IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For personal safety and proper operation of this tool read all of these instructions carefully.
To avoid serious eye injury from fasteners, approved eye protection must be worn by the tool operator and every­one in the vicinity of the tool. Use safety glasses with side shields, goggles, or a wide-vision safety mask over prescription glasses. Eye protection equipment must conform to the requirements of the latest revision of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard Z87.1, Practice for Occupational and Educational Eye and Face Protection. Eye protection which meets these requirements also conforms to OSHA regulations.
Duo-Fast Staples are manufactured to very exact and critical specifications for safe and proper tool operation. Do not use fasteners other than the type and lengths specified for this tool. Using improper fasteners can cause jamming, damage to the tool and serious injury to yourself or others in the work area from fastener fragments, a ricocheting fastener or flying debris from an improperly driven fastener. Do not use a tool that is not working properly. Have it repaired by qualified service personnel.
Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Never point the tool toward yourself or anyone else, whether it contains fasteners or not. To avoid serious personal injury from discharged fasteners, never operate/activate the Trip Lever with your fingers, thumbs or palm of your hand. Respect the tool. It is powerful and can be dangerous if not handled properly. Do not engage in horseplay. Do not modify a tool in any way unless the modification is approved by Duo-Fast Corp. To avoid personal injury to yourself and others, obtain complete training in safe tool operation and read all of this instruction manual before using the tool. Refer to this instruction manual for detailed information on the proper use and maintenance of the tool. Repairs to a tool must be performed by qualified service personnel only. Use only Duo-Fast authorized parts for repair or replacement. Never remove the front jaw without first disengaging the pusher assembly and removing all staples from the tool. If you have any questions about safe tool operation, contact your local Duo-Fast office or Sales/Service representative for help. If no one is immediately available, or cannot answer your questions, please call Duo-Fast at 1-888-DUO-FAST for assistance.
Loading Staples
Be sure you only use Duo-Fast Staples of the correct type and size, as marked on the side of the tool. Using improper
staples can cause jamming, damage to the tool and serious injury to yourself or others in the work area from staple fragments, a ricocheting staple or flying debris from an improperly driven staple.
1.) Lift Handle lid “A” up.
2.) Pull Feed Spring “B” to the back of the tool and disengage it from the Feeder Bar “C”
3.) Slide 2 strips of the correct type and size Duo-Fast Staples into the Magazine through the back end.
4.) Slide the Feeder Bar “C” behind the staples.
5.) Hook the Feeder Spring “B” onto the Feeder Bar and allow it to move forward.
Driving Staples
Swing the tool like a hammer. The Trip Lever will drive a staple as it contacts the surface you are hitting. Do not hit the material being stapled any harder than necessary to drive the staple. You will get a feeling for the amount of force to use after a few trials.
CAUTION—Do not use the top surface of the tool to tap down improperly driven staples. This could eject a staple from the tool and cause injury to yourself or other persons in the work area.
