1. Pull the nail pusher back until it engages.
2. Slide the nail strips into the magazine as far as they will go.
Note
Strips of short nails could be inadvertently inserted the wrong way round. With short nails, take
care to ensure that the tips of the nails point towards the nose of the tool.
WARNING
Risk of finger injury! Fingers could be pinched when the nail pusher is released.
▶ When disengaging the nail pusher, do not release it and allow it to jump forward. Guide it forward
slowly as far as it will go.
3. Release the nail pusher and guide it forward as far as it will go.

for the clip and engages securely.
