NAIL LOADING
WARNING! Always load nails into the tool’s magazine before the air supply is connected. Connecting the air
supply after loading nails reduces the risk of unintentionally driving a nail and injuring yourself or
someone else.
WARNING! When loading the tools magazine, check that the nail tips contact the wear rail and slide smoothly
against the surface of the magazine. If the nails are not loaded properly, the tool will misfire and nails can be
deflected, causing the tool to react in an unexpected manner, and damage the tool.
