tion or fall protection).
• The air inlets for the motor must not be obstructed; do not insert any objects into them.
•
• Use only genuine spare parts for repair.
• Repairs must be carried out only by skilled personnel. In case of doubt, send in the blind

1.7 Maintenance
mandrels and nosepieces, as necessary (see section 2.1 for replacement of the threaded
mandrels).
Regular maintenance will extend the service life of your high-quality GESIPA® tools
which should be serviced at least every 2 years by an authorised workshop or by
GESIPA® Service. We recommend servicing of tools subject to intensive use at shorter
intervals.
1.8 Storage
1.5 Start-up
Important!
• Insert fully charged battery into the blind rivet nut setting tool in the correct position.
• Use a threaded mandrel and nosepiece size matching the size of the blind rivet nut.
•
25
GB
2. Functional principle
2.1 Replacement of the threaded mandrel (Fig. 3)
• Remove the battery from the tool.
• Loosen lock nut C using a double open-ended spanner (WAF 24/27).
•
•
•
•
•
2.2 Adjusting the threaded mandrel length “X“
• Loosen lock nut C.
•
• Fully utilise the thread depth of closed blind rivet nuts (Figure 4).
•
to prevent it from turning.
2.3 Adjusting the setting force
The setting force to be set depends on the blind rivet nut size and blind rivet nut material, and
on the materials to be riveted (material, hole diameter, material thickness).
1. Select the setting value from the quick setting guide
2. Set the selected setting value on the display
1. Select the setting value from the quick setting guide
The appropriate numerical value can be selected in the quick setting guide, depending on the
blind rivet nut size and blind rivet nut material.
(e.g. M5 - steel Guide value for the setting force 45)
These guide values have been determined using GESIPA® blind rivet nuts.
26
GB
2. Set the selected setting value on the display
Remove cover F, then set the selected value on the display G by pressing the plus or minus
buttons. Pressing the plus button increases the numerical value. Pressing the minus button
-
merical value changes in increments of 10.
The setting force of the riveting tool is increased by increasing the numerical value on display
G; the setting force is reduced by reducing the numerical value.
Important! As the setting behaviour can vary, depending on the blind rivet nut type, manufac-
turer or material thickness, a setting trial is recommended before riveting the selected part.
This should - if possible - be carried out on the original part.
Blind rivet nut not completely set
Increase the setting value in small increments
Blind rivet nut set with excessive force
- Threaded mandrel bent or broken
Reduce the setting value Blind rivet
Nut correctly set
- Closing head completely formed, thread not damaged
After adjusting the setting value, carry out a further setting trial and assess the setting result.
Important! If the correct setting value is not known or if in doubt, always start with
lower values in order to avoid damaging the tool!

2.4 Saving and loading the setting force
The FireBird® Pro (GE) is able to save the set force value to its integrated program memory
Save the numerical values as follows:
• Determine and set the numerical value to be programmed (see section 2.3).
•
memory (initial value P0) in order to save a set numerical value.
• A program memory location from P0 to P9 can be selected by pressing the plus or minus
• button.
• -
play once more.
Previously saved numerical values can be called up as follows:
•
seconds (> 2 sec.) calls up the program memory.
•
plus or minus button.
• Holding the S button pressed again (> 1 sec.) loads the selected program and the corres-
ponding numerical value is displayed.
The load or save sequence can be cancelled at any time by pressing the plus and minus
buttons at the same time (> 2 sec.).
