    It is usually because there is a staple stuck behind it.

    Oh, wait, the DOWN position? I believe it means your staple gun has "bit the big one" But unload it and check for stuck staple before you go shopping.

    It may have a stuck staple or if it has not been used for awhile may need lubrication. Unload it and use a spray lube on it. Let it set for awhile then rap it sharply on something solid. If this does not work then throw harder or farther which ever you like.
