Abstract

A combustion-powered, fastener-driving tool includes a cylinder and a combustion chamber disposed on top of the cylinder that accommodates a gaseous mixture of existing air in the combustion chamber and fuel injected therein. A spark plug generates a spark to combust the gaseous mixture in the combustion chamber. A trigger produces the spark in the spark plug when operated. A piston is movably supported in the cylinder and driven by combustion in the combustion chamber. A driving blade is coupled to the piston for driving a fastener. A spark controller is provided for generating a plurality of sparks in succession with the spark plug.
