POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:
• Is your drive rod damaged? If your Power Set Rivet Driver
is not driving rivets all the way through the belt, your drive
rod may be bent, chipped, cracked, or has been broken off.
– Remove your guide block(s), hold them up to the
light and inspect each hole to make sure the drive rod
is not broken off in any of the holes.
– Check your work area for a broken piece of the drive
rod. If you cannot find anything you will need to
extend your Power Set drive rod for inspection. Follow
these procedures:
1. Make sure trigger locking dial (see page 5 #4) is in
the unlocked position.
2. Place the guide block on SR tool base and insert
the Power Set driver nose directly into one of the
holes of the guide block.
3. The driver nose must be completely inserted so
that the contact arm is retracted. Pull the trigger
to fire the driver and hold the trigger to extend
your drive rod.
4. While holding the trigger, remove the drive rod
from the guide block and inspect the drive rod for
chipping, cracks, bending, or to see if it has
broken off.
5. Point the Power Set Rivet Driver toward the
ground and release the trigger.
Note: If your drive rod is broken, you should then contact your
Flexco distributor to take the driver in for repairs. Any attempt
to repair the tool yourself will void the warranty.
• Are you using Power Set
™
Rapid Loader
™
collated rivet
strips with washers? The Power Set Rivet Driver can only be
used with specially designed Power Set Rapid Loader
™
collated rivet strips with washers intended to work with the
Power Set Rivet Driver. They have a patented flute (washer)
at the end of the rivet pilot nail, which help keep the rivet
aligned in the guide block hole.
Do not use rivets without
washers. Without washers, misfires will occur.
• Are you using the correct size rivet? Make sure you are
using the correct length (size) rivet for your belt thickness. If
your rivet is too short, this may prevent the rivet from
properly curling into the anvil plate of your SR
™
tool.
• Is your metal guide block properly positioned on your
SR tool base? If not, this can result in a misfire causing the
rivet to hook into the belt. Check to make sure the holes on
your guide block and SR tool base line up, and that your
guide block is locked down properly.
PROPER TOOL MAINTENANCE AND CARE
• Never leave your Flexco
®
Power Set Rivet Driver on a pressurized air line for an extended period of time when
the driver is not being used. This will hold pressure inside the driver and can weaken o-ring seals over time.
• Keep the Power Set Rivet Driver and regulator away from strong solvents. Certain solvents will chemically
attack driver elastomers and plastic components.
• When storing the Power Set Rivet Driver for an extended period of time, place four (4) drops of Parker
Hannifin F442 oil into the pneumatic fitting on the Power Set grip.
