Operating Instructions
Read all of these instructions in order to ensure the safe operation of this equipment.
This section details installing MAGNA-GRIP
®
and 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 MAGnA-GrIP Fastener:
1.
Place a pin in the workpiece and place the collar over
the pin.
nOTe
:
If the collar has one tapered end, that end
must be out toward tool; not next to the sheet.
2.
Hold the pin
in the hole
and push the nose assembly
onto the pin protruding through the collar until the
nose anvil touches the collar.
3. Press and hold the trigger until the collar is swaged
and the pintail breaks.
4.
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.
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.
For complete safety information, see page 4.
CAUTIOn:
Make sure the tool is properly re-assembled before use.
To avoid structural and tool 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.
WArnInGS:
Inspect tools for damage and wear before using. Do not use if damaged or worn; serious personal
injury may occur.
Pulling a pin (fastener) 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 pins that 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. Replace
damaged pintail deflectors.
Wear approved eye and hearing protection.
ensure adequate clearance for operator’s hands before installing fasteners.
Be sure that the pintail deflector is properly attached to the tool and directed away from all
personnel.
Do not pull on a pin without placing a fastener in a workpiece. Make sure that the collar chamfer is
out, towards the tool. Pins eject with great velocity when pintails break off or teeth/grooves strip,
which could cause serious injury.
