GENERAL NOTES AND USE
The tool must be used for rivets diam. 2,4 - 6 mm.
Diam 6 mm only in aluminium.
The RAC 181 oil pneumatic system assures more power than the pneumatic system used for other models.
reduction in the problems due to the wear and tear of the components, therefore, there will be an increase in
reliability. The technical solutions adopted reduce the dimensions and the weight of the tool which, for these
reasons, make it very handy. The possibilities of leakage from the oil-dynamic system are eliminated by some
sealed gaskets, solve this problem.

SAFETY MEASURES AND REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION!!!
All the operations must be done in conformity
with the safety requirements, in order to avoid
any consequence for your and other people’s
security and to allow the best tool work way.
• Read the instructions carefully before using the tool.
•For all maintenance and/or repairs please contact
FAR s.r.l. authorized service centers and use only
original spare parts. FAR s.r.l. may not be held liable
for damages from defective parts caused by failure
to observe what above mentioned (EEC directive
85/374).
The list of the service centres is available on our website
http://www.far.bo.it ( Organization )
• The tool must be used only by expert workers.
• A protective visor and gloves must be put on when using
the tool.
• Use equipment recommended in the maintenance chapter
to do any maintenance and/or regulation of the tool.
• For topping up the oil, we suggest using only fluids in
accordance with the features specified in this working book.
• If any drop of oil touches your skin, you must wash with
water and alkaline soap.
• The tool can be carried and we suggest putting it into its box
after using.
• The tool needs a thorough six-monthly overhaul.
• Repairing and cleaning operations must be done when the
tool is not fed.
• If it is possible, we suggest a safety balancer.
• If the A-weighted emission sound pressure level is more
than 70 dB (A), proper hearing protections have to be worn
(anti-noise headset, etc.).
• The workbench and the work surface must be always clean
and tidy. Messiness could cause injury to persons.
• Do not allow unauthorized persons to use the working tools.
• Make sure that the compressed air feeding hoses are properly
sized for their use.
• Do not carry the connected tool by pulling the hose. The pipe
must be far from any heating sources or from cutting parts.
• Keep the tools in good conditions; do not remove either safety
parts or silencers.
• After repair and/or adjustment operation, make sure to remove
the adjusting spanners.
• Before disconnecting the compressed air hose from the tool
make sure that there is no pressure in the hose.
• These instructions must be carefully followed.
GUARANTEE
FAR riveting tools are covered by a 12-month warranty. The
tool warranty period starts on the date of delivery to the
buyer, as specified in the relevant document. The warranty
covers the user/buyer provided that the tool is purchased
through an authorized dealer and only if it is used for the
purposes for which it was conceived. The warranty shall
not be valid if the tool is not used or maintained as specified
in the instruction and maintenance handbook. In the event
of defects or failures, FAR S.r.l. shall undertake solely to
repair and/or replace the components it judges to be faulty.

HOW TO USE YOUR RIVETING TOOL
Controlled suction (factory settings) (pic. f1-f2)
Fromthe"ON"positionensurethatthebutton(D)ispositionedas
in the picture (pic. f1), ie towards the inside of the riveting tool.
The suction starts pressing the lever (G) as shown in the
picture (pic. f2).
Suction OFF (pic. f3-f4-f5)
From the "OFF" position, through the provided pin (N), push in
the button (D), as shown in the picture (pic. f3).
In this setup, the nail comes out from the front by gravity or
from the back of the tool by tilting it, as per picture (pic. f4-f5).

press the locking device (M) on the opposite side (pic. f9).
When the nail container (C) is full, do not operate the riveter, unscrew the container (C) and empty it (pic. f10).
PLEASE DISPOSE OF NAILS CAREFULLY!
WARNING: When the riveting tool is used in the absence of nails tank (C), it is essential to fit the baffle (T) and the relative reduction
(S) (pic. F12), in order to avoid injury to the operator and / or persons close to him.

WARNING!
Disconnect air feed when performing those operations.
MAINTENANCE AND CHANGE OF SIZE (pic. f15-f16-f17-f18))
The prolonged use of the riveting tool can cause the slipping of the clamps on the nail because of the impurities. For this reason,
it is necessary to lubricate the clamps after cleaning. However, if clamps are worn out and their proper functioning compromised,
they must be replaced. First remove the head which carries the nozzle (I), by means of a standard spanner of 27 mm. Then, by
using two standard spanners of 11 mm and 16 mm, remove the cone (P) and extract the clamps (Q).
Whenreplacing thenozzle (L),use theproper suppliedwrench andscrew theremoved nozzle init inorder toavoid losingthe nozzle.

TOPPING UP OIL IN THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT (pic. f19)
Topping up the oil in thehydraulic circuitis necessary after a long
period of work, when there is a reduction of the riveter stroke.
Then proceed as follows: riveting tool on standby but fed and in
a vertical position, remove the cap (A) using the allen wrench 4
mm., remove also the nozzle (L) with the provided key. When
doing this operation use extreme caution to prevent oil spills.
Screw the oil container (Z), previously filled with commercial
hydraulic oil HLP 32 cSt, into the place of the cap (A).
By keeping the riveting tool vertically, press the trigger several
timesuntiltheriveterendsto makebubblesfrom the oilcontainer
(Z). It means that the oil filling has been fully achieved.
With the riveter still vertical and fed, unscrew the oil container
(Z) and then proceed by placing the cap (A).
WARNING: it is very important to follow the about mentioned
instructionsanduseglovesand protectionglassesor protective
visors. If you need to empty fully the hydraulic circuit, you must
put the oil in a suitable container and contact a Company that
is authorized to discharge any waste.
f19
ATTENTION!
Before disconnecting the compressed air hose,
make sure that it is not under pressure!
ATTENTION: Make sure that the oil filler cap ( A )
is tightened at a torque corresponding to min. 5
Nm ÷ Max. 8 Nm.
We recommend to use oil HLP 32 cSt or similars.
DISPOSAL OF THE RIVETING TOOL
Follow the prescriptions of the national laws for disposing of the riveting tool.
After disconnecting the tool from the pneumatic system, disassemble and split all the components according to
the material: steel, aluminium, plastic material, etc.
Then proceed to scrap the materials in accordance with current laws.
