No one hurt Made Jun 30, 2017, sent to the company Oct 6, 2017, published by CPSC Oct 23, 2017
The product, in the report: Pneumatic FRAMING NAILER 21° ANGLE / 10 GAUGE 97511 or 93909 nailer body is dark blue with a black magazine and linkage.
I have a pneumatic 21° Angle Full Head Framing Air Nailer. It is model 97511 sold by Harbor Freight. When it has only a few nails left in the magazine the trigger is blocked to prevent you from running out of nails and leaving a mark on the wood from the hammer anvil.
When the nailer needs to be reloaded I remove the air-line from the gun for safety. I then open the magazine slide to insert a new stick of nails. Once the new nails are in the nailer, I reconnect the air-nailer.
There is a safety on the air nailer to prevent it firing a nail unless the nailer anvil is firmly pressed against the object to nail. The trigger must then be pulled.
On what is now three occasions, the nailer fired a nail as I was connecting the air-line. The trigger was not pulled and the nose of the nailer was not touching anything or depressed.
The nail flew out of the gun at a high speed. Once it stuck into a piece of wooden siding, once through the plastic top of my step ladder and a third time is launched like a bullet across the room.
This is a clear hazard. If some-one was standing in front of the nailer when I connected the air, they would have been seriously injured.
