1: Safety First
• Remove the battery from the tool before loading nails.
• Ensure the trigger is not pressed and the tool is not pointed at yourself or others.
2: Prepare the Nails
• Use 18-gauge (18 Ga) brad nails.
• Acceptable length range: 15 mm to 50 mm (5/8” to 2”).
• Ensure nails are clean and undamaged.
3: Load the Magazine
1. Locate the rear-loading magazine at the botttom of the tool.
2. Pull back the pusher (spring-loaded follower) until it locks into place.
3. Insert the strip of nails into the magazine:
• Pointed ends down
• Nail heads facing up and toward the tool
4. Release the pusher gently to allow it to press against the nails.
4: Reinsert the Battery
• Slide the battery pack into the battery port until it clicks securely into place.
5: Test Fire (Optional)
• On a scrap piece of wood, test fire a few nails to ensure:
• Proper feeding
• Correct depth
• No jamming
