HOW TO USE THE GB54B
WARNING:
Operator
MUST
read and understand all warnings and cautions.
WARNING:
It is required that eye protection and hearing protection be worn during operation.
WARNING:
Do not pull rivet in the air. Personal injury from fastener ejecting may occur.
WARNING:
Air is exhausted from bottom of the tool. Direct bottom of the tool (exhausted air) away from operator, other
persons working in the vicinity, foreign matter and liquid.
CAUTION:
Do not use beyond design intent.
The tool is shipped with a plastic plug in the air inlet connector. The connector has a 1/4-18 female pipe thread to accept end-user air
hose fitting. Air is exhausted through a port in the side of the tool. To redirect air exhaust to rear of tool, remove set screw (401816)
from rear exhaust hole. If changing exhaust back to side, we recommend applying Vibra-tite® to set screw (401816) before installation.
(see page 4 for air exhaust options.)
1. Remove plastic shipping plug from handle (510322) and install 1/4" air fitting into bottom of handle (510322). Only use an air
supply set at 90 psi-100 psi (6.2 bar-6.9 bar) equipped with a filter-regulator to prevent wear.
2. Connect air hose with 90 psi (6.2 bar) to tool (3/8” minimum diameter air line is mandatory, 90 psi (6.2 bar) is recommended) and
cycle tool a few times by depressing and releasing lever assy (551129). (Clean dry air is mandatory).
WARNING:
Ensure air hose is securely connected to avoid possible hose whipping.
3. Disconnect air hose from tool.
4.
Select proper Nose Assembly, screw collet and anvil onto the tool and attach securely. (See proper data sheet for further
instructions.)
5.
Connect air supply.
6.
To install screw-on pulling head:
While keeping internal components of pulling head forward in the nose assembly start threading
in the anvil holder, continue threading in until internal component starts to thread onto the drawbolt (541117). Thread nose
assembly in until nose assembly bottoms out. After nose assembly is completely threaded onto tool, back off nose until flat is in
the desired position and tighten locknut.
7.
Insert rivet into Nose Assembly and the application then depress lever assy (551129). Upon releasing the lever assy (551129), the
stem will eject out the rear of tool.
WARNING:
Do not operate without collection bottle (A-1522) attached to tool.
8.
Always hold tool so pulling head is perpendicular to surface of material in which rivet is being installed. Exert firm pressure
against rivet during installation.
WARNING:
Always disconnect air supply when tool is not in use to prevent accidental start-up.
