If needed, use light, controlled hammer blows to seat the
nail. Slide the connector into the grooves on the insertion
handle and secure it in place using the combination wrench.
Lock the head of the combined hammer in place by tighten-
ing the nut onto the threads located below the hammer
head using the pin wrench if necessary. Strike the connector
directly.
Optionally, the hammer guide can be threaded into the con-
nector and the hammer can be used as a slide hammer.
Loosen the nut away from the threads located below the
hammer head and secure onto the threads located above the
handle.
Note:
If nail insertion is difficult, choose a smaller diameter
nail or ream the intramedullary canal to a larger diameter.
Important:
Confirm that the nail is securely connected to
the insertion handle, especially after hammering.
