Instructions for using your BDM magazine loader  

The following tips will ensure that you get the best possible performance and longevity from your loader.

1.      Fill the loader hopper before inserting the magazine into the loader. Hold the magazine in your left hand with the hopper and magazine at about a 45 degree angle away from your body You should be able to see the rounds through the recess in the top of the loader as they enter the magazine. See illustration below.  

2.      Turn the loader knob clockwise (the top of the knob will be turned away from you) with your right hand. Turn the knob smoothly with a slight hesitation as each round is loaded to allow the loader to feed and position the next round. Shake the loader occasionally to keep the rounds feeding to the magazine lips.  

3.      If excessive resistance is felt before the magazine is full rotate the knob backward to properly reposition the last round for loading. If this does not resolve the issue the magazine is either fully loaded or jammed. Forcing the loader knob may damage the loader, magazine or ammo. Before removing the magazine from the loader turn the knob backwards until it stops to prevent the loader from spilling ammo  

4. The red loader rotor will get dirty with use and will need to be cleaned. The need to clean the rotor will be obvious by the buildup of a dark residue and a reduction in loader efficiency.  A Q tip dipped in isopropyl alcohol or other mild solvent will effectively clean the rotor without harm.
