Operating Instructions
Read all of these instructions in order to ensure the safe operation of this equipment.
This section details installing Huck Blind Fasteners.
Review all CAUTIONs and WARNINGs prior to installing
these fasteners. If the tool malfunctions, consult the
Troubleshooting
section before attempting any
repairs.
NOTE
:
Reasonable care of tools by operators is an
important factor in maintaining efficiency and
reducing downtime.
TO INSTALL A HUCK BLIND FASTENER:
1.
Place a fastener in the workpiece or in the end of the
nose assembly.
NOTE
:
The tool or nose assembly must be
held against, and at a right angle (90
°) to, the
workpiece.
2. Press and hold the trigger until the fastener is
installed and the pintail breaks.
3.
Release the trigger; the tool will perform its RETURN
stroke.
The pressure is re-directed; the piston moves forward;
and the tool is pushed off the fastener and ready for the
next installation cycle.
CAUTIONS:
Fasteners will jam in the nose assembly if
they are pulled when not in a workpiece.
To avoid structural and tooI damage, be
sure there is sufficient clearance for the nose
assembly at full stroke.
Remove excess gap from between the sheets
to permit proper fastener installation and
prevent jaw damage. ALL jaw teeth must
engage the pintail to avoid damaging the
teeth.
CAUTION: Ensure the tool has been properly
re-assembled prior to use.
WARNINGS:
Inspect tools for damage and wear before
using. Do not use if damaged or worn; serious
personal injury may occur.
Pulling a pin without a collar, or with collar
chamfer against workpiece, may result in the
pin becoming a high-speed projectile when
the pin grooves are stripped or the pintail
breaks off.
Serious personal injury may occur
to anyone in the pin’s “flight path.” This
includes pin ricochet.
Broken pintails eject from the
deflector with
speed and force. To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, be sure the
pintail deflector is
properly attached and directed away from all
personnel.
Pintail bottles must always be used with
models 2012B and 2012V.
Do not pull on a pin without placing a
fastener in a workpiece. Make sure that the
collar chamfer is out, toward the tool. Pins
eject with great velocity when pintails break
off or teeth/grooves strip, which could cause
serious injury.
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
do not operate tool with a damaged pintail
deflector or pintail bottle; replace these parts if
they are damaged.
Wear approved eye and hearing protection.
Ensure adequate clearance for operator’s
hands before installing fasteners.
