UK plugs (BS1363) are only rated to 13A, although technically speaking the 13A fuse fitted is there to protect the cable in the event that it goes short and goes on fire.
Is this nail gun for consumers? UK plug? It may be that despite the surge in current it initially demands, it should be safe to use on a 13A line due to the average current which it draws which is probably not very much.

Another question; sorry...
I can only seem to find extension cables rated to 13A with their own rcd yet the nail gun manufacturer page states that I may need 30A CB and my 16A MCB is tripping so I'm guessing that's not going to work?
