• a retaining member engageable with the driving tool actuation control member and switchable between a retaining position to retain the driving tool actuation control member in the actuating position by engagement with the driving tool actuation control member and a releasing position to release the driving tool actuation control member by disengagement from the driving tool actuation control member, wherein:
• the retaining member is switched from the retaining position to the releasing position according to the number of remaining fasteners in the magazine, and
• the driving tool actuation control member is switched from the actuating position to the deactuating position when the retaining member is switched to the releasing position.
