Restrict Field Service to the Following

CHECKING THE ENERGY LEVEL OF THE BATTERY
RECHARGING THE BATTERY
CHECKING THE FUEL CARTRIDGE
REPLACING THE FUEL CARTRIDGE
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER

Attempts to go beyond these procedures could result in

serious personal injury or damage to the Cordless Framing

Nailer and voiding the warranty.
There are certain problems you may encounter when you

are using the  Cordless Roofing Nailer  that you will be able

to  correct  on  the  work  site.  The  following  field  service

procedures  are  the  only  service  procedures  you  should

attempt.  Anything  else  that  may  appear  wrong  with  the

Cordless  Roofing  Nailer  should  only  be  diagnosed  and

repaired by a fully trained service technician. If you have any

reason to believe that your problem is beyond the service

procedures  in  this  manual,  contact  your 

Duo-Fast

®

 

representative immediately.

Servicing

Adjusting Depth of Drive

To adjust the depth of drive, loosen the work contact screw.

Set the work contact to the desired position and tighten the 

screw.

Fuel Cartridge Check

           DANGER

Wear safety glasses when performing this test. Never

perform this test near an open flame or sparks, while

smoking, or where the fuel may get into your eyes.

Battery  Check

Periodically check  the  battery indicator light  in the handle

of  the  Cordless  Roofing  Nailer.  When  encountering  a

problem, the first step should always be to make sure the

battery has enough energy to operate the tool.
When  the  work  contacting  element  is  pressed  on  work

piece, the fan motor will turn on and blinking green light will

turn solid green. If the light blinks red or glows red, recharge

battery.

           DANGER

Never attempt any maintenance of the Duo-Fast Cordless

Roofing Nailer without first removing the fuel cartridge

and battery. Maintenance should be started only after

the tool is completely inoperative.

If the 

nailerʼs

 fan operates and the light is green but the tool 

will not cycle consistently or at all, check the fuel cartridge.  

First remove the fuel cartridge from the tool and check the 

“Best  Use  Before”  date  stamped  on  the  bottom.  If  it  is 

beyond this date, the fuel cartridge may not consistently 

dispense the proper amount of fuel – even if the cartridge 

has never been used.  To test if the cartridge still dispenses 

fuel: 

1. Hold the cartridge in the upright position with the flat 

bottom toward the ground – this orientation is important for 

a proper test.

2. Gently push the tip of the cartridge cap against a solid 

object five times.

3.  A small amount of fuel should be released all five times.

4.  If  fuel  is  not  released  every  time  it  indicates  the 

cartridge is empty or expired* and must be replaced.

* Expired cartridges may dispense fuel when upside down 

or sideways but will not work more than a couple of times 

in  the  upright  position  because  of  the  reduced  internal 

pressure (see page 9 for more information).
