Reported: June 25, 2009 Initiated: June 25, 2009 #09256

Product Description

DEWALT framing nailers with model numbers and date codes listed below: Model Number Description Date Code Range D51825 Clipped Head Framing Nailer 20080249-20082749 D51850 Full Round Head Framing Nailer 20080249-20082749 The model number and date code are printed on the nailers (see photographs). Nailers with a "T" following the date code and nailers in the original packaging with a green dot identifier on the cardboard packaging are not included in this recall.

Reason for Recall

The bump action trigger on the framing nailers could have been incorrectly assembled during production, which would allow the nailer to eject a fastener unexpectedly or cause the trigger lock-off not to function. This can pose a serious injury hazard to the user or bystander.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the framing nailers and contact DEWALT for instructions on receiving a free replacement bump action trigger.
