Symptom Cause Action
Nose piston does not
stop moving
backwards and
forwards. Air was supplied when the trigger's
main axis was at the air passage
changeover point. With the air supply connected, pull the trigger for
3 seconds or more.
The mandrels do not
break. Air pressure is too low. Adjust air pressure to 85-95 psi [5-6.6 BAR] .
Unsuitable rivets (high breaking
strength) were used. After resetting, remove the jaw and rivets.
There is not enough oil. Carry out air release and refilling.
The jaw is worn or loaded. Clean or replace jaw.
The nose piston
stops halfway back. The mandrel has gone too far inside
the Mandrel Collector. After resetting, open the cap and remove the
mandrel.
The slide pipe or slide guide have come
off. Remove the slide guide and slide pipe.
Remove all mandrels from inside, then
reassemble.
*N.B. If even one is left, the tool will not restart.
The nose piston is
stuck at the back
position. There is dirt between the nose piston
and jaw case. Remove the nosepiece, and clean around the jaw
with an air blower.
*If the trigger is pulled, then the air supply is
stopped immediately, a gap will open between the
pistons, making cleaning easier.
Air has accumulated in the hydraulic
chamber. Carry out air release and refilling.
Air release was insufficient, meaning
that a large amount of oil has come in. Carry out air release and refilling as described in
step 5, and check that the gap in Drawing 1-A has
disappeared.
The grease around the 3-part jaw has
dried, so the jaw has become stuck to
the jaw case. Clean the jaw, apply Moly grease to the back of
the jaw , then reposition the jaw.
The operating speed
has dropped. Air pressure has dropped. Wait until the pressure inside the compressor is
back to normal.
Air has accumulated in the hydraulic
chamber. Carry out air release and refilling.
The grease has dried on one or more
parts. Apply 1 or 2 drops of oil (MOBILE DTE) to the
base of the nose piston and coupler, and move 5
~ 10 times.
*Keep an oiler permanently on hand.
The mandrel is
jammed. The nosepiece is the wrong size. Use a nosepiece which is compatible with the
rivets.
The jaw pusher and slide pipe are the
wrong size. Use a jaw pusher and slide pipe which are
compatible with the rivets.
Incompatible rivets are being used. Contact the dealer or maker.
The rivets are not
being held. The filter is blocked. Exchange cotton ball in the filter.
The rivets will not
load. The nosepiece is the wrong size. Use a nosepiece compatible with the rivets.
The rivets are not inserted properly in
the connecting tape. Find the problem and correct it. Do not use in the
event of damage likely to have an effect on the
operation of the tool.
The plate spring attachment has been
removed, causing faulty positioning. Apply to us or the retailer for repairs.
There is a noise in
the coupler area. The alarm device has been activated. Check the air pressure, and adjust to the
appropriate level.
