Loading Instructions

• Pull back the tension latch on the side of the magazine until it clicks and locks into place at the rear or bottom of the magazine.
   

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.

• Failing to do this will prevent the nails from being properly secured in the magazine.
