• The blind rivet nut setting tool should only be used for setting blind rivet nuts and blind rivet
nut studs.
• Improperusewhenwindingdownandsettingnutsposesariskofcrushingyourngers!
• Do not overload the blind rivet nut setting tool; work within the prescribed work capacity.
• Do not exceed the permitted operating pressure.
• Donotrivetoutsideofrivetingholes!
• Checkconnectinglinesforcompressedairatregularintervalsforforcetandtightness.
• Disconnect the device from the compressed air network prior to carrying out any
maintenance work to the blind rivet nut setting tool, changing threaded mandrels or when
not in use.
• When working with the tool, always wear protective goggles. Personal protection like clothes,

3. Conguration
In addition to the standard tool, the FireRex®C-WT blind rivet nut setting tool is equipped
with sensors for recording the setting force and setting stroke during the setting process. A
process data module is integrated into the head housing of the blind rivet nut setting tool that
evaluates the recorded process data. The process evaluation is visualised on the blind rivet
nut setting tool by means of an LED integrated into the housing. The sensors employed in the
blind rivet nut setting tool and the process data module are maintenance-free. Figure 1 shows
thecongurationoftheFireRex®C-WT with setting process monitoring.
