CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1.
Regular service should be performed on this tool for best performance and longer life of tool.
2.
Empty Mandrel Bottle before it gets more than 1/3 full of mandrels. Too many mandrels in collector
can damage the Hydraulic Plunger and/or cause a hazardous condition for the operator.
3.
Insure that jaws are clean and free of metal shavings, dirt and oil. To access Jaws, remove Nosepiece
(#1) and Head (#2) from Riveter. Jaws will be loose in narrow end of Head. Remove the 3 Jaw
pieces, clean serrations with a wire brush or steel wool to remove debris. Once Jaws are clean,
carefully reassemble by inserting 3 pieces of Jaws into narrow end of Head, with serrations of jaws
facing inward towards each other. Tighten Head (#2) onto tool. Screw Nosepiece onto Riveter by
turning clockwise. You will be pushing the Jaws int
o the tool as you’re attaching Nosepiec
e; securely
tighten Nosepiece to Riveter with wrench.
4.
Keep oil at optimum level. With use of tool there may be a gradual loss of oil. When you notice a
reduction in the stroke, you need to add a small amount of oil.
5.
Change nosepiece to largest diameter that the tool accepts. This is necessary in order to test the
tool after the oil has been filled.
6.
Remove air supply to Riveter, and remove Oil Plug (#17) on top of Riveter using Allen wrench
(included).

nozzle (syringe included) down into oil, then draw plunger of syringe back to fill body of syringe.

Screw syringe oil (#SR) nozzle into Riveter in top hole where Oil Plug (#17) was removed. Very slowly
push in plunger of syringe to deliver oil into tool.
Add Oil
9.
Unscrew syringe nozzle from Riveter and insert Oil Plug (#17) back into Riveter; tighten Oil Plug
firmly. Reconnect Riveter to air supply and depress trigger 2-3 times.
10.
To test oil level, insert rivet into Nosepiece (use largest diameter rivet that tool accepts). Check to
see if rivet mandrel can be inserted completely into Nosepiece
–
head of rivet must touch
Nosepiece. If rivet cannot be completely inserted into tool, too much oil has been added and some
must be removed.
