Loading Instructions
1.    Release the Tension Latch

2.    Load the Nails

  • Insert the nails into the rear of the magazine, past the tension latch.
  • Ensure the nails are aligned as far forward toward the nose as possible.
     

3.    Secure the Nails

  • Press the release button to allow the tension latch to spring forward and hold the nails in place.
  • Failing to do this will prevent the nails from being properly secured in the magazine.
