TO INSTALL A HUCKBOLT® FASTENER:
1. Check work and remove excessive gap.
NOTE
:
“Gap” is the space between sheets. It
is excessive if not enough of the pintail sticks
through the collar for the nose assembly jaws to
grasp.
2. Put a HuckBolt pin in the hole.
3. Slide HuckBolt collar over the pin.
NOTE
:
The beveled end of the collar must be
towards the nose assembly and tool.
4. Push the nose assembly onto the pin until the nose
assembly anvil stops against the collar. The tool
and nose assembly must be held at right angles (90
degrees) to the work.
5. Press the trigger to start the installation cycle.
6. When the forward motion of the nose assembly
anvil stops and pintail breaks off, release the trigger.
The tool will go into its return stroke, push off the
installed fastener, and eject the pintail.
The tool and nose assembly are ready for the next
installation cycle.
CAUTION: Remove excess gap from
between the sheets to permit correct
fastener installation and prevent jaw
damage. ALL jaw teeth must engage pintail
to avoid damaging teeth.
TO
INSTALL A HUCKBOLT® FASTENER:
WARNINGS:
- Wear approved eye and hearing
protection.
- Ensure adequate clearance for operator’s
hands before installing fasteners.
- Operators should receive training from
qualifi ed personnel.
- Be sure that pintail defl ector is attached
to the tool and directed away from all
personnel.
- Do not pull on a pin without placing a
fastener/collar in a workpiece. Make sure
that the collar chamfer is out, toward the
tool. Pins eject with great velocity when
pintails break off or teeth/grooves strip,
which could cause serious injury.
- Do NOT bend tool to free if stuck.
- Use tool to install fasteners ONLY; never
use tool as a jack/spreader or hammer.
