4 –OPERATION
4.1 –TOOL PREPARATION
1. Prior to each operation of the Riveter, you must choose the size rivet you’ll be using. If setting diam.
6,0 –6,4 - 7,8 mm rivets, no changes to the tool are necessary.
2. If setting 4,0 - 4,8 mm rivets, you need to remove Jaw Pusher (#5) and replace it with Pusher Tube
(#21), to pull 3,0 –3,2 mm rivets, change #5 and replace (#22.) To do this, remove Nosepiece (#1)
and Head (#2) from Riveter. (Use 11mm wrench to loosen Nosepiece.) Unscrew Jaw Housing (#3)
from Jaw Housing Coupler(#7); when Housing is removed, Jaw Pusher (#5) as well as 3 pieces of Jaws
(#4) will be loose inside Housing. Remove Jaw Pusher (#5) and set the correct pusher tube.
3. Place metal (tube) end of Pusher Tube inside Spring (#6) that now protrudes from tool. Replace Jaws
back into Housing (as detailed in step 4); screw Housing back onto Jaw Housing Coupler (#7).
Securely tighten Housing onto Coupler, using 14mm wrench (included in Accessory bag). Hold
Coupler securely with another 14mm wrench to prevent it from turning while tightening Housing
onto it.
4. NOTE: Jaws must be correctly positioned inside Housing for optimal performance. Place 3 pieces of
Jaws down into small end of Housing. The narrow ends of jaws face downward and protrude out the
small end of Housing. The long serrated edges face inward toward each other. Make sure that the 3
jaws are in the correct position. The riveter will not operate correctly if Jaw pieces are not properly
inserted. You may need to adjust how far each piece of Jaw protrudes through small opening, to
insure they are equally distributed.
5. Carefully screw Head (#2) back onto tool securely. Making sure the Jaw pieces stay in place. Lastly,
screw correct Nosepiece onto tool (corresponding to rivet size you are using). Note: you will be
pushing jaws back into tool slightly as you are attaching Nosepiece. Use 11mm Wrench (included in
Accessory bag) to tighten Nosepiece onto tool.
6. Attach Mandrel Bottle (#95), to screw it onto the back of the tool.
4.2 –OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Attach a ¼” NPT (Quick Connect Valve) to the Universal Joiner (#45). Plug air supply into Quick
Connect Valve; air supply should operate at no higher than 110 PSI.
2. Squeeze Lever (#89) to start the vacuum system
3. Insert mandrel of rivet into Riveter. Rivet will be held in Riveter by air vacuum. If rivet falls out of
tool, vacuum is not strong enough. Amount of vacuum can be adjusted via Regulator (#83). Turn
this screw counter-clockwise to increase vacuum, or clockwise to decrease vacuum.
4. Mandrel will be ejected into Mandrel Bottle once Trigger is released.
