4 SUBSTITUTING THE ROD
Before it is possible to use the tool it is necessary to install the appropriate threaded rod
according to the type of rivets to be mounted. The riveter can mount threaded rods M3, M4,
M5, M6.
1. Unscrew the rod guide nut that is currently
mounted on the body of the rivet using a
number 18 wrench.
Figure 3 - Removal of the guide nut.
2. With the tool supplied pull the casing of the threaded rod back and unscrew the screw
the rod manually until it can be removal
Figure 4 - Removal of the threaded rod.
3. After choosing the threaded rod which is
suitable for the rivet to be installed, pull
the casing back again, with the supplied
tool, and tighten the rod by hand. To
position the rod perfectly, rotate the knob
at the rear of the riveter to insert the hex
end of the rod into the casing in which it is
housed. Figure 5 - Substitution of the threaded
rod.
4. Re-screw the rod guide nut corresponding to the rod mounted using a number 18
spanner.

5 USING THE RIVETING TOOL
1. Mount and screw the rivet onto the rod of the riveter. Screw the rivet most of the
length of the threaded part of the rod. However, do not screw the rivet until it touches
the guide nut because it will make the operation of the riveting tool impossible
Figure 6 – Mounting the rivet
Inserting the rivet
Always screw the rivet onto the Riveter with the handles open.
2. Insert the rivet into the holes that are to be riveted together.

3. Press the handles together to insert the rivet into the hole. Briefly apply firm pressure
on the handles. Use the rear knob of the riveting tool to further tighten the rod of the
rivet for 2-3 full threads at a time and then proceed to re-press the handles together.
Repeat the procedure until the rivet is perfectly fixed.
Figure 8 – Securing the rivet
4. Use the rear knob to unscrew the riveter rod from the rivet. The rivet is now properly
