-How Do I Load a Palm Nailer
If you’re new to palm nailers, the process of loading one may seem a bit daunting. But don’t worry! We’ll walk you through the steps so that you can get started using your new tool.
To load a palm nailer, first make sure that the magazine is empty. To do this, open the magazine and look inside to see if there are any nails remaining. If there are, use a nail extractor to remove them.
Once the magazine is empty, it’s time to load in fresh nails. Start by inserting one end of a strip of nails into the loading slot at the top of the magazine. Then gently push down on the strip until it’s seated in the slot.
Make sure that the nails are facing in the correct direction before continuing.
Continue loading strips of nails into the magazine until it’s full. Once all of the strips are loaded, close up the magazine and you’re ready to start nailing!
