Loading Brads
To load the nailer:
1.Disconnect the air hose if connected.
2.Lift the magazine latch that holds the maga- zine in place. Figure 1.

NOTE
Be sure that brads are in good condition before attempting to load them into the gun. Rusty, corroded, bent, or damaged brads should be discarded. Loading small, partial bands of brads can also jam the gun. Also, be sure that the brads you are using are the correct size and style for the gun.
3.Slide the magazine out and place the brads into the nailer. Your nailer has slots in its magazine to accommodate different size brads. Figure 2.
4.Close the magazine. The latch will snap into place if the brads are seated correctly.

Do not force the magazine shut after load- ing. If the magazine seems stuck, or if it requires more pressure than normal to slide the magazine into it’s “firing” position, slide it back out and remove the brads. Try slid- ing the magazine while empty. If the maga- zine slides easily, open again, reload, and try to secure it.
If the magazine has difficulty closing when empty, inspect for a loose brad or other for- eign object that may be jammed between the magazine slide and the frame of the gun.
CAUTION: Disconnect the gun from its air source whenever you need to inspect or service the gun. Failure to do so could result in misfire and potential injury to the operator or others in the work area.
