LOADING THE TOOL WITH NAILS
See Figure 5.
Connect the tool to the air supply.
WARNING:
The tool’s driving mechanism may cycle when the
tool is first connected to the air supply. Always
connect the tool to the air supply before loading
nails to prevent injury from unintended cycling.
Always make sure the tool’s magazine is empty
at the beginning of each work session, before
connecting to an air supply.
With the nose of the tool pointed away from you, depress
the latch located at the rear of the magazine and slide the
magazine open.
WARNING:
Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and
others when loading nails. Failure to do so could
result in possible serious personal injury.
Feed a strip of brad nails into the magazine. Be sure
the nail heads are pointed upward, the tips are pointed
downward, and the tips rest against the bottom of the
magazine.
Push the magazine cover closed until it securely snaps
into place.
