Loading Nails

ALWAYS WEAR ANSI APPROVED IMPACT SAFETY GOGGLES WHEN RELOADING OR DOING ANY OTHER MAINTENANCE ON THIS TOOL. Other people in the work area must also wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles.

Always disconnect the air nailer from the air supply when loading the magazine. Grasp the finger grip at the lower left side of the magazine, and pull the slide firmly back until it latches. (See the photo section below.) Insert a strip of clipped-head nails, point down, into the loading slot on top of the magazine. You may load 3, or more, strips, depending on the size of the nails. When ready, pull rearward on the finger grip to relieve spring tension, and press the magazine latch in to release the slide. Hold the slide grip to allow it to close gently.
