How to load a brad gun?

I inherited a brad gun and I don't know how to put the little "nails" in it. Do they laydown like a railroad track, do they stand up straight and you put in a bunch of rows to make them all stand up? Please help.. Thanks

Answers:
What you do, is open the gun first...

There should be a lever on the back, that should lift up and then pull it backwards to reveal the "bed"...

Now, lay the nails on the track...

The larger end, goes up...(yea, sometimes its hard to figure the larger from the smaller, but, there "is" a little pin at the top of the brads and they lay toward the handle, while the end that is small, lay toward the bottom where they will shoot out.

Now close the gun and make sure that your air pressure is around 90 psi.

If you get too low a pressure, then you will get "blow by" on the trigger and you can just chuck the gun because its useless after that...

I wish you well...

the brads come already "glued" together so all you have to do is load a strip into the gun and use.
