Repetitive cycle tool logic and mode indicator for combustion powered fastener-driving tool

摘要

A combustion-powered fastener-driving tool (10) includes a combustion-powered power source (14), a workpiece contact element (32) reciprocable relative to the power source (14) between a rest position and a firing position, a control system (67) operationally associated with the power source, a trigger (26) connected to the control system (67) providing operator interface with the control system (67). The control system (67) is configured so that an operator may select between a sequential firing mode in which the trigger (26) must be released between firings, and a repetitive cycle mode in which the trigger is continually depressed between firings. The trigger (26) is connected to the control system (67) so that at least one of the frequency and duration of pulling of the trigger (26) converts the operating mode from the sequential mode to the repetitive cycle mode.
