TTI Consumer Power Tools is recalling about 64,000 RIDGID 18-Volt Brushless 21-Degree and 30-Degree Framing Nailers because the safety engagement system can malfunction. The nailers may unexpectedly fire a nail when only the trigger is pulled, which should only happen when both the nose-piece is depressed and the trigger is pulled simultaneously. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled tools and contact the company for a free software repair via a prepaid shipping label.
The tool's dual-action engagement system can fail, causing the nailer to involuntarily discharge a nail when the trigger is pulled alone. This defect poses a serious risk of laceration or puncture injuries to the user or anyone nearby.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled nailers and visit powertools.ridgid.com/recall to determine if their nailer is included in the recall and for instructions on how to obtain a free repair. TTI Consumer Power Tools will send a prepaid label to the consumer to return the recalled nailer, the software in the nailer will be updated, and then the nailer will be shipped back to the consumer.
Only nailers without either a black ink mark or a punched hole next to the serial number on the data plate are included.
