OPERATION
Before performing any service or maintenance to the
air powered rivet gun and/or its componets, always
disconnect the air supply and bleed off any air from
the rivet gun by squeezing the handle several times.
SERVICING COMPONENTS
How to change nose pieces:
8. After assembling and tightening the jaws in the jaw carrier check the
head length of the rivet gun head using the wrench provided. See FIG.5.
NOTE: Be careful that all of the jaws are aligned properly and protruding evenly
through the jaw carrier before reassembling.

AIR RIVETER - 1/4" CAPACITY
1. Remove outer cylinder (#PR14-02) as in FIG. 1 with the
wrenches supplied.
2. Unscrew nose piece (#PR14-01) from outer cylinder, thread the
desired nose piece onto the outer cylinder just 2 or 3 threads.
Please refer to FIG. 3.
3. Next, add a few drops of a good quality air tool oil to the jaws and
also add a little light grease to the smooth principal axis
(#PR14-A09) of the jaw cylinder threaded shaft.
4. Finally, screw the outer cylinder back onto the rivet gun by hand
and tighten both the nose piece and the outer cylinder
with the wrenches supplied.
1. Remove outer cylinder (#PR14-02) as in FIG. 1.
2. Next, using the two wrenches supplied to unscrew jaw carrier
(#PR14-03) from jaw cylinder (#PR14-07) as in Fig. 2.
Unscrew by hand the jaw cylinder holding the rivet gun on a flat
surface this will allow the jaw pusher (#PR14-05) and the jaw
pusher spring (#PR14-06) to remain together as an assembly.
Please refer to FIG. 3.
Be careful when unscrewing the jaw carrier as there is a slight spring
pressure forcing the jaw carrier away from the handle.
3. When the jaw carrier is unscrewed, tilt the nose part of the jaw carrier
at a slight downward angle to help prevent the jaws from falling out.
See
FIG. 3.
4. Before reassembly, thoroughly clean with a brush and lubricate all inner
assembly parts with #10 spindle oil or good quality air tool oil.
5. Assembly of jaws set PR14-04. Hold the jaw carrier in the palm of
your hand as in FIG. 4 leaving about 1/4"
(6MM) space between the
palm
and the jaw carrier.
6. Next, drop each jaw into the jaw carrier at 120 degrees angle till all three
jaws are evenly protruding through the jaw carrier. You may find a small
amount of light white grease will hold each jaw to one another as well as
holding the individual jaws in the jaw carrier.
7. While holding the rivet gun bottom down on a flat surface, reassemble
the jaw carrier to the jaw cylinder and reverse the removal procedure
for reassembly.
When you insert a rivet, keep your hands clear of Trigger (#PR14-25).
Insert rivet shank till the button is seated against the Nose Piece
(#PR14-01). Just prior to squeezing the trigger, put a slight amount of push
pressure against the rivet and work piece. Most of the time when using
aluminum rivets, one squeeze of the trigger will be sufficient to set the
rivet, however it may take more than one squeeze depending on the
length of the rivet and the type of rivet material (aluminum or steel). Make
sure that if the rivet has not set that you release the trigger and push the
nose piece against the rivet button again till the shank separates from
the rivet.
It is easier to replace the nose pieces if you remove the Outer Cylinder
(#PR14-02) there by relieving spring pressure on the nose piece. Please
refer to FIG. 1. You must also remove the outer cylinder if you are going to
replace the set of jaws (3 required) (#PR14-04). Please refer to FIG. 4.
Unlike the older models, the SE1214 uses one set of jaws for all rivet sizes.
Any time you remove the Outer Cylinder, always add a little light grease to
the Principal Axis (#PR14-A09) that the Jaw Cylinder (#PR14-07) screws
onto. Please refer to FIG. 2. You will find that one set of jaws will probably
last a very long time.
Daily: Add a few drops of good quality air tool oil to the air inlet.
When necessary, add a drop or two of good quality air tool oil thru the
Nose Piece (#PR14-01) to lubricate the rivet shank jaws.
Always empty the plastic rivet catcher (bottle) (#PR14-15) after it fills to no
more than 25% of its capacity or the rivets might start stacking upon
one another.
Always keep your air riveter clean and oiled. Use only filtered air from
your air compressor that does not contain debris and water as unfiltered
air can cause premature failure of your air tools.
