An electric nail gun includes a supporting frame, a swing arm, a driving unit, and a safety unit. The swing arm has a driven segment and is pivotable relative to the supporting frame between a standby position and a shooting position. The driving unit includes a driving member in contact with the driven segment of the swing arm and operable for moving the swing arm towards the shooting position. The safety unit has a stopping member that is driven by the driving member to move relative to the driven segment between a stopping position, where the stopping member blocks movement of the driven segment, and a releasing position, where the movement of the swing arm towards the shooting position is permitted.
