lV. MAINTENANCE:
1. Tool Installation:
Swap the nose piece for the rivet size if the installed
one does not match your intended rivet size, then
tighten it onto the adapter with the wrench, check and
confirm other components are tightly fixed in position;
insert the hex shank into driving tool chuck. Tighten
firmly and switch driving tool to low speed mode.
2. Riveting:
2.1 Hold the adapter with one hand and operate your
driving tool with the other in REV until an audible
clicking sound comes from the adapter tool.
2.2 Release the trigger, check and confirm from
inspection hole on front tube that the plunger tube
inside is at the maximum forward position.
2.3 Insert the rivet mandrel into center hole of nose
piece and make sure the size of the rivet exactly
matches the nose piece.
2.4 Make sure there is no space between nose piece
and rivet flange.
2.5 Switch to the FWD direction of the driving tool.
2.6 Hold the adapter with one hand and lightly pull the
trigger of the driving tool with your other hand to have
the mandrel slightly gripped by the adapter, preventing
the inserted rivet from falling out.
2.7 Insert the rivet mandrel into drilled hole where it is
to be riveted and position the adapter aligned with hole
as best you can.
2.8 Grip the adapter firmly (wear work gloves) then pull
the trigger on the driving tool until the mandrel is
popped off of the rivet.
2.9 Reverse direction of the driving tool to release and
expose the left-over rivet mandrel. Depending on the
greasing of the tool's jaw pieces, the mandrel may or
may not fall out on its own.
Tip: Use low RPM's for better control of riveting
quality.
