Abstract
A powered fastener driver includes a housing, a nosepiece extending from the housing, a workpiece contact bracket, a driver blade, and a dry-fire lockout lever. The dry-fire lockout lever is movable between a first bypass position in which movement of the workpiece contact bracket is not obstructed and in which the dry-fire lockout lever is engaged with a first fastener adjacent the fastener driving channel, a second bypass position in which movement of the workpiece contact bracket is not obstructed and in which the dry-fire lockout lever is engaged with a second fastener within the fastener driving channel, and a lockout position in which movement of the workpiece contact bracket is obstructed. The dry-fire lockout lever is entirely removed from the fastener driving channel when in the first bypass position. The dry-fire lockout lever is at least partially positioned within the fastener driving channel when in the second bypass position.
