Instructions for use
1. Read and ensure that you understand
the Safety Guidelines at the front of this
manual. Also, read and ensure that you
understand the Specification, Noise,
Vibration and Principal of Operation
information shown on page 4.
2. Ensure that the hole in the material to
be joined is prepared in accordance with
the information shown on the Engineering
Standards for the fastener being installed.
3. Ensure that the grip length of the
fastener to be installed is correct for the
material thickness to be joined, (refer to
the appropriate Engineering Standards for
the fastener being used).
4. Ensure that the equipment has been
prepared for use, (refer to the section in
this manual "Preparation for Use").
W ARNING
DO NOT OPERATE TOOLS WITHOUT
PINTAIL DEFLECTORS. UNSHIELDED
EYES, ESPECIALLY, MAY BE
P E R M A N T LY INJURED AND OTHER
SEVERE INJURIES MAY BE CAUSED
BY FLYING PINTAILS. WHEN A
DEFLECTOR IS IN PLACE ON THE
TOOL, BROKEN PINTAILS WILL STILL
EJECT WITH SPEED AND FORCE. BE
SURE THE PINTAIL DEFLECTOR IS
DIRECTED SAFELY.
5. Insert the fastener into the prepared
hole.
6. Hold the Installation Tool firmly by the
handle with the hand in a position that
enables finger operation of the Air Trigger.
If necessary, use the other hand to
support the Installation Tool by holding the
Air Cylinder of the tool. D O N O T place the
hand arround the Nose Assembly. If a
Pintail Collector Bottle or Bag is not fitted
to the Installation Tool, ensure the
Deflector is positioned safely so that the
ejected Pintails will not cause injury to
yourself or fellow workers.

7. Place the Nose Assembly over the
Pintail of the fastener and gently push
forward until the Anvil of the Nose
Assembly is in contact with the fastener.
Operate the Air Trigger.
8. When the fastener Pintail fractures, (at
the same time the Installation Tool may be
released from the installed fastener),
release the Trigger. The Installation Tool
Piston and inner components of the Nose
Assembly will now return to the fully
forward position, (return stroke), ready to
install the next fastener; this normally
takes about one second.
To avoid damage to the Nose Assembly,
DO NOT place the Nose Assembly over
the Pintail of a fastener until the return
stroke is completed.
9. If a Pintail Collector Bottle or Bag is
fitted to the Installation Tool, empty at
regular intervals using authorised disposal
proceedures.
Failure to do this will could result in
Pintails causing a blockage in the
Installation Tool and/or Nose Assembly
resulting in serious damage to
components.
10. In the event of a mains air supply
failure coincident with a fastener retained
in the Nose Assembly of the Installation
Tool, the Installation Tool and Nose
Assembly must be placed in a safe
location to prevent inadvertent operation
of the Trigger once power is restored.
