Abstract
A fastener driving apparatus includes a motor with an output shaft. The motor is shiftable between a de-energized condition in which it can not be actuated to move the output shaft, and an energized condition in which it can be actuated to move the output shaft. The apparatus further includes a nose and a control device. The nose is shiftable between differently configured conditions, including a first condition for guiding a fastener driven by the output shaft, and a second condition for releasing a fastener that jams when the nose is in the first condition. The control device maintains the nose in the first condition while the motor remains in the energized condition.
