It still seems to me that some sort of plug or spade connector would be more secure than simply inserting the wires in a hole, perhaps there is a logical reason for the design that I'm not aware of.
Unless I'm completely misunderstanding, it sounds like you're doing it wrong. The part the wires are inserted into is a removable plug/connector. You should only have to insert the wires once then you can remove and reinstall the plug with the wires attached. I suggest you take another look at the manual to see how it works.
