Duotac-automatic
With the Duotac-automatic function, two staples are
shot at the same time. Shooting two staples at the
same time prevents tearing out, e.g., of thin fabrics or
foils. The Duatac-function is not possible when working
with nails.
To shoot two staples at the same time, push the selec-
tor switch for Duatac-automatic 8 upward. To shoot
one stapel or one nail, push the selector switch for
Duatac-automatic 8 downward.
Operating Instructions
This machine is not suitable for working with
19 mm staples. Therefore, do not use the
machine to fasten ceiling panelling with profiled
wood or grooves.
Avoid blank shots in order to reduce the wear of the
impact striker. After finishing your work, set the hammer
force with the thumbwheel for hammer-force preselec-
tion 2 to a low value, in order to relieve the tension
spring.
The machine is designed only for intermittent operation
and will warm up with continuous use. The tacking
force is reduced as a result of heating up. Therefore,
allow the machine to cool off after 15 minutes (maxi-
mum) of continuous operation.
Stapler Plate (see figure B)
With the stapler plate 13, materials with a thickness of
up to 8 mm, such as notepads, seminary paperwork,
thin-walled pressboard or fabrics, can be stapled.
Depending on the click-on position of the stapler plate
13, the stapler tips are bent toward the inside or out-
side.
The data in the following table are recommended val-
ues. Determine the settings for double-staple applica-
tion (Duotac) through practical testing. The staples
used must be 3–4 mm longer than the thickness of the
material.
Support Foot (see figure B)
The support foot 12 enables exact vertical placement of
the machine.
Spacer Clamp (see figure C)
The spacer clamp 14 enables tacking of staples/nails
with consistent clearance to the workpiece edges. The
variable possibilities for clicking on allows for many
clearance levels.
