PERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE NOTE
Failure to understand WARNINGS may cause
severe personal injury
and failure to understand
CAUTIONS may cause damage to structure and
tool.
HUCKBOLT® Fastener Installation:
CAUTION
Remove excess gap from between the
sheets. This permits enough pintail to
emerge from collar for ALL jaw teeth to
engage with pintail - - if ALL teeth do not
engage properly, jaws will be damaged.
Place pin in workpiece and place collar over pin - -
See
WARNING . (If Collar has only one tapered
end, that end MUST be out toward tool - - not next
to sheet.) Hold pin and push nose assembly onto
pin protruding through collar until nose anvil touches
collar. Depress trigger - - hold trigger depressed
until collar is swaged and pintail breaks. Release
trigger. Tool will go into its return stroke. Tool/nose
are ready for next installation cycle.
Blind Fastener Installation:
CAUTION
Remove excess gap from between the sheets to
permit correct fastener installation and prevent
jaw damage. ALL jaw teeth must engage pintail
to avoid damaging teeth.
Fastener may be placed in workpiece or In end of
nose assembly - - see
WARNING . In either case,
tool/nose must be held against work and at right
angles to it. Depress trigger - - hold trigger
depressed until fastener is installed and pintail
breaks. Release trigger. Tool will go into its return
stroke. Tool/nose are ready for next installation
cycle.
CAUTIONS
BOM® blind fasteners jam in nose assembly if
pulled when not in workpiece.
To avoid structural and tool damage, be sure
enough clearance is allowed for nose assembly
at full stroke.
Do not abuse tool by dropping it, using it as a
hammer or otherwise causing unnecessary
wear and tear.
Reasonable care of tools by operators is an
important factor in maintaining efficiency and
reducing downtime.
WARNINGS
To avoid severe personal injury: Wear
approved eye and ear protection. Be sure
of adequate clearance for operator’s
hands before proceeding with fastener
installation. Be sure that pintail deflector
is on tool and directed away from all per-
sonnel.

WARNING
Do not pull on a pin without placing
fastener/collar in a workpiece, and
also, collar chamfer
MUST be out
toward tool - - these conditions cause
pin to eject with great velocity and
force when the pintail breaks off or
teeth/grooves strip. This may cause
severe personal injury.
WARNING
Do not pull on a pin without placing
fastener in a workpiece - - fastener will
eject from front with velocity and force
when pintail breaks off or teeth/grooves
strip - - this may cause severe personal
injury.
