Abstract:
1. A driving tool comprising: a housing having a handle and a pressure chamber; a pneumatic linear motor housed in the housing and having an output member, the pneumatic linear motor being configured to receive compressed gas from the pressure chamber; a driver blade disposed in the housing and coupled to the output member for movement therewith along a driver axis; a first inlet that is adapted to be coupled to a first source of compressed gas; a second inlet that is adapted to be coupled to a second source of compressed gas; a directional valve in fluid communication with the pressure chamber, the directional valve being selectively operable in first and second conditions, wherein operation of the directional valve in the first condition establishes a first flow path in which the first inlet is coupled in fluid communication to the pressure chamber and fluid communication between the pressure chamber and the second inlet is inhibited, and wherein operation of the directional valve in the second condition establishes a second flow path in which the second inlet is coupled in fluid communication to the pressure chamber and fluid communication between the pressure chamber and the first inlet is inhibited; a shut-off valve disposed between the second inlet and the directional valve; and a regulator disposed in fluid communication between the shut-off valve and the directional valve.
