Cordless carton closing tool and method of replacing a carton closer clinching member

A method for replacing a clincher anvil of a clincher assembly of a fastener driving tool, the fastener driving tool comprising a housing;

• a drive track within the housing;
• a magazine connected to the housing and configured to hold a supply of fasteners and to provide a leading fastener to the drive track;
• a driver configured to move downward in the drive track and drive the leading fastener into a workpiece during a drive stroke, and upward in the drive track during a return stroke;
• a mount operatively connected to the driver;
• a motor;
• a connecting rod pivotably connected to the mount at an upper end portion thereof and operatively connected to the motor;
• and the clincher assembly operatively connected to the mount and to the housing, the clincher assembly being configured to engage the leading fastener during the drive stroke and move into a clinching position at the end of the drive stroke to clinch the fastener to the workpiece, the method comprising:
• removing a first connector connecting the mount to the connecting rod through a first aperture in the housing to allow the mount to move downward in the drive track;
• moving the mount and the driver downward in the drive track after removing the first connector;
• aligning a second connector connecting the clincher anvil to a portion of the clincher assembly with a second aperture in the housing;
• removing the second connector through the second aperture in the housing to free the clincher anvil from the rest of the clincher assembly;
• removing the clincher anvil from the fastener driving tool after removing the second connector;
• aligning a replacement clincher anvil with the portion of the clincher assembly;
• inserting the second connector through the second aperture in the housing;
• securing the replacement clincher anvil to the portion of the clincher assembly using the second connector inserted through the second aperture in the housing;
• moving the mount and the driver upward in the drive track;
• inserting the first connector through the first aperture and into the mount;
• and
• connecting the mount to the connecting rod using the first connector inserted through the first aperture in the housing.
