nstruCtIons
1. Place fastener in workpiece, and position tool over
fastener.
2. Press the tool trigger to begin fastener instalation; then
release the trigger when the tool “kicks back”, which is
an indicator of cycle completion. Remove the tool.
3. If tool is adjusted correctly for swaged condition of the
collar, one stroke will install fastener.
The blind riveting tool features optimised operating speed.
After inserting the blind rivet, the blind riveting tool can be
operated in two different modes:
a.
Pressing and holding the switch:
Press and hold the switch to start riveting. The pulling
process stops automatically when the rivet reaches the
rear end position. The tool automatically assumes the
front starting position when the switch is released.
b.
Tapping the switch:
Riveting is triggered by briefly tapping and immediately
releasing the switch. As soon as the mandrel breaks
off, the blind riveting tool stops and automatically re-
assumes the front starting position.
Eject the spent mandrel by tilting to the rear into the spent
mandrel container or to the front through the nosepiece.
This tool is equipped with
overload protection
. In the
event of overload, e.g. by setting fasteners that are outside
the working range, operation stops, indicated by the 3 LEDs
flashing slowly (1 Hz). Press the switch to make the tool go
back to the start position and it will be ready for operation.
The control detects a blockage on return (e.g. dirt, foreign
object, etc. in the anvil assembly). The tool stops the return
procedure and immediately assumes the rear end position
automatically. The fault is indicated by the LEDs flashing
rapidly (2 Hz). The battery pack must be removed and the
fault eliminated. Then reinsert the battery and briefly press
the switch. The tool assumes the front end position and is
again ready for use.
This tool is fitted with an
acoustic warning device
, which
provides information about the remaining battery time.
Beeps sound to tell the user when to change the battery. This
ensures that the tool will not switch off during operation:
3 beeps and flashing LED lights for 10 seconds:
The battery needs to be changed soon (about 20%
battery charge remaining).
6 beeps and flashing LED lights for 10 seconds after
every setting sequence:
Change the battery after a few more riveting sequences
in order to guarantee safe riveting sequences (approx.
10% battery remaining).
9 beeps and flashing LED lights for 10 seconds:
The next riveting sequence cannot be
reliably carried out. The blind riveting tool is switched
off. Change the battery.
WARNING: The tool moves forcibly
while installing fasteners. Be sure there
is adequate clearance for the tool and
the operator’s hands before proceeding.
Otherwise, severe personal injury may
result.
CAUTIONS:
Tool must be held perpendicular to the
workpiece.
Tool must be centered on the fastener to
ensure proper installation.
To prevent structural and tool damage, be
sure there is enough clearance for the tool to
move during installation process.

1. Remove Battery.
2. Select correct nose assembly for application.
3. Screw in the nosepiece and tighten it.
4. Put the battery back in and activate the switch.
WARNINGS:
When operating Huck equipment always wear
approved eye protection. Severe eye injury
may occur if eyes are not protected. The tool
moves forcibly while installing fasteners. Be
sure there is adequate clearance for the tool
and the operator’s hands before proceeding.
Otherwise, severe personal injury may result
.
CAUTIONS:
Do not abuse the 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 tool efficiency and reducing
downtime.
