ATTENTION! If the setting stroke is unknown, first set a lower setting stroke to prevent dama -
ge to the thread. If the nut is not sufficiently set, increase the setting stroke in a small steps
(max. 0.5 mm; half a turn of the adjusting nut). If too large a setting stroke has been set and
the thread of the blind rivet nut is damaged, it must be unscrewed manually (see point 4.2).

4. Functional principle
4.1 Screwing on a blind rivet nut
• Ensuring it is straight, set the blind rivet nut against the threaded mandrel A.
• It is advisable to screw in the blind rivet nuts manually by around a ½ turn to make it
easier to insert through the threaded mandrel A.
• Start the screw-in sequence by pressing the switch G.
• Hold down the switch G until the screw-in sequence is stopped automatically. While doing
this, hold the blind rivet nut secure against twisting during the entire screw-in sequence.
The blind rivet nut must be correctly positioned on the nosepiece B after the screw-in se
-
quence. Otherwise, correct the setting of the threaded mandrel length (see Section 3.2)..
Caution: If the switch is released prematurely, the nut will be screwed off again.
