user-Maintenance instructions

  procedures not specifically explained in this manual must 

be performed only by a qualified technician.

tO prEVEnt SEriOuS inJury FrOM acciDEntaL OpEratiOn: 

turn off the tool, detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure in the tool, and 

release the trigger before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.

tO prEVEnt SEriOuS inJury FrOM tOOL FaiLurE: 

Do not use damaged equipment.  if abnormal noise, vibration, 

or leaking air occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.

tO prEVEnt SErOuS inJury FrOM EXpLOSiOn:   

Lubricate the tool only with specified lubricants.  Lubricate the air inlet using only 

pneumatic tool oil.  Other lubricants may damage the mechanism and may be 

highly flammable, causing an explosion.

cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication

note:

  These procedures are in addition to the regular checks and maintenance 

explained as part of the regular operation of the air-operated tool.
1. 

BEFOrE EacH uSE,

 inspect the general 

condition of the tool.  Check for:
•  loose hardware or housing 
•  misalignment or binding of moving parts
•  cracked or broken parts 
•  any other condition that may 

affect its safe operation.

2. 

aFtEr EVEry uSE,

 wipe exterior with a clean, 

damp cloth using a mild detergent or isopropyl 

alcohol.  Do not immerse the tool in liquids.

3. 

Daily - air Supply Maintenance: 

Every day, maintain the air supply according 

to the component manufacturers' instructions.   

Maintain the lubricator's oil level.  

Drain the moisture filter regularly.    

Performing routine air supply maintenance 

will allow the tool to operate more safely 

and will also reduce wear on the tool.

4. 

Quarterly (every 3 months) – 

tool Disassembly, cleaning, and inspection: 

Have the internal mechanism cleaned, inspected, 

and lubricated by a qualified technician.

Jaw cleaning and replacement

1.  Unscrew and remove the Outer 

Cylinder using the Wrench.

2.  Unscrew and remove the Jaw Case 

from the Jaw Cylinder.

3.  Remove the Jaws from the Jaw Case.

8.  Hold the Riveter firmly against the workpiece 

and squeeze the Trigger to activate the 

Riveter, then release the Trigger.

9.  Check to be sure the rivet looks solid and 

securely locks the workpiece together.

•  If the installed rivet is too loose, the workpiece 

sections are not locked together and will move.  

This indicates the rivet pin was not adequately 

pulled through the workpiece.  Either the 

wrong size rivet was used or the Jaw Case is 

too loose and not gripping the rivet pin well 

enough to pull it fully through the workpiece.
•  A concave, deformed, or broken rivet head 

indicates the rivet pin was pulled too far into the 

workpiece.  Either the wrong size rivet was used 

or the Jaw Case is too tight and not properly 

releasing the rivet pin during installation.

10. If the tool requires more force to accomplish 

the task, verify that the tool receives sufficient, 

unobstructed airflow (CFM) and increase the 

pressure (PSI) output of the regulator up to the 

maximum air pressure rating of this tool.

cautiOn!  tO prEVEnt inJury FrOM 

tOOL Or accESSOry FaiLurE: 

Do not exceed the tool’s  

maximum air pressure rating.

 

If the tool does not have sufficient force at 

maximum pressure and sufficient airflow, 

then a larger tool may be required.
11.  After use, release the trigger, detach the air supply, 

and safely discharge any residual air pressure in 

the tool.  Clean external surfaces of the tool as 

described in 

user-Maintenance instructions

.  

Store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
