OILING THE NAILER
The CX901 Brad Nailer needs to be
lubricated before every use. Place three to
four drops of pneumatic tool oil (provided)
in the nailer air inlet every two hours of
continuous use. See figure-2.

LOADING THE NAILER
Disconnect the nailer form the air supply.
The CX901 accepts nails with the following
specifications:
Gauge: 18
Length: 5/8" (15mm) to 2" (50mm)
Capacity: 100 pieces
Depress and hold the magazine lock lock
while pulling the magazine cover back all
the way.
Slide a strip of nails, pointed-end down into
the magazine.
Push the magazine cover forward until it is
locked in its place.
OPERATING THE NAILER
Before operating the nailer, make sure you
have read and understood the instructions
given in this manual.
Always use the nailer first on a piece of
scrap wood; thick enough for the length of
the nails, loaded in the magazine, before
using it on the actual work-piece.
To operate the nailer:
Connect the air supply hose to the nailer.
Check the work-piece and make sure it is
free of knots, metals, or any other foreign
objects that will cause deflection.
Hold the nailer perpendicular to the surface
of the work-piece. Depress the safety nose
mechanism against the wood and make
sure your other hand and body parts are
positioned out of the way of the potential of
the nail in case of deflection.
Pull the trigger and drive the nail into the
work-piece. Remove the nailer and check
the nail for proper depth.
If the nail is shot too deep into the wood,
slightly decrease the air pressure.
If the depth is too shallow, slightly increase
the air pressure.
WARNING!
Lubricate the nailer with a few drops of
oil as instructed in the manual, before
operating it. Failure to do so could result
in internal damage to the nailer and will
void the warranty.
