Unimac Cordless Brad Nail Gun Questions & Answers

Hi Petrus. Not sure what the cause of that is as I've never had that problem and obviously the manual can't help you. However I'm not happy with this nail gun anyway. I have a variety of sized nails but I'm always having trouble getting the right adjustment into pine wood. I've also started having major problems with the nails always jamming. I'm that disappointed I'm actually considering spending the extra money and buying a name nailing gun that I'll know will work. Before the Unimac I had a Ryobi cordless which went pretty well but I'll get something else.

Hi there Thank you for reaching out regarding your Unimac CLS 400. We’re sorry to hear you are experiencing an issue with the tool. Sometimes issues like the green “no nails” light can be related to the sensor, pcb , magazine alignment, or other internal components. To ensure you get the safest and most accurate guidance, we recommend emailing our support team directly at support@edisons.com.au . Our support team will review your case and provide the best next steps to resolve the issue. Regards Hana Social media team

Hi Hana, I have tried contacting Edisons but I seem to be getting the run around. I'm not seeking a refund or replacement. I just want to know how to fix it. Edisons want me to contact Kogan whom I bought it through but I can't see why I need to since I bought it 5 years ago. Petrus

Hi there, To better understand your concern, can you please provide more details of the issue? To ensure you get the safest and most accurate guidance, we recommend emailing our support team directly at support@edisons.com.au. Our support team will review your case and provide the best next steps to resolve the issue. Regards Hana Social media team

Hi Hana I have done that and I am getting the same run around. It’s quite simple. The green light stays on continuously even though the gun has plenty of nails and therefore will not fire.

Thank you for explaining the issue — we understand how frustrating this must be. To help us assist you more effectively, we recommend continuing this via email at support@edisons.com.au This will allow us to forward the details directly to our technical team for proper review.

Thank you for your patience, and we’ll work with you to resolve this as soon as possible. Regards Akira Social media team

Thanks Akira. I managed to fix it by removing the nail magazine and locating the optical nail sensor. It fits into the side of the magazine and has a slot for a tab on the side of the nail pressure plate. I gave it a good blow with compressed air and cleared out a build up of dust which was stopping the sensor from working. I put it back together and it worked perfectly again. Petrus

sorry to hear of your problems. I also had my gun for a couple of years and it was hardly used. It jammed and was unfixable. I tossed it and bought a cheap cordless brad nailer from Bunnings (Ozito, I think). It is much easier to charge, unjam, fix, and get replacement batteries for. As for the Unimac, I suggest leaving it on the charger for 12 hours regardless of the indicator light. Sometimes these cordless tool batteries just need some TLC to get their act together. Otherwise, I am afraid to say the Unimac cordless brad nailer is just an expensive mistake.

I also have one that has hardly been used, mainly because it didnt work with no obvious problem, did some research and found that lots of others had the same problem, so i suggest chuck the thing and avoid endless frustration.

Hi Amilie, I would firstly like to thank you for taking the time to write a review and we do apologise for the inconvenience that you have experienced. My name is Mitch and I'm from the Resolutions team. I am here to assist you further with this matter.

Could you please provide me with your invoice number so I can check your details and get into contact with you?

If you have any additional questions please feel free to reach out to me at support@edisons.com.au or please call and ask for me on 02 8667 7842

Kind Regards,

Thanks Mitch. When we contacted the company recently they said there was nothing to be done because it was out of warranty. Even though it's only been used a few times. So I really appreciate you following this up. I have emailed through the receipt to the email address above.

Hi again Amilie,

Thanks for letting me know! I found the corresondence and the email you sent. Let's continute to correspond from there as I have already sent an email earlier.

Warm Regards,

To anyone who has problems with the cls400 not firing nails. You pull the 4 small inhex bolts out and take the firing pin cover off. The firing pin needs to be pushed back into the gun. It's dumb but i haven't had to throw it out.... yet. If you still want to throw it out, send me the battery!! Good luck.

Might be dumb but it worked a treat! Problem solved on cls500 - thanks!!

