How to Load 16ga C Brad Nails into Your Nailer
Before You Begin


      •    Use only 16-gauge C brad nails..
      •    Disconnect the battery from the nailer before loading nails.

Loading Instructions

      1.    Release the Tension Latch
                  •    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.

      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.
