1.7 Mode of operation
The blind riveting tool features optimised operating speed. After inserting the blind rivet, the
blind riveting tool can be operated in two dierent modes:
a. Pressing and holding the trigger (H):
Pressing and holding the trigger (H) starts the riveting process. The riveting process stops
automatically when the rear end position is reached. The blind rivet extractor returns automat-
ically to the front starting position only when the trigger (H) is released.
b. Tapping the switch:
Briey tapping and immediately releasing the trigger (H) does not start the riveting process.
As soon as the mandrel breaks o, the blind riveting tool stops and automatically re-assumes
the front starting position.
• Eject the spent mandrel by tilting to the rear into the spent mandrel container or to the
front through the nosepiece.
• The blind riveting tool is equipped with overload protection. In the event of overloading
the blind riveting tool, e.g. by setting rivets that are outside the working range, riveting
stops, indicated by the 3 LEDs ashing slowly (1 Hz). Press the switch to make the blind
riveting tool go back to the start position and it is then ready for operation.
• The control detects a blockage on return (e.g. dirt, foreign object, etc. in the steel head
sleeve). The tool stops the return procedure and immediately assumes the rear end posi-
tion automatically. The fault is indicated by the LEDs ashing rapidly (2 Hz). The battery
pack must be removed and the fault eliminated. Then reinsert the battery and briey
press the switch. The tool assumes the front end position and is again ready for use.
