TOOL PREPARATION
Determine the size rivet that you are going to use. If
setting 3/16" rivets no changes to the tool are
necessary the 3/16” nosepiece is factory installed.
For 1/8” and 3/32” diameter rivets, the jaw pusher
tube must be removed and replaced. The smaller
diameter tube is included in your spare parts case.
To change the nosepiece remove it from rivet tool
using wrench included. Select nosepiece that
corresponds to the size rivet you are using and
screw nosepiece clockwise onto rivet tool head.
Attach air line to air supply. Turn on the air ON /
OFF valve by pushing the deflector ring on the air
connection down. ( Fig. 1.)
Insert a rivet mandrel into the nose piece. The rivet
will be held in place by the vacuum. If rivet falls out
of the nosepiece, vacuum is not strong enough. To
increase amount of suction turn vacuum adjuster
nut located on the back of the tool. (Fig. 3.) If
mandrel collector free operation is desired use the
vacuum adjuster nut with mandrel deflector
(included). (Fig.4)
Place the rivet into the hole until contact is made
between the face of the rivet head and the outer
surface to be riveted. (See chart below for correct
hole sizes to drill.)
Squeeze the trigger to set the rivet. Release the
trigger once the rivet is set. The spent mandrel will
be ejected into the mandrel collection bottle. Never
allow mandrel collection bottle to fill more than 1/3
full damage to the hydraulic plunger may occur. To
empty mandrel collection bottle pull from tool and
shake mandrels out of opening. Firmly push bottle
back onto tool.
