GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR PNEUMATIC TOOLS
Extreme caution should be used when operating all pneumatic tools. Know your tool,
be familiar with its operation, read through the user manual and practice safe usage
procedures at all times.
Keep all guards and safety devices in
place and in working order.
Always make sure to remove all the
keys and wrenches before operation.
Always keep your work area clean and
well lighted.
Do not use the pneumatic tools in
damp or wet locations, or where
flammable or noxious fumes may
exist.
Always keep bystanders away or at a
safe distance from your work area.
Disconnect the power source when
changing drill bits, hollow chisels,
router bits, shaper heads, blades,
knives or making other adjustments or
repairs.
Never leave a tool unattended while it
is in operation.
Do not force the tool. It will do a better
and safer job at the rate for which it is
designed.
Always use the right tool. Do not attach
any part to the tool for which it is not
designed.
Always check the hose for any damage
before using the pneumatic tool.
Disconnect the tool before servicing,
changing accessories, or moving to
another location.
Always check the tool for damaged or
broken parts, loosen screws or bolts or
any other unsafe condition that may
affect the tool operation. Repair the
damaged parts before operation.
Do not overreach. Always keep proper
footing and balance.
Always use safety glasses and a dust
mask while operation.
Always keep your tool lubricated and
clean for best and safest performance.
Be alert! Do not use prescription or
other drugs that may affect your ability
or judgment to safely use your tool.

Read and follow all the instructions
and safety precautions in the user
manual before operation.
For the protection of your eyes, always
wear safety glasses, goggles or face
shield while operating this tool.
Do not connect the stapler to
compressed air that exceeds 120 PSI.
Never point the stapler at others.
Always carry the stapler by handle.
Make sure the air hose is good
condition and long enough to read
your work area without stretching.
Always keep bystanders away at a
safe distance while operation.
Make sure not to drive one staple on
the top of the other. The staple may
deflect and cause injury.
Do not drive fasteners close to the
edge of the work-piece as the wood
may split, allowing the fastener to be
deflected possibly causing injury.
Always disconnect the air hose before
installing staples, clearing a jam,
moving to another work area,
performing maintenance or when the
tool is not in use.
Do not use a check valve or any other
fitting that allows air to remain in the
tool. If used, the tool can remain
charged with air after disconnecting
and this will be able to drive a fastener
even after the air hose is
disconnected, possibly causing injury.
Do not connect the stapler to
pressurized oxygen or other
combustible gases as a power source.
Only use regulated compressed air.
Do not use gasoline or any other
flammable liquids to clean the stapler,
vapors in the stapler will ignite by a
spark and cause it to explode.
Always use the fasteners for which the
tool is designed.
If the stapler is leaking air, damaged or
not working properly, do not use it
before repairing.
Do not use the stapler, if you are not
sure about its indented operation.
Make sure you have read and
understood all the safety instructions
in the manual and you are familiar with
your shaper, before operating it. If you
fail to do so, serious injury could occur.

SAFETY NOSE
MECHANISM
The CX902 features safety nose
mechanism which protects against
accidental firing. When the trigger is
pressed, the stapler will not fire until the
safety nose mechanism is depressed.
Before using the stapler for the first time,
check the safety nose mechanism to
ensure proper function and safe use.
To check the safety nose mechanism:
Make sure the stapler is disconnected from
the air supply.
Make sure the magazine is empty.
Make sure the trigger and the safety nose
mechanism move up and down without
sticking.
Connect the stapler to the air supply.
Without pressing the trigger, depress the
safety nose mechanism against a scrap
piece of wood that is clean and free of any
knots, nails, staples or other foreign
objects.
If the stapler does not fire, the safety
nose mechanism is working.
If the stapler does fire, the safety
nose mechanism is not working.
Disconnect the air supply to the
stapler and do not use the stapler
until the safety nose mechanism is
fixed.
Keep the stapler with its nose mechanism
on the scrap wood and now, pull the trigger
and the stapler should fire.

OILING THE STAPLER
The CX902 Air Stapler needs to be
lubricated before every use. Place three to
four drops of pneumatic tool oil (provided)
in the stapler air inlet every two hours of
continuous use. See figure-2.
Figure-2 Lubricating the stapler
LOADING THE STAPLER
Disconnect the stapler form the air supply.
The CX902 accepts staplers with the
following specifications:
Use arrow T-50 Staples or similar.
Gauge: 20
Length: 1/4" (6mm) to 5/8" (16mm)
Capacity: 100 pieces
Depress and hold the magazine cover lock
while pulling the magazine cover back all
the way.
Slide a strip of staples, pointed-end down
into the magazine.
Push the magazine cover forward until it is
locked in its place.
OPERATING THE
STAPLER
Before operating the stapler, make sure you
have read and understood the instructions
given in this manual.
Always use the stapler first on a piece of
scrap wood; thick enough for the length of
the staples, loaded in the magazine, before
using it on the actual work-piece.
To operate the stapler:
Connect the air supply hose to the stapler.
Check the work-piece and make sure it is
free of knots, metals, or any other foreign
objects that will cause deflection.
Hold the stapler 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 staple in case of deflection.
Pull the trigger and drive the stapler into the
work-piece. Remove the stapler and check
the staple for proper depth.
If the staple 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 stapler 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 stapler and will
void the warranty.

REMOVING JAMMED
STAPLES
Sometimes the staple gets jammed.
Jammed staple must be removed before
using the stapler again.
To clear the jammed staple:
Disconnect the air supply to the stapler.
Push and hold the magazine lock, pull the
magazine loader all the way back.
Now, use needle nose pliers to remove the
jammed staple.
If the jammed staple can not be removed,
remove the cap screws securing the driver
guide cover to the nose assembly.
Now, the jammed staple should be visible.
Remove it with a pair of needle nose pliers.
Re-install the driver guide cover, and load a
new staples stick.
Check the safety nose mechanism, before
using the stapler again.
CLEANING
Always keep the stapler clean from dust,
chips, sand and etc, in the air connectors or
into the body.
Use a good solvent to clean the nose
assembly of the stapler and make sure the
stapler is dry before using it again.
