Abstract
In a nailing machine capable of feeding not only wire-connected nails but also nails connected by a plastic sheet into the nail ejecting opening of a nose portion, the nail shank of one of the wire-connected nails is supplied with shifting the nail shank toward the welded portion of the wire-connected nail with respect to the center of the nail ejecting opening. Further, depressions for containing cutoff pieces of the wire-connected nails are formed in the shifted side of the nail shank, and discharging opening for sheet leaves of the nails connected by the plastic sheet is shifted so that the front end of a driver is prevented from hammering the connecting sheet leaf by guiding the connecting sheet leaf in a direction opposite to the direction of shifting the nail shank of the wire-connected nail.
