Loading the Instrument
1. Cock the instrument by drawing the plunger back until
it locks into place.
2. Grasp blister backing paper and peel away to expose
the sterilized rigid plastic mount that holds the studs
and clasps. BE SURE NOT TO TOUCH THE STUDS once the
package is opened or the sterilization will be lost
(Figures 6-1 & 6-2).

3. Being careful not to touch the studs, flip the plastic
mount up with the index finger enough to grasp the sides
of the mount with the thumb and middle finger (Figures
7-1 & 7-2). Lift the mount out of the sterile container.

The studs should be at the bottom of the mount and
the clasps at the top of the mount (Figure 7-3).

4. Insert one stud head into the stud
adapter and pull the mount straight up to release the
stud from the mount (Figure 8).

5. While keeping the instrument in the upright position,
slide the corresponding clasp (located directly above
the stud) into the clasp retainer at the end of the
instrument (Figure 9).
