailer That Can Tell Me If There Mailer Does The Same?

Or Just Anyone More Experienced That Could Tell Me Is This Normal For A Framing Nailer

Did you oil it as needed? This operation is not normal, you may want to return it.

Just from looking at the online prices, that doesn't look like a very high quality product.

There's something wrong with it, the exhaust vent should not have a constant flow of air coming from it.

I remember that my boss bought a kit with three CH guns, including a framing nailer, for less than I paid for my Porter-Cable framer alone.
