The tool further includes a safety control assembly coupling the trigger and workpiece responsive assemblies to control operation of the tool. The safety control assembly includes a blocking member that blocks the movement of the workpiece responsive assembly if the trigger assembly is actuated prior to placement of the tool on a workpiece.