Return it for a refund. Buy an Ozito.

Hi Daz, The best thing to do would be to check if there are any jams inside the nailer, secondly, please get into contact with our support team here - support@edisons.com.au We will get into contact with you regarding this issue to provide a resolution.

Thank you

Hi Michael, The Unimac is compatible with industry standard fuel cells.

Cheers, Unimac Team.

We’re so sorry that your experience did not match your expectations. Please help us to improve by providing more information on your experience. We can be reached at support@edisons.com.au

I doubt you have fully cleared the jam inside the nailer. I was unable to repair it after I partially disassembled it to fully clear the jam. I threw it away, went to Bunnings and bought a cheap but easier to fix Ozito nailer.

Its a product designed to frustrate the living daylights out of you. I use mine as a door stop, i agree with jumbeen, throw it away and get something else, avoid the senco its just as bad.

Thanks Jim

Hi Jawad, please see with Bunnings as they have most nails available.

Hi how you put in nails I tried but they won’t go in kevin

Hi Terry, All the parts can be found on our website in the link below: external link  We are out of stock for the battery chargers until 09/06/2022 Thank you!

Hi Michel,

As long as you have the correct nails they should fit correctly provided that you are putting them the right way around too.

Thank you!

To my knowledge Unimac is made in Australia I bought a 3 in 1 Brad nailer and it is a Worthless hunk of junk, I will Never buy Unimac ever again nor would I recommend Unimac to anyone

Unimac is American made

I believe some of the Unimac models take the same nails/staplers but if you are asking about quality of the unit then nothing compared to a Paslode

When my passcode did that their was part of a nail head jammed in the throat.

Hi Brad, I havent used either of those. Unimac is a brand sold by Edisons in Sydney. If you go to edisons.com.au there is a support & parts tab you can click on. All the best. Rob

My question concerned 'Air' Powered Nail Guns, not 'Battery' Powered Guns. The question was in response to a previous post where the user was having problems with the CB200 (Air Powered 3 in 1 Nailer)

I had purchased the CB700 (Air Powered Coil Nailer) - no problems thus far but was interested in where I could get it fixed if I encountered a problem.

Rob - thanks for the suggestion re: edisons.com.au - however the range on line is extremely limited.

I attended Edison at Seven Hills with a view of purchasing the CB300 'Concrete Nailer' if I got satisfactory information. Nobody had a clue about the products being sold - I was referred to their 'Call Centre'. This is in the Philippines. Nice, polite chaps who try their best but limited or no product knowledge.

I will hold off purchasing any further Unimax products until they have someone I can discuss the products with or a least a Service Centre I can take the article to for advice.

Regards

Bob

The unimac suffers a lot of battery failure and Jams yet to remove jammed nails its a Allen key process which if having to do it after every couple of firings gets to say the least very frustrating. I now have unimac amongst my tools to avoid for poor quality, design, workmanship and after sales service my unimac 200 3in1 is a paperweight even replacing the head will simply be replacing one poorly machined part with another. For if the head was machined properly there would not be room for nails or staples to get caught under the punch

No idea. Contact Edisons.com.au

I bought a Unimac CB200 that jammed from the very start nothing I did fixed it, I had to go buy a Bostitch 15gauge brad nailer will buy a Bostitch in future mine came with a 7 year warranty. So I will NEVER buy a Unimac again the one i got I bought from Edison's I believe Unimac is Australian if so it is a great example for not buying Australian

Hi. Mine is till working after I found a loose solder inside the charger that failed to charge the battery, poor workmanship. 100 shots in your case seems normal and the battery seems flat out after that. Please check if battery indicator of your gun is on. If it's on, the gun stops firing and you need to recharge, it should be off if the battery is fully charged. Also check to see if any thing loose such as battery contacts. Hope that helps

Hi, I bought a different model back in 2015. I have had no issues and battery still holds a good charge. Sorry, but all I can suggest is to get back onto Edisons and see if you can get an exchange or refund.

Good luck
