Operating Instructions
FOR SAFE OPERATION, THIS SECTION MUST BE READ AND UNDERSTOOD.
Do NOT pull a
fastener with the
collar upside down.
CORRECT CORRECT
Do NOT install a fastener without a
workpiece (structure to be fastened), a
pin, and a properly oriented collar in place.
WARNINGS:
To avoid severe personal injury, wear approved eye and ear protection.
Be sure of adequate clearance for operator’s hands before proceeding with
fastener installation.
the tool and directed away from all personnel.
Do NOT attempt to install a pin without placing the fastener and collar in the
work piece (structure to be fastened).
Do NOT attempt to install a pin without a properly oriented collar in place.
If these safety measures are not followed, the fastener could eject with great
velocity and cause severe personal injury.
This condition can cause pin to eject with great velocity and force if the
injury.
To avoid pinch point, never place hand between nose assembly and work
piece.
Only use compatible equipment with this tool.
CAUTIONS: Remove
excess gap from between
the sheets. This permits
enough pintail to emerge
from collar for ALL jaw
teeth to engage with
pintail. If ALL teeth do not
engage properly, jaws will
be damaged.
Note: In certain situations,
it may be permissible to
use a BobTail tool and
fastener without a collar
to remove sheet gap prior
to full installation with a
