Tool Preparation before Operation
1. Prior to each operation of the Riveter, you must choose the size rivet you’ll
be using. If setting 3/16”, 1/4” rivet, make sure the nosepiece on tool
corresponds to the size of rivet being used as well as jaw pusher. No
further changes to the tool are necessary.
2. To change nosepiece only: remove Nosepiece (#1) from Riveter. Unscrew
by turning Nosepiece counter-clockwise. Choose Nosepiece that
corresponds to size rivet you are using. Screw Nosepiece onto Riveter by
turning clockwise (you will be pushing the Jaws into the tool as you’re
attaching Nosepiece). Use the 11mm wrench included with accessories to
loosen and tighten the Nosepiece.
3. 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 (#8); when Housing is removed, Jaw
pusher (#5) as well as 3 pieces of Jaws (#4) will be loose inside
Housing. (this size Jaw Pusher is for setting 1/4”& 3/16” rivets).
4. NOTE: Jaws must be correctly positioned inside Housing for optimal
performance. Place 3 pieces of Jaws down into small end of
Housing, with narrower ends of jaws facing downward and
protruding out small end of Housing. The long serrated edges face
inward towards each other. MAKE SURE THE 3 PIECES ARE IN
THE CORRECT POSITION –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. This insures
they are equally distributed.
5. Carefully screw Head (#2) back onto tool securely, making sure that
Jaw pieces stay in place. Then screw correct Nosepiece onto tool.
Please 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. Install Mandrel Bottle (#45) to back of Riveter.
7. Cycle air through tool once air connection is hooked up to insure
correct alignment of jaws.
Operating Instructions
1. Attach a ¼” NPT (Quick Connect Valve) to the Universal Joint (#69).
Plug air supply into Quick Connect Valve. Air supply should operate
at no higher than 100 PSI.
2. Squeeze Trigger (#51) 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 Adjuster Screw (#65) located
under the Mandrel Bottle area. Turn this screw counter-clockwise to
increase vacuum, or clockwise to decrease vacuum. The longer the
rivet, the stronger the vacuum must be to hold rivet in place in tool.
4. Mandrel will be ejected into Mandrel Bottle once Trigger is released.
5. NEVER allow Mandrel Bottle to fill more than 1/3 full. Damage to
Hydraulic Plunger may occur. To empty Mandrel Bottle, turn knob at
end of bottle to reveal bottle opening. Shake mandrels out of hole.
Once emptied, turn knob until opening is covered and Mandrel
Bottle is resealed.
