This heavy duty riveter is suitable for both aluminium and steel rivets up to 3/16 diameter. Supplied with
four riveting nozzles and two spanners. Trigger operated, with hardened steel jaw assembly and rivet
stem safety cap. The riveter is suitable for heavy assembly work.
The recommended air system is shown in fig. 2.

WARNING!
Ensure that the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi. Too high an air pressure and/or unclean air will shorten
the life of the riveter due to accelerated wear, and may cause damage and/or personal injury.
3.4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the riveter.
3.5. Clean the compressor air inlet filter screen weekly.
3.6. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum hose bore should
be 10mm and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
3.7. Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Check hoses for wear, and make certain that
all connections are secure.
