Select the proper notch, insert part and push the leads down until they are parallel to the tool. That set has multiple widths to make it easier than the old design, where you had to center some parts in the gap.

These are the tools that were in common use when that scope was built. You might find them cheaper somewhere else, but they are worth the asking price. I've had mine for about 30 years.
