255 Blankdraulic Installation Tool (HK1014)
Operating Instructions
Read and understand all of these instructions in order to ensure the safe operation of this equipment.
WARNINGS:
Do not pull on a fastener without first
placing it in a work piece. The fastener will
eject forcibly when the pintail breaks off,
which may cause serious injury.
Inspect tools for damage and wear before
using. Do not use if damaged or worn;
serious personal injury may occur.
For fasteners intended to be used with
separate collars: Pulling a fastener without
a collar, or with collar chamfer facing
the workpiece, may result in the fastener
becoming a high-speed projectile when the
grooves are stripped or pintail breaks off.
Serious personal injury may occur to anyone
in the flight path. This includes pins that
ricochet.
Broken pintails eject from the deflector
with speed and force. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, be sure the pintail
deflector is directed away from all personnel.
CAUTIONS:
Ensure the tool has been properly
reassembled prior to use.
Remove excess gap from between sheets.
There must be enough pintail protruding
from the collar for all of the jaw teeth to
grip the pintail grooves. If all jaw teeth
do not engage properly, the jaws will be
stripped or damaged.
Blind fasteners may jam in nose assembly if
they are pulled when not in workpiece.
To avoid structural and tooI damage, be
sure there is sufficient clearance for the
nose assembly at full stroke.
Do not abuse the tool by dropping it,
using it as a hammer, or otherwise causing
unnecessary wear and tear.
Reasonable care of installation tools by
operators is necessary to maintain tool
efficiency and reduce downtime.
LOCKBOLT FASTENER INSTALLATION
Place pin in work hole and place collar over
pin. See WARNING. (If Collar has only one tapered end,
that end must be out toward tool, not next to sheet.)
Hold pin and push nose assembly onto pin protruding
through collar until nose assembly anvil touches collar.
Depress trigger and hold depressed until collar is
swaged and pintail breaks. Release trigger and tool will
go into return stroke. The tool and nose assembly are
ready for the next fastener installation cycle.
BLIND FASTENER INSTALLATION
Remove excess gap from between the sheets to
permit correct fastener installation. Fastener may be
placed in work hole or in end of nose assembly. See
WARNING. In either case, tool and nose assembly must
be held against work and at right angles to it. Depress
trigger and hold it depressed until fastener is installed
and pintail breaks. Release trigger and tool will go into
its return stroke. The tool and nose assembly are ready
for next fastener installation cycle.
