Hitachi Koki recalls two pneumatic nailer models due to jamming that can override safety switches, risking injury. Consumers must stop using and return for free repair.
The pneumatic nailers can jam and override the safety switch that permits only one nail to fire at a time, posing an injury risk.
Hitachi Koki is recalling two specific pneumatic nailer models because they can jam and override the safety switch, which may cause injury. Affected units must be stopped using and returned for free repair.
The nailers can jam and override the safety switch that only allows one nail to fire at a time. This malfunction could cause injury if the nailer fires multiple nails unintentionally.
Owners of the recalled Hitachi Koki pneumatic nailers with model numbers NR83A2(Y) or NR83A3 are affected. Users who operate these nailers without proper safety checks are at higher risk.
Check the label on the nailer or the box for model numbers NR83A2(Y) or NR83A3. Serial numbers starting with specific letters indicate the affected models.
Immediately stop using the recalled pneumatic nailers to prevent injury risks.
