INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this CLARKE Air Riveter.

follow the instructions carefully. In doing so you will ensure the safety of yourself
and that of others around you, and you can look forward to your purchase
giving you long and satisfactory service.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Before use, the rivet gun is oiled in order to ensure that it is properly lubricated.
The rivet is pushed through the hole in the workpiece and the rivet pin inserted
into the rivet gun to take hold of it. Once the rivet gun is activated the throttle
valve allows air through the tool. The pressure of the air forces the rivet pin into
the teeth of the machine which pull the pin up into the rivet. As the pin istaken
up, the base of the rivet expands and this joins the workpiece. The rivet gun
pulls the pin until it breaks off, thereby sealing the rivet.
Pop rivets have limited strength so they are typically used for fastening light
sheet metals. Professionals sometimes refer to these rivets as blind rivets, as the
user cannot see the other side of the material being riveted.
