SETUP & OPERATION
= All compressed air contains moisture and other contaminants that can harm
the internal components of the tool. An air line filter will remove most of these
and significantly prolong the life of the tool. Ensure the in-line oiler has suffi-
cient oil. If an in-line oiler is not available, place 2 drops of oil into the tool's air
inlet at the beginning of each workday. More than this will be expelled from the
tool's exhaust during firing.
= Air Fitting: The nailer should be equipped with a 1/4" NPT male plug for a
'quick connector'. To prevent accidental cycling even though disconnected, the
tool must always be connected to the air supply in such a way that all air pres-
sure in it is released when the coupling is disconnected.
CAUTION:
= All air line components (including hoses, pipe, connectors, filters, & regulators,
etc.) must be rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 psi / 1034 kPa /
10.3 bar or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.
= Disconnect the tool from the air supply before performing maintenance, clear-
ing a jammed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to another loca-
tion, or handing it to another person.
CONNECTING THE TOOL
1. Turn the compressor on.
2. Set the regulator to proper pressure for the size and type of fasteners being
used.
3. After reading and understanding this entire manual, connect tool to air supply.
CAUTION:
= Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others at all times.
= Do not load fasteners with air connected, safety or trigger depressed.
= Always wear approved safety glasses and hearing protection when preparing
or operating this tool.
= Never use a tool that leaks air or needs repair.
LOADING THE FASTENERS
1. Disconnect the tool from the air supply. Do not load or adjust the tool if it is
connected to the air supply.
2. Depress the LOCK (CBN5018-64) to release the MOVABLE MAGAZINE
(CBN5018-53) and pull the magazine out fully as shown.
3. Place a full stick of the desired type and size of fasteners on the FIXED MAGA-
ZINE (CBN5018-58). Up to 100 fasteners can be loaded in the magazine.
4. Push the MOVABLE MAGAZINE UNIT (CBN5018-53) forward until the LOCK
(CBN5018-64) clicks and locks it.
5. The tool is ready to operate.
OPERATING THE TOOL
1. The depth to which a brad is driven is determined by the supplied air pressure.
Test fire a brad into a sample of the material you will be working on and check
depth. If a change is desired, adjust the regulator to supply air at a higher or
lower pressure. Test fire another fastener and check depth again. Adjust as
necessary.
CAUTION:
= Keep tool pointed in a safe direction at all times.
= Never attempt to drive fasteners into materials too hard to penetrate, at too
steep an angle, or too near the edge of the workpiece. The fastener can
ricochet causing personal injury.
= Disconnect tool from air supply before doing any disassembly, maintenance,
clearing a jammmed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to another
location, or handing the tool to another person.
