  1. No one hurt

    Made Apr 16, 2013, sent to the company May 10, 2013, published by CPSC May 24, 2013

    The product, in the report: Cordless Framing Nailer 7. Battery

    Caller had been having problems with his 7.+ volts cordless framing nailer and it’s dependability to fire as many nails as promised. He contacted the manufacturer on April 8th, 2013 to inform them that the less than one month old framing nailer advertised that it would fire 6000 nails with each charge, however he was only able to fire about 15 to 20 nails before having to charge again.

    He was told that it may be a defective battery and the representative (he did not obtain a name) would look into it.

    He hadn’t heard anything yet from the manufacturer when he needed his framing nailer for work, on April 15th, 2013 he had fired about 45-60 nails and was preparing to charge the nailer so that he could nail 15 or 20 more, however this time when he plugged the unit in to charge it, he heard a loud pop and the battery with nailer burst into bright sparks and flames.

    He extinguished the fire, unplugged the nailer then checked the surrounding area.

    He contacted the manufacturer again on April 16th, 2004 to advise that he was reporting a severe fire hazard with fire. He spoke with [REDACTED] who informed him that she would be sending a replacement over night.

    He is reporting this product as a severe safety hazard and would ask that the public be alerted, this incident happened outside of his home, most of his chargers are in his basement and he states that the nailer happened to be on charge while he was working outside of the home and while he was standing there but if the nailer had been charging in his basement and if he had been elsewhere it could have burned his home down causing property and potential human damage.
