Getting Started
After unpacking from the shipping
materials, set the unit on the bench-top.
Unscrew the front Foot Pad and L
bracket, turn L bracket over, and screw
Foot Pad back into place. This provides a
stop so the unit does not move backward
in use.
Connect the air supply. An optional Tee
fitting and Hex Nipple are supplied so that
a single air line may be used to power
both the Rivet Presenter and the Rivetool.
Plug in the Electric Power cord and turn on the
Power Switch.
Add rivets to the Reservoir up to the fill line
shown inside. Insert the Rivetool into the
Presenter Receptacle and hold in place for a
few minutes to allow the Track to fill with rivets.
You are now ready to work.
Unit Operation
Insert the nose of the Rivet Setting Tool into the Rivet Presenter Receptacle and push it in
to activate the unit. Remove the tool and rivet.
When the tool is inserted into the Presenter the Feed Drum starts rotating and dropping
rivets into the track Orientation Plate. At the same time one air cylinder moves the Index
Head at the bottom of the Rivet Track, allowing one rivet to drop into the Bottom Chamber.
Another air cylinder pushes the dropped rivet into the Tool Nosepiece. The vacuum Mandrel
Collection System of the Tool holds the rivet into the Nosepiece when the tool is removed
from the Presenter.
For safest operation, be sure to keep Spring Guard in place and Reservoir Cover closed.

In normal use, occasional cleaning of the Receptacle is all that is usually required.
Remove the Receptacle from the unit by unscrewing the Thumbscrew and sliding the
Receptacle out. Remove the two screws holding the back cover on and Carefully remove
the Cover. NOTE: Take care not to lose the Guide Jaws and Springs inside.
Care and Maintenance
Re-Assembly Hint: Assemble the Guide Jaws and Springs in place as shown and hold
them in place with the allen wrench used for the two screws. Put this in place on the
Adapter Assembly, Jaws in the slot, and slowly remove the wrench from the slot. The Cover
Assembly should seat fully to allow attachment of the Cover Screws.
When cleaning the Receptacle Assembly, wipe off dirt from the surfaces of the Guide Jaws,
and the Guide Jaw Slot in the Adapter Body. Lubrication of the Guide Jaws is not
recommended. Do Not use grease or solid lubrication on these surfaces as this will collect
dirt and inhibit smooth operation.
