Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0818280A2] A fastener detection system (70) is provided for both internal combustion and powder actuated fastener driving tools (10). A sensor (54) disposed at a portion of a fastener supply path (38) detects the presence or absence of a fastener (46). An indicator (60) notifies an operator when the sensor (54,55) detects the absence of a fastener. In the combustion tool (10), either or both of fuel delivery and combustion ignition may alternatively or also be disabled when no fastener (46) is detected. <IMAGE>
