This manual is intended to acquaint you with the 
Duo-Fast

 Cordless Roofing Nailer. Unlike other power 

fastening tools, the Cordless Roofing Nailer is powered 
by an internal combustion linear motor. In simpler terms, 
your Cordless Roofing Nailer is powered by a motor 
similar to the one that powers an automobile. The Cord-
less Roofing Nailer ignites a fuel and air mixture to 
produce the energy to drive the motor, which in turn 
drives the fastener. The Cordless Roofing Nailer is totally 
self-contained. It carries its own fuel supply and battery, 
along with a supply of fasteners. For ease of use, this 
manual is divided into sections (see Contents). Each 
section of the manual is written with you,the  tool  opera-
tor, in mind. We have left out many of the technical 
terms so that you can easily understand how to get  the 
maximum performance from your Cordless Roofing 
Nailer,  and how to avoid damaging the tool or injuring 
yourself. But, to accomplish this, we need you to do two 
things:

The Cordless Roofing Nailer should be handled like 
other  power fastening tools that you use. Like most tools, 
when used improperly injury could result . If you are 
going to allow others to use the Cordless  Roofing-
Nailer,  it  is  your  responsibility to make sure that they also 
read and comply with the instructions in this manual 
before attempting to operate the tool. Should  you  have 
questions about the Cordless R o o f i n g Nailer, or wish 
to obtain additional copies of this manual, please contact 
your 

Duo-Fast

representative. The space below is pro-

vided so that you may record your representative's
